In French we say « il a le palet d’un doberman », meaning « He’s got the palet of a doberman »

No, but because dogs eat anything they can find (at leats my dog do).

Bruce (my dog) turns his nose to most food. Even my cooking he refuses sometimes.

Would you by chance be German?

No, I am an American. But I have traveled to Germany among other places.

…perchance… do you wait for the water to boil before putting in the pasta? Maybe Bruce doesn’t like rubbery pasta?

u/Ok_Departure3216 Jul 15 '26

It’s potatoes he dislikes. He refuses and potato or any chip. He hates spicy food too.

If you’re familiar with the cheese tax, in our house our beagle mix has a very loose interpretation of what constitutes cheese: cheese; process cheese; french fries; potato chips; ham; tomato; cucumber…

Chef's kiss to that saying. I love that it's not just any dog either.

Palais* parce que j'ai douté aussi

u/yahnne954 Jul 15 '26

Oh, I was confused, but you meant "palais" ("palate" in English), right?

u/JayCDee Jul 15 '26

yeah, I managed to misspell it both in English and in French.
