If you Google "Anyone for croquet?" you'll learn just how many croquet clubs there are in the world! I still don't know who originally termed this phrase but I did read some amusing anecdotes about the game:
"Croquet came first at the Paris Olympics of 1900, and was
the first Olympic event that women could enter. All the medals were won by
France which is not surprising, as the only non-French competitor was a Belgian
that failed to complete the first round."
“Lewis Carroll
featured a nonsense version of the game in the popular children's novel Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland: a hedgehog was used as the ball, a flamingo the
mallet, and playing cards as the hoops.” No mention of pineapples!
This one’s my favourite “H. G. Wells wrote The Croquet
Player, which uses croquet as a metaphor for the way in which people confront
the very problem of their own existence.” http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croquet
Of course none of this has anything to do with croquettes! Anne.
I wonder how a croquette differs from a rissole?
