Duvet is "down" in French ... The duvet was originally from Scandinavia, when the shop Habitat bought them over to the UK late 60's they where sold as "Continental Quilts".

So an English name for copying something "foreign", it may catch on...

Apparently blancmange isnt a french word even though it sound french and starts with the french for white. But my ex french engineer swears its not .
