We flute players usually call La# Si bemolle (b)....so when someone tells us La# we are weirded out...
I wonder what tricks pianists use to recall them

I'm debating whether to post a hilarious Simpsons video of Homer and Marge getting freaky.
But I'm not going to.
Besides, it might make my announcement meaningful.

What is the origin of esculent?
People of a certain age may remember the old TV commercial from around 1957 or 1958 for Nucoa oleomargarine, “The new ubiquitous comestible is Nucoa, over all,” written by the great Stan Freberg. Esculent is right up there with comestible in the obscure word category. Both words mean exactly the same thing, “edible, something edible,” and both words derive from the Latin verb esse “to eat,” from the Proto-Indo-European root ed– “to eat” (preliterary Latin edsi “to eat” becomes esse in Latin). A suffixed noun form of ed-, edeska, becomes Latin esca “food,” from which the adjective esculentus is derived. Comestible comes from Late Latin comestibilis “eatable, edible,” from the Latin compound verb comesse (also comedere) “to eat up, finish eating,” formed from the intensive prefix com– and the simple verb esse. Esculent entered English in the first half of the 17th century (comestible in the late 15th century).

I have never understood the difference between shortening and margarine....btw...we Italians use little butter, we prefer margarine and oils like peanut oil or sunflower oil to fry....
I had never thought about that. But I found this The word “shortening” actually refers to all fat and oils, but is most commonly associated with Crisco and other vegetable oil products.
