Fyi I spent some time today checking out some food related sites with the ability to post your Questions etc., A number of these pages are very well known and followed by many,many people world wide. For the most part they we're not really user friendly and to be honest with you if you need your shoes repaired (shoe makers) check out some related sites. See you when you return

In French we say: Les cordonniers sont les plus mal chausses. Meaning, the shoemakers have the worse shoes. |

Having been a cordwainer myself (cordonnier, shoemaker, souter, etc.), COBBLERS repair shoes . . . cordwainers make them.
Sorry, I'm just being an historical PITA (pain in the . . . )

Shoemakers sort of means amateurs, or people who don't quite know what they're doing. No offense to people who do make shoes... |

No offense taken, momoreg! I've never heard that expression before.
Sisi, we have "the shoemaker's children always go barefoot," and "every son of a shoemaker is born a prince." I think that last one is of French origin, actually.

Marye,
Never heard the one about the son of the shoemaker being born a prince. The only shoemaker proverb is the one I mentioned. I checked the dictionary pink's page and didn't see anything else either. But I could be wrong.

Marye,
I see by your answer that you must have somewhere a touch of french blood.  |

You could be right . . . the Gaels originated in Gaul, didn't they? I never thought of that! |

Not to deflect attention from the Great Shoemaker Riddle, but ... was the original point that Cheftalk has the most useful board?
I mean, not to butter anybody up but that's why I hang around here. Plus learning French aphorisms, etc.
If there's a better cooking questions board I'd like to hear about it.
