Snacks and slang

Food is a topic of great importance to the French people, as well as to college students like myself. That's why I've spent much time and too many Euros exploring Aix-en-Provence's culinary outlets. Two of them have names that piqued my interest, and I thought I'd share.

I haven't actually eaten here, but the name is interesting. As you can see, the logo for "Faceboof" looks remarkably like that of networking website Facebook.

La bouffe, however, is French slang for "food, grub", and bouffer means "to eat". So the café's name is a clever twisting of the word "Facebook" to mean "Face food", a meaning clarified by the little picture at the top right of the storefront.
I have eaten here, and it's fantastic. La Fringale offers fries, sandwiches, crêpes and more from their little sidewalk stand near La Rotunde. It's cheap, quick, and delicious. It's also open almost every time I pass, impressive for a French establishment.

As for the name? La fringale means "raging hunger", and J'ai la fringale is a slang expression for "to be hungry". This is, then, the location to go in order to satisfy your raging hunger.
