Question

Fans debate what Jerry actually says in a specific scene, with most agreeing he says "Like the quiche thing?" referencing the cultural saying that real men don't eat quiche.

JERRY: Did she mention anything about our lunch?

ELAINE: Uh, kind of.

JERRY: What do you mean, "kind of."?

ELAINE: I mean, she thought it was kind of strange to just order a salad. . . . You know. . . . For a man.

JERRY: -->> What are you saying? <<-- . . . Salad! What was I thinking? Women don't respect salad eaters.

This is from the script section on Mike's page, but it's wrong, Jerry isn't saying "What are you saying", he's saying something else, but I can't make it out. Anyone?

wow, good question. i listened to in a few times and i'm clueless what he's saying. almost sounds like "tried the quiche thing" but that can't be right. right after he says that, elaine says "it's in the ballpark" that line i am pretty sure of. i'll keep guessing jerry's line.

Jerry says "Like the quiche thing?"

I can not recall quiche having been mentioned in any other episode, but maybe. Or is there a common idea in America that "there is something wrong" with men eating quiche?

Yes, back about twenty years ago, more or less, there was a saying; "real men don't eat quiche." Probably spread by short guys with teeny...well, never mind.

It's eaten as a meal, and it's very filling. And I don't have any problems, if you know what I mean.

There are also vegetable quiches, spinach quiches, and other yuppie variations. Now, real men don't eat those...

I've eaten those quiches, and there is nothing wrong with it. People's personal egg based dish preferences are nobody's business but their own!

That shouldn�t be a problem. Quiche is a french word, french dish. Frog is not a common ingredient here though.

Btw, Quiche is called quiche in Swedish as well. (I believe Stefan who asked "what is quiche" is Swedish.)

Ok, I don't speak frensh though...

Yes, I am Swedish, but I have never used the word quiche. Perhaps, now that I know what it means, I should start using it.

That's funny. I am an American who is living in Norway and the in-house cafeteria at my place of work serves quiche at least once a month. It's funny how two nations so close together can be so far away!

In an attempt to describe what quiche is, LRod stated:

<<On the off chance that you're serious, quiche is a pie, the filling of which is usually cheese and cream. The traditional quiche Lorraine also includes bacon and onions (probably something else I've forgotten). >>

Ummm, isn't quiche an egg dish? Could THAT be what you've forgotten?

Ha-ha! What is this? a cooking class? and who are you? the replacement for the late Julia Childs who just passed away recently?

Thanks for the recipe though!

It's a pizza place where you make your own pie!

Ooh... Switzerland, the Von Trapp family, huh?

These are sweatshop eggs!

Damn it, they gave me cream! I asked for nonfat milk!

Have you gotten all the salt off those pretzels yet?

You got any pepper? <shakes it out, sniffs it up, and sneezes loudly>

But where does the meat go?

You got any butter? I am using it to shave.

Boy, you know when Joel told me he hadn't thrown up in 8 years, I was wondering if he was normal.

As you can see, Tim, even recipies have *something* to do with Seinfeld.

Have you ever had your mind come up with an extra line on its own? A continuation of a scene or a slightly different turn of events when you watch a Seinfeld episode?

I had this idea about George trying to convince Patrice, in "The Truth", when G and J go see her in the depression clinic, that he himself also use to have chop sticks in his hair.

It works for me.
