As I grew up in France, I assumed that our reputation for good food abroad was probably just good marketing by our food industry, but grossly exaggerated.
After having traveled a bit though, I now realize that not a lot of cultures takes food and cooking as seriously as we do. There is really a cultural thing here.
I’m sure it’s lovely, just softly disagreed with calling it the pinacle of food, when it’s just personal opinion
And also because I wanted to get in a few jabs at french “fine dining” hehehe. Though, my dislike of overly expensive food is also just my opinion
Perhaps I’ll get a chance to experience down to earth French cooking overseas, but not here
I appreciate the response though, it was a good read :)

I mean, I’m sure it’s nice in general. But because of economics it’s not desirable here (for dining out)
