[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]French PP here. I just remembered he's originally from Turkey, right? Turks do say crudites, because they've borrowed a lot of words from French.

So maybe he thought it was a normal word to use?

But I got everyone's point that if he's seeking to represent the people of PA, then he should know them a little better.

Yes, and also, in general, people in the US tend to use French words in when they are trying to be fancy and sophisticated. When I planned my wedding, the caterer offered "crudité" for the cocktail hour. Otherwise, it's not a word I see or hear much. Having a party at the country club, inviting the CEOs and their spouses over for dinner, or going out to someone's house in the Hamptons? Then, sure, use the word crudité. Otherwise, if you're eating at home, having your friends over for dinner, or going to the neighborhood block party, it's a vegetable tray. And as a native Pennsylvanian, I think I can say, frankly, that unless you're from the Main Line or Society Hill or the Pittsburgh equivalent, most Pennsylvanians would say, "WTF is he talking about?" even if they know what the word means. Because no one talks like that.[/quote]
