Haha- 20 years ago, my husband and I went on our first trip to Paris.
I was so excited as it had been a long dream.

We stopped in a small cafe for lunch and in my best high school
French, I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich and orange juice. It came
on a tasty baguette and had only ham and cheese. My husband- who was
not a Francophile and was only used to Hawaiian type stuff, turned to
me and said "Don't they use mayonnaise?" I replied- it seems like a
French word- but we learned that in France, the sandwiches we were
used to, did not have butter nor mayonnaise.

aloha,
