"inventors" is the best diss i've ever seen for modern swedish food

i asked a friend from italy what she thought about our pizza and she basically said "as long as i don't think of it as pizza it's fine"

she and her bf would regularly hang out with the guy who ran the only italian pizzeria in town and they would shit-talk our food for hours. mad respect.

"The Vast Atlantic Ocean" is πŸ˜™πŸ€Œ

What do you mean? That's just reality, isn't it?

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 4 points 1 hour ago

Cruel, heartless, totally deserved. Appropriate friendly banter.

No such thing as too much pepper

Meh, "proper cuisine" is definitely accurate since it's our national pride, but most of the others don't really feel like french stereotypes. "Soggy pastry" for Denmark even sounds suspiciously american, I've never heard anyone say that about this country in France and I don't even know what it's referring to

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 9 points 2 hours ago

Yeah as a Scandinavia living in france, all that part is totally off too.

The Meatball thing? Sounds amerikanish too, def not french.

I took a look at the website this is coming from, it seems to be mostly the blog author's interpretation of what the stereotypes are for each of their maps

Every frenchperson who came to serbia eats like they have never tasted food before. Dunno

The French admit that β€˜French fries’ are in fact Belgian? Sounds very un-French.

[–] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 hour ago

The term French Fries was most likely coined by American GIs, the French never had anything to do with that

[–] alex@jlai.lu 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah that's surprisingly one thing we all agree on

Chicken Tikka Masala was invented in the UK. I can't think of a single item of French cuisine I would choose over Chicken Tikka Masala.

I agree. But we don’t get recognised. I couldn’t be more amused.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

I'm amused too, I just felt the need to point that out.

It's ironic that they've missed out Ireland, throwing some great hunger shade.

What's "soggy pastry" talking about?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 27 minutes ago

I'm more concerned about the fact that they think Austrians subsist on the corpse of a queen.
