Flatware (French Canadian)
I know in France, we say "couverts de table". But in French Canadian, it seems some use "couverts" and some use "ustensiles de table". Can someone confirm this information and is one term wider use than the other?
Thanks.
Thanks.

[see also previous KudoZ in glossary, probably FR > EN]
Care is needed here as to know exactly what is mean by 'flatware'; in some contexts, it can mean 'just' cutlery, but in others, it also includes all kind of dishes, platters etc. that are made of metal, as distinct from 'crockery' which is made of china.

Merci, Emile ! I don't know if this term is the commonest term in CA, but I have certainly seen it used—rightly or wrongly—in high-class CA restaurants
