America had just bad eyesight or the belgian flag was already faded. So black became more blueish and yellow became white.

Then the French play the Uno reverse card and invent "Le sandwich américain"

To be fair, I just looked that up and it does seem like something we would come up with...

That just looks like the French took a cheeseburger and fries meal, stuffed the fries inside the burger, then replaced the bread with their own to make it slightly more french.

Yeah that’s correct, but now you can find plenty of different recipes with local flavors like here in southwest France

The frites seem to be non-negotiable.

It puts the frites on the sammy, or else it gets the French body-slammy

Frites frites frites frites because we are tired of always saying baguette baguette baguette.

Missing the Honolulu with salad, tomatoes, frites, and spam, and the Tokyo with salad, tomatoes, frites, tofu, and spam, and the Guam with salad, tomatoes, frites, spam, eggs, and spam, and the Belfast with salad, tomatoes, frites, kippers, spam, and spam, and the Helsinki with salad, tomatoes, frites, spam, licorice, spam, hakarl, and spam, and the Mumbai with salad, tomatoes, frites, sultana korma with green cardamom sauce on slow-roasted cashews, and spam.

I mean, it's basically a cheeseburger with an accent, hard to go wrong there. It looks delicious.

Actually...my nation made it. Every popular food item you can think of actually.

Then I spread them around your planet and had my agents whisper in people's ears to say things about them all.

Finally, an explanation for the universality of Swedish meatballs.

I really don't understand why Belgium is so upset about this. They're literally fried potatoes. Choose something else.

[–] kattenluik@feddit.nl 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know why you think the entire country of Belgium has anything to do with this and it's not just a joke to laugh about language in the US.

The real question is "why do every other country calls this infamous sweet sauce 'French Mustard'?" It's a disgrace to french gastronomy.
