    France is good for bread and wine. French food is basically Italian food without pasta. Lots of butter and salt with no competing flavors. Want something with your savory dish? Fuck you, pair it with a wine. Want spicy? Fuck you that’s not tradition!

    French food is bad. It tastes fine but the ceremony and culture around it are toxic.

      “French food is really good.” they told me during months I spent traveling all around country over many years. “It’s just complicated and most people don’t know how to cook it.”

      Me “So in the past two weeks I have tried 14 different places in 6 different cities and all 14 meals have been horrible. Okay…”

      There’s a reason why a tire company publishing a list of recommended places to eat when traveling around France became so popular. Its not because the average place to get food was good.

      Mexico: Stopping at a gas station, a little old lady hand rolling tortillas and cooking them on an open bbq. Her “Tacos?” Me nodding vigorously"Si, si, si" They were insanely delicious.

        Yeah I can’t think of any French food that I’m like yeah this is good. Michlin stars? I to like the putting on sticky gold stars in grade school to make myself feel better? I literally have no memory that I can say that was something good that I tried.

        I’ll have an Irish/English breakfast or fish and chips any day. German sourdough or bratwurst and pretzels or schnitzel. Sushi any day.

        The irony is there’s a what used to be a gas station, and repair place as I had my car worked on there, that’s now considered one of the best Mexican places in town.

        Hey! The ciabatta is totally different from a baguette!

        Ciabatta’s crust is more thicc, the crumb has more holes and is more chewy while the baguette crust isn’t as thicc as ciabatta’s one and the crumb is more dense and soft

          True, but I believe the baker who invented it did state that it was meant to compete or substitute a baguette, but Italian.

          Baguette: Chewy on the inside, hard, crusty, and chewy on the outside. Gotta scrape the inside of your mouth and give your jaw muscles a workout. If your mouth and jaw isn’t sore after eating one, it’s no good.

          Ciabatta: We like the chewy but the hard and crusty not so much. Let put a ton of olive oil on the outside to lessen the crusty, but keep the chewy. And being Italian, olive oil goes on most things anyways.

      I can’t even tell you what French food is… Nothing comes to mind as particularly French. I can imagine Italian, Greek, Spanish, German, etc but all I can come up with for French is baguettes and escargot.

      Nice rage bait try 😁

      If you seriously think french food is bread and wine, lol, then you have a lot of nice food to discover.

      Next time add cheese to the stereotype 😉
