Lol, the French cannot even make wine as good as Italians can and they think they can touch their food?
LOL, that’s funny. As an italian, I regret not having tried real french cuisine yet.
They can’t even make wine as good as you can. They shouldn’t even think to criticize the food
Marie Antoinette?
What cuisine should that be?Cake, maybe?
Eat the rich
I think this belongs more in !cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee
But I chuckled so thanks for sharing
“The Vast Atlantic Ocean” is 😙🤌
Cruel, heartless, totally deserved. Appropriate friendly banter.
What do you mean? That’s just reality, isn’t it?
"inventors"
is the best diss i’ve ever seen for modern swedish foodi asked a friend from italy what she thought about our pizza and she basically said “as long as i don’t think of it as pizza it’s fine”
she and her bf would regularly hang out with the guy who ran the only italian pizzeria in town and they would shit-talk our food for hours. mad respect.
Meh, “proper cuisine” is definitely accurate since it’s our national pride, but most of the others don’t really feel like french stereotypes. “Soggy pastry” for Denmark even sounds suspiciously american, I’ve never heard anyone say that about this country in France and I don’t even know what it’s referring to
Yeah as a Scandinavia living in france, all that part is totally off too.
The Meatball thing? Sounds amerikanish too, def not french.
The meatball thing came from Ikea 100%
I took a look at the website this is coming from, it seems to be mostly the blog author’s interpretation of what the stereotypes are for each of their maps
Chicken Tikka Masala was invented in the UK. I can’t think of a single item of French cuisine I would choose over Chicken Tikka Masala.
The best restaurants I’ve ever been to have been in London. But, then, they rarely serve “traditional” English food. Dollar for dollar, the food in London is better than the food in Paris.
Outside of London - sorry, I agree with the map. English cuisine has a few of things they do better than anyone else, but the meals have not impressed me. I can’t speak for the rest of the UK; I haven’t visited Scotland or Ireland, and only drove a few miles in Wales by accident.
However. I will fight anyone for a Cornish pasty. I don’t know where they were invented, but like all great foods they’re both delicious and made with, like, 6 ingredients.
My credentials include more than a single trip. I’ve had 4 vacations in France, and 2 years lived for 2 weeks every other month in Paris. I’ve had two vacations in England, and lived for 1-2 weeks every month in London, again for two years running. I have a great amount of experience with restaurants at all price ranges in both cities, and a reasonable exposure to cuisine outside of the capitals.
I agree. But we don’t get recognised. I couldn’t be more amused.
I’m amused too, I just felt the need to point that out.
I love your pubs and have found the food enjoyable in my limited experience. I will say I don’t understand Kickey Ball were the guys run around and never kick the ball into the Giant barn door sized goal… But it’s vastly superior to the American version which leads to irreversible brain damage.
This feels more like !cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee!
if ćevapčići is famine food call me starved
No such thing as too much pepper
It’s ironic that they’ve missed out Ireland, throwing some great hunger shade.
The French admit that ‘French fries’ are in fact Belgian? Sounds very un-French.
I don’t. I don’t necessarily think they’re French either tho, but France, Spain and Chile each have a better claim to it than Belgium.
The term French Fries was most likely coined by American GIs, the French never had anything to do with that
pomme frites??
Yeah that’s surprisingly one thing we all agree on
What’s “soggy pastry” talking about?
I’m more concerned about the fact that they think Austrians subsist on the corpse of a queen.
Every frenchperson who came to serbia eats like they have never tasted food before. Dunno
