Marie Antoinette?
What cuisine should that be?

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 4 minutes ago

More like according an American person who identifies as French.

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 1 points 6 minutes ago

"Ice cube salad"?

Our Finnish cuisine is non-existent people can't even make jokes about it.

I think this belongs more in !cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee

But I chuckled so thanks for sharing

"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 😙🤌

[–] smeg@feddit.uk 8 points 4 hours ago

Cruel, heartless, totally deserved. Appropriate friendly banter.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] Ethalis@jlai.lu 20 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

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 13 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] felykiosa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 46 minutes ago

The meatball thing came from Ikea 100%

[–] inlandempire@jlai.lu 3 points 4 hours ago

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

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.

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

I love your pubs and have found the food enjoyable in my limited experience. I will say I don't understand Kickey Ball were the guys run around and never kick the ball into the Giant barn door sized goal... But it's vastly superior to the American version which leads to irreversible brain damage.

No such thing as too much pepper

[–] MayonnaiseArch@beehaw.org 2 points 3 hours ago

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

[–] Vrijgezelopkamers@lemmy.world 4 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

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

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

I don't. I don't necessarily think they're French either tho, but France, Spain and Chile each have a better claim to it than Belgium.

[–] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] pntha@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

pomme frites??

[–] alex@jlai.lu 1 points 3 hours ago

Yeah that's surprisingly one thing we all agree on

[–] shiny_idea@aussie.zone 8 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

What's "soggy pastry" talking about?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

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

[–] andresil@lemm.ee 6 points 4 hours ago

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