Au Jus - English Language

English Language

In the United States, the term "Au jus" often is incorrectly used to refer to the broth, rather than meaning "with the broth" as in French. So rather than a "sandwich au jus", the menu may read "sandwich with au jus". It is typically served with the French dip sandwich.

Famous quotes containing the words english language, english and/or language:

    The two most beautiful words in the English language are “check enclosed.”
    Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)

    In an English dinner-party ... I have never known small-talk run short!
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    Strange goings on! Jones did it slowly, deliberately, in the bathroom, with a knife, at midnight. What he did was butter a piece of toast. We are too familiar with the language of action to notice at first an anomaly: the ‘it’ of ‘Jones did it slowly, deliberately,...’ seems to refer to some entity, presumably an action, that is then characterized in a number of ways.
    Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
