Reply to comment by MaedayMaeday in [homemade] prime rib and mashed potatoes by boogersforlunch

Yeah I know what it is, it’s just odd. Random French words. A lot around food in the US does it, it’s odd.

I mean, doesn’t matter, I’m not hateful.

What makes it odd? That’s the name of the sauce so it should be used correctly. We could call it meat juice instead if that sounds more appetizing and appropriate for you.

Might not be hateful but shaming others isn’t cool either

Shaming? I made an effort to make sure that we were all okay and no one was upset or offended by my unimportant off-hand comment. But no, I’m still shaming people.

Yes, you are shaming someone by telling them their usage of a word was used correctly but they shouldn’t use it because they should only write in English. Also, who would be offended? Chefs and servers would want you to use the correct word. If you ordered prime rib with gravy but meant au jus, you wouldn’t get what you ordered.
