And in the other hand, using English in a menu in France tends to make people think it's a cheap or junk food.

@Minhtri.1507 6 месяцев назад

it's "smart and expensive" because of script don't show a comma between hahaa

@bbclearningenglish 6 месяцев назад

Neil said 'posh means fashionable, smart, expensive and exclusive'. Smart and expensive are separated by a comma, as Neil was listing the similar words. 'Smart' is to look stylish, and 'expensive' means that it costs a lot of money 😊

gourmet food ; food which is better quality and more sophisticated than usual and often more expensive. fancy ; special, unusual and decorative pretentious: try to appear more important or clever than they really are

@BriantheBrick 6 месяцев назад

Most gourmet foods are fancy and use posh French names to sound pretentious. However, this might cause some diners to be sarcastic or even turn them off completely.

This should be BBC learning French. Actually，many Frenchmen always say that British do not know what is cooking. However, please treat my Aunt a Gourmet burger, Condi. Indeed, She will take a long flight from Shanghai to San Francisco, so she must be very tied. Thank you, Condi.
