Are there any other words for buffalo?
Must consult thesaurus...
It was following in from 'basin' ...so its the name of some famous cookware rather than something edible. I feel sure you must have heard of it.
Think French. I haven't got any of this brand either except for a huge frying pan which I got from a charity shop at bargain price. Its way too expensive IMHO. But it is a well known brand.
Ah well.. I thought everyone interested in cooking would know of Le Creuset. But, in truth, you are not missing much. They are a bit of a middle/upper class affectation in my opinion. You could pay £150 for a casserole dish. I'm not keen on them as they are very heavy to lift and, I find, difficult to keep clean. I use good quality non-stick or stainless steel and sometimes an earthenware casserole dish. I think the brand became popular here in the late 60's/70's due to the rise in popularity of French and Italian food amongst the middle classes (Elizabeth David et al). They have a rustic French farmhouse look. At that time they were probably one of the only cast iron ceramic ranges available.
