"Gateau" is French for "cake." It is a local restaurant - we may even have eaten there once.

I noticed this visit that, apparently out of self-defense, they have been forced to add a "Green Gateau" to the dessert menu. But we all got cheesecake.

So then -

Wouldn't it have been more reasonable to call the place Gateau Vert or Vert Gateau?

And what's with a green cake? I suppose it's something like blue cheese, but isn't really blue.

But not alliterative. Remember, we're talking about the land of Herbie Husker here...

The Green Gateau itself was a small slice of cake with white dribbly icing, the icing in turn slightly marbelized with green. The actual flavor(s) remain a mystery. There are things Ann was not meant to know.

Oh, for god's sake. We might well live in the same town!

Does your town feature a giant Art Deco sandstone penis?

The Dickens you say!

I should think not! Ann must know all.
