Last night I went with Emilie, Cécile and Yvain to see a concert at the Montreux Jazz Festival. While I had been to the festival last year with Erin during her visit (there’s a related post from July '09), this was the first time that I had gone to see a specific band.
The group was Phoenix – a French, alternative rock band that Emilie is a fan of. I wasn’t very familiar with them or their music, but thought they put on a very good live performance. And it turns out that Erin is a very big fan of them as well, which I learned after telling her about the show.
My favorite part of the Montreux Jazz Festival is the food. There are literally hundreds of booths to choose from, representing a broad selection of global cuisine. We decided to go with Mediterranean and it was very good.
I found the large menu at the back of the booth to be pretty funny. Unfortunately, the camera phone picture that I took did not come out clearly, so I’ve included the relevant text below the picture as well.

“Ass. Kebab Frites…”
“Ass. Poulet Kebab Frites…”
“Ass. Falafel Frites…”
“Ass. Poulet Kebab Frites…”
“Ass. Falafel Frites…”
I understood the meaning – “ass.” being an abbreviation for “assortiment”, which you may have already guessed basically means “selection” or “assortment”. Nonetheless, the 12 year old in me found the phrasing funny when it was my turn to order an “Ass. Kebab”.
