Take a stroll down memory lane (read all 2 entries…)
this is kind of a strange entry to start my stroll down memory lane... 23 months ago

but when I was growing up our grater had on it stamped into the metal: “Grater Rape”. That always confused and bothered me and I wondered why they would put such a thing on the grater…

I have since found out that rape is the French word for grater, and we being a half hour from Canada were in the area where they’d market in French as well as English.

Very confusing for a young girl though, I must say. I would never have dared ask my mother about it.
