Wiki seems to have it...
"In a similar manner to the English use of the word "frog" to insult the French, the French use "rosbif", meaning roast beef, as an insult to the English because of their association with the dish" |

What I find amusing about it - is that the word 'Beef' comes from the French word Boeuf - which came to Britain after the 1066 invasion & the Normans (the new 'overlords') imposed a new language structure on the British (Anglo Norman) Prior to that - it was just called 'Cow'
So it's a French word they are apparently 'insulting' us with How does that work ? |

We need to aim for at least a Jalfrezi because: a) it rhymes with crazy b) it's hot and full of sparkling taste sensations (Ck tk Masalla is just meat with red gravy) c) It sounds harder than masalla, which is a bit ghey. If we are working on improving our national identity this should be a key milestone. ETA - Chinese food is also out - it is just hot jam and meat. |

If I need a lesson in ANYTHING, I really cannot see me ever asking the French.
I have not read or seen anything good about them. Ever. |
