Translated from french, means "apple of
beef". The meaty
lobe of tissue that joins the lower butt-cheek to the upper, inner/back portion of the thigh. It's not quite the butt-cheek, and not quite the thigh, but a
small, meaty thing all its own.
Frank had
always preferred to be bitten on the pomme
de boeuf, so proper hygiene and
grooming was an imperative for him.
