EDIT: Does anybody ELSE know know about the maerchen/メルヘン thing? Is it really inextricably linked to fruit sammiches? Is it actually the other way around, with fruit sammiches just being in that partcular category? Is it just sammiches as a whole? (This brings a whole new light to Mizuno Ami's fandom. I must know more about the demographic that contains me.)
Maerchen is the German word for a fairy tale, or the word for a German fairy tale. ...I really forget which. Anyways, the Japanese got ahold of this idea, uh, however they go about picking up these things---I'm thinking contact The Little Mermaid, the original version, would have done it. "Meruhen" is forever linked with the kind of melodramatic...fairy-tale...FLUFFERY that forms the heart of shoujo manga. So Maerchen means a fairy tale, and what heroine isn't dreaming of a Prince Charming? (<----Utena) (By the way, please stop translating it as "prince on a white horse," it makes him sound like he likes to fuck horses and instead of playing nice with princesses.)
...it's the wrong hour for me to explain what this has to do with sandwiches, or more specifically whipped cream, at least if I don't want to make this into a full-blown rant. I swear to God, I'll start screaming about titties or something and then nobody'll comment on the art. Weep.
