Uuuhh... the starvation bark bread? I think there was a reindeer meat pizza that one some award.

Whatever, our own one thing is a vaguely modified American dish, and comes from Quebec, so you're not alone.

They can’t even make wine as good as you can. They shouldn’t even think to criticize the food

A fillet of some kind.

Cake, maybe?

Cruel, heartless, totally deserved. Appropriate friendly banter.

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

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

I can’t think of a single item of French cuisine I would choose over Chicken Tikka Masala.

you're insulting yourself and CTM more than french cuisine there mate.

The best restaurants I've ever been to have been in London. But, then, they rarely serve "traditional" English food. Dollar for dollar, the food in London is better than the food in Paris.

Outside of London - sorry, I agree with the map. English cuisine has a few of things they do better than anyone else, but the meals have not impressed me. I can't speak for the rest of the UK; I haven't visited Scotland or Ireland, and only drove a few miles in Wales by accident.

However. I will fight anyone for a Cornish pasty. I don't know where they were invented, but like all great foods they're both delicious and made with, like, 6 ingredients.

My credentials include more than a single trip. I've had 4 vacations in France, and 2 years lived for 2 weeks every other month in Paris. I've had two vacations in England, and lived for 1-2 weeks every month in London, again for two years running. I have a great amount of experience with restaurants at all price ranges in both cities, and a reasonable exposure to cuisine outside of the capitals.

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

Thanks for mentioning, I didn't know about this. Just subbed!

Yeah, I was like: O no, the French dislike te British too much to even insult them? 😸

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest "Danish".

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

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

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.

Yeah that's surprisingly one thing we all agree on
