Traditional French Fry day

[screened porch]

Two modern versions of the Capuchadou, with Horn handles!!

They don't look at all like my idea of a capuchin. They're beautiful nonetheless.

They're also a kind of monk, who wore a hood that resembled enough the end of the handle to give the knife its name, if memory serves.

Capucines were/are a type of Catholic order. From this stem the name for the monkeys and the high octane concentrated coffee treat!

That's a fantastic question.

I am visualizing a bunch of highly caffeinated monkeys running around.
