Pommes De Terre

When I was in college I met an authentic French-from-France person. I was so excited I invited her to my apartment for supper and when she walked in I tried out my French. I offered her pommes de terre! She laughed so hard because I had just offered her potato juice when I thought I was offering her apple juice. Pommes de terre translated are apples of the earth. Perhaps I should have given her vodka.
