Schmetterling, Pappilon, Farfalla, Butterfly - In every language the word for Butterfly is universally as beautiful as what it describes.

If I were to tell you that the Russian for butterfly is бабочка (BA-botch-kah), would you find it beautiful still?

Mariposa is delightful, too!

All of those sound like food to me! Schmetterling, a german chocolate treat; Pappilon, a petite french cream cake; Farfalla, a spanish or mexican dish popular at lunchtime. Hey even butterfly sounds like it could be a fatty treat on a stick...

I am so sorry, we're having a late lunch today.
