I could be wrong, but the French people I've met have been the most resistant to going vegan than any race I've even met. It's like all the pigeon and frog and goose they're eating causes them to be unable to eat tofu.
Reminds me of this [cw: mention of f*sting]
oh, you did not mean fasting lmao
I didn't even think of that
Dead laughing now 
I'd rather fist than fast, tbh
I thought the same
I've met plenty of Spanish people who seemingly can't comprehend that chicken isn't vegetarian.
There's fucking Ortolan that is so shameful it's traditional to put the napkin over your head to hide what the fuck you're actually doing
French cuisine is a very complicated way of chugging a whole carton of heavy cream. Sure, it tastes pretty good, but: why?
it tastes pretty good
You've heard of the gallon of milk a day diet, well im on that carton of cream grind
Italian food is 10x better.
Honestly in terms of everything I'd argue Italy is better than France. Prettier country, better food, better wine, more interesting history and culture. Idk why people jerk off France so much when Italy is right there, I'd travel to Italy over France any day.
I've never felt fear for my life like I have when driving in Italy, whereas France is only occasionally a little scary, so that's one thing.
Saying Italy is prettier is something I would contest as well, they both have stunning sections of the Alps and rolling Mediterranean countryside, it's not easy to tell where Italy starts and France ends without the signposts.
Italian food I think is a little nicer, but it's a close contest and French Vs Italian wine I would say goes the other way.
name 1 thing italian that comes from Italy though 
Name one thing from anywhere that originally came from that place 100% with no outside influence. You'll maybe get like three dishes from Iran and that's maybe it.
fascism
Italy is the first Euro country I'm going to when I get the chance. I will walk around Napoli for days and eat until I fucking explode.
Unacceptable Opinion
French food just makes me wish I was eating Latine food, leaving me totally unfulfilled.
It's not hard to have good food when your definition of good is "I have covered this thing in a butter sauce"
haha hell yeah 
Out of like classic western foods it’s pretty good, lots of focus on fresh bread, wine, and cream. Personally I think it’s pretty overrated but I think a lot of westerners with underdeveloped palates are happy to land on the sort of rich and creamy bases that a lot of French food has. I do think that it really has created a concept of high-class dining that seems to preclude the use of animal product (I love cooking and it wasn’t until I start cooking more Indian and Asian food that I realized that a lot of my ideas of incorporating meat and animal product into my diet was simply due to this).
I encountered some dipshit on social media years ago that claimed he could never stop eating animals or their products because they were required for authentic 
cuisine.
French food slaps. Shame it's overly pretentious a lot of times
Italian food is the most overrated shit ever. America needs to convert all its Italian restaurants into French ones tbh
I tell you hwut, nobody's eating at a restaurant called The ITALIAN Laundry
France tried making a metric system for food quality. This made french cuisine synonymous with quality and paved the way for an inevitable backlash.
What is the TMB?
I don't like butter, meat, bread, or wine so that doesn't leave me with much options in fr*nch "cuisine"
me: "Is there anything on the menu without wine
waiter:
Lol yeah... I'm allergic to grapes, so I can't eat at like any french restaurant
though frankly, I have enough allergies I generally don't feel safe eating at any restaurant
I do like the bastardized french cooking I make for myself at home though, using rice wine, coconut cream, and vegan butter
It really is amazing how much they managed to accomplish with flour, milk, and the occasional egg.
It makes me wonder what could be accomplished if chefs spent 300 years making the fanciest food possible out of, like, some seed or nut or tuber.
tbf outside of cajun or indigenous meals - most american food is ass and the quality of ingredients is even worse.
French food is true Fatboy Food. It's like the yank who salivates over a triple bacon burger knew what herbs were.
Its for sure better than anything else in northern Europe but thats not saying much.
French people have good food.
Hard disagree.
The French are not people.
Their food is pretty good though.
French people have good food, but the whole palette of Chinese cuisine is far more diverse imo, very much not afraid of a char and a skewer. French food is interesting because of how much a single item and it's products are used in any given dish, but overall flavor profile is not acidic enough imo.
well yeah, china is a continents worth of cuisine, of course they have more diversity than any given country in "europe"
Death to America
I'm probably the best at cooking French stuff just because it's easy af, just load stuff up with butter and cream and savory herbs, thyme and rosemary and all that jazz, don't have to worry about balancing spiciness or complicated flavors just throw a bunch of garlic and onion in there. Ez
Putting butter on everything doesn't count as real food.
what is this anti-butter stance i see often on hexbear
unless it's for vegan reasons butter is good and you can stay mad about it
Butter tastes good. Adding butter to something else is not a crazy skill move
They do tho. You ever try their amora mayo with Dijon? It fucking slaps
What dishes did you have?
alpine
I think you're actually eating Swiss cuisine...
Btw, doesn't every culture at least have a broken clock, when it comes to good food?
