[edit] De Frut

Is there a source for "De Frut" meaning "sour head cheese" ? I've always thought that it referred to French fries, in an number of Antwerp dialects called "frut". The newspaper would then have received its nickname because in those days, the fries were served in cones, made of old newspapers... --LucVerhelst 22:00, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Hmm. frut->zult->hoofdkaas->head cheese? Obvious, one can pack this meat mixture in newspapers as well :) Intangible 22:21, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Yes, obvious : frut->friet->french fries.
Did you ever try and pack frut (the meat) in the paper of newspapers ? Please try. I wonder what disassembles first, the paper or the frut... Boerekop is rather watery as a substance. :-D
One source indeed speaks of frut as in boerekop, the meat mixture. Originaly, GvA was a "centenblad", a very cheap newspaper for the masses. Hence the reference to boerekop, which is very cheap meat, made out of gelatine and scrapings (of organs, ...), meat for the masses. --LucVerhelst 22:31, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
