He thought all cheese was as delicious as the Wisconsin cheddar he had during his semester abroad in Iowa.

It's a bit strange that the only food that I know to be French is baguette which is just a bread.

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 50 points 1 year ago

Their pastries and cooking methods as s general rule are great. Not sure if they found the one bad chef in France or what.

I've visited Paris once and all the food I had was mediocre at best. The restaurants I've visited don't know how to cook a steak, it was always overcooked. We went to one fancy place that was okay but all the normal food was really disappointing. The bakeries were good though.

Paris is shit. Everything about it is shit. It even smells like shit.

Go to some little town or large village in the middle of nowhere and you'll find really incredible boulangeries and fromageries. The people still kinda suck, but that's just France.

Foie gras, ortolan bunting, steak tartare, escargot

Raclette, Fondue, Bœuf Bourguignon, Tartiflette

(Three of them being just potato/cheese/meat)

[-] TraschcanOfIdeology@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Raclette, Fondue

These could also be Swiss, but then again, Swiss people are just mountain French.

There's also southern french and occitan food, like boullabaise, ratatouille, or nicoise salad. French food is extremely regional.

Yeah true, my fav is Brittany's galettes de sarasin

Do we think Xi is a wife guy?

[-] hello_hello@hexbear.net 50 points 1 year ago

I don't care but his wife is killing it with her look.

"How did they manage to make food that tastes just like how the fr*nch act?"

[-] Maoo@hexbear.net 43 points 1 year ago

"It's just... a piece of cheese?"

"We are so serving him stinky tofu next time he's in Beijing."

[-] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

There’s this one drink my wife and I tried in Beijing that looks like a coffee but smells and tastes pretty much like raw sewage, they should give that to him.

[-] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

"they only had camambert?"

[-] Beat_da_Rich@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 1 year ago

No lie though, escargot wasn't bad when I tried it. Like a grassy oyster.

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

I too am a snail enjoyer

[-] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Oysters are just sea boogers. Unless they’re cooked, then they’re alright.

[-] KrupskayaPraxis@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

They have them in Portugal as well, where they are called Caracois. Maybe the recipe is slightly different there, but I liked it.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

The face I make when it's 7pm and I know I have to spend at least two more hours at the party I'm clearly not enjoying
