There Is More To The Name Than Meets The Dish

________________________________________________________________________________________________

My doctor
played the game of
"Word Association"
with me and said
CHATEAUBRIAND

My response was

Upscale Steak Dish

Then he showed me
this image:

I said
It looks more funeral
than edible

My doctor said
You need some brain food

He immediately prescribed
a different kind of
Chateaubriand

It was a book:

Despite the title
and the excessively
dark image,
there is nothing
in this book
to remind me of
Dracula
but there is enough
in the first seventy pages
to remind me
of virtually every
quality author born after
the eighteenth century

Below is a sample quote from
Francois Rene de Chateaubriand


 

A sweet and succinct
Love Story
from Chateaubriand
