“Marie Antoinette” is probably the strangest food on that map. I had no idea about French meat preferences.
PS: I wonder where the Viennoiserie is from.
As a Pole, I find this offensive. We’re more than just potato munchers.
We’re also potato drinkers.
Is there anything a potato can’t do? 😍
Taxes.
[Laughs in Inca]
Where’s the UK? Should be “frightened of flavor.”
I don’t understand. The vast Atlantic Ocean is right there.
So utterly irrelevant it bares no mention. ^/s
Ha ha, that was pretty good. I feel like the Uk, scotland, and ireland, if not wales too, could be good puns even as the vast atlantic ocean is a good single pun.
English is not my first language, can you explain what the pun is on the ocean?
That english food is so bad that it’s not worth mentioning.
Oooohhh, I understand now. I didn’t notice that UK was missing on the map. Thank you
Love how the UK isn’t even there
“THE VAST ATLANTIC OCEAN.” Nothing to see here…
We are happy with everything we stole from other cultures thanks. Along with with a lot of carbs.
I wish I’d had shade like this all summer
that’s what brexit does to a mf
Brexit happened in 2016, the French knew what was up
dam i didnt even notice lmao u right
Nah, their “food” sucked well before that.
i meant it as in they exited physically and moved the island elsewhere
(credits to ZDF Heute-Show 2011-12-12)However, Ireland is gone too.

I mean the entire isle of Ireland is gone in the French cuisine map. The map in my reply depicts only the UK at a different position.
I actually realized the misunderstanding and deleted my comment, but I guess the deletion hasn’t echoed over to all federated instances yet!
Idk they missed 4 good puns for their one there. The scottish one almost rights itself, just describe haggis.
That was a good roast.
kinda wish it was there but just “BUTTER CHICKEN”
Tikka chips
And the Irish boiled potatoes, boiled meat and boiled cabbage are missing too.
You can do plenty more than just boil a potato
Like mashing or sticking it in a stew?
“map of Europe”
I like it how the map essentially says “we cannot find anything proper to complain about Italy.”
“We stole half our flavor profiles from them and refuse to admit it, so we pretend like anything we stole is actually just common knowledge.”
Meatball inventors? We stole that straight up from the ottomans
That’s why the map says meatball “inventors” instead of just meatball inventors
The Franco-Ottoman alliance of 1536 stands strong
Ah yeah, I missed the quotation marks
Soggy pastry? I’m a Dane, and I have absolutely no clue, what that’s supposed to refer to?
Maybe it’s the cookies that come with every new sewing box.
I don’t know how it is in France, but if someone says “Danish pastry” where I’m from, they’re talking about wienerbrød.
heh…
Wiener bread.
Probably all the filled pastries?
As an American that has lived in dk for 7 years, I’ve no clue either. Danes sure do love their sweets, but I can’t think of any soggy ones.
Probably any pastry thats not as dry as a croissant
Not for nothin, we love to see a territorially intact Ukraine.
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.
However French baguettes are so good the Italians had to copy it with their Ciabatta.
French food is under spiced.
Like lots of useful techniques, don’t get me wrong, but, no. The culinary tradition is limited in regards to scope of ingredients and flavor profiles.
At least the Germans are humble enough to eagerly adopt new spices and seasonings.
Edit: croissants are from Austria
France as proper cuisine? I have to disagree… The best cuisine is the one i grew up eating!
BTW, Marie Antoinette ?!
Let them eat cake. The Ösis love their sweet dishes.
As someone who was lucky enough to visit Italy, it is far from overrated.
It’s the only country I’ve ever traveled to where it felt like everyone was trying to upsell you on every little thing. See those bread sticks in the center of the table? Don’t touch them, don’t even fucking glance at them, or you’ll get charged an arm and a leg in Euros. Ask for water but you wanted still and not sparkling? Fuck you son, that’s another charge you didn’t think about.
One place I went to, I shit you not, had the toilet seat and toilet paper chained to a weight you had to carry from the front of the shop to the upstairs toilet after making a purchase.
The food was just ok.
Where the hell did you go in Italy? All the food I got was super cheap. Sounds like you ate at the equivalent of a southern USA gas station
The seat chained to a weight was in Venice. TBF they did have an issue with people stealing their toilet paper…but the seat?
I will say, there was a little spot in Florence where we saw one of the workers run out the back to a nearby shop to grab an ingredient they’d just run out of. That was pretty cool of them.
My friend from Finland (of all places) went there and said it was overrated
Maybe he lacks taste buds, biologically?
Honestly I’d believe that for all of Scandinavia, but it also might be that the salt liquorice burns them off at a young age.
I’d say 90% of places I went were remarkably meh. But that 10% was on point.
Well I’ve never been to Finland, maybe their food is vastly superior. And to be fair it doesn’t take much to be better than the USA. So maybe your friend is right
Finland is the land where only spices are salt and pepper.
Well I’m not judging until I eat it with a side of ice cube salad
Dill, you forgot about dill. Also Aromat.
Right? I feel like the labels for Italy and France should be switched.
Well this is still according to the French so take it with a grain of salt!
And an entire bulb of garlic.
It took me far too long to realise that, by “rotten cabbage”, they mean Sauerkraut.
The true overrated cuisine is the french one
