Now this is a change of scene: Culinary Pediments....

Isn't the pediment something like a little roof that goes up outside a building--like a pediment above a door?
I can't liu right now 'cause I'm on my way home for Thanksgiving break, hallelujah!

But ped is bound to come from foot--and yet here's this architectural structure that is well above the usual place for the feet. Interesting.....

So, a culinary pediment could be a chef's hat...oui? Do you follow my thinking here?

Best regards and happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating it!
