What’s “soggy pastry” talking about?
“The Vast Atlantic Ocean” is 😙🤌
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
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
Here it is for anyone curious: https://atlasofprejudice.com/
Their mostly tongue-in-cheek like this one.
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 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.
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.

you’re insulting yourself and CTM more than french cuisine there mate.
coq au vin.
croque madame.
pain aux chocolat.
you even picked a curry that isn’t even the best on the menu at INDIAN restaurants anyway. Lamb Rogan Josh, now that’s a heavy hitter.
I know it’s part of your transition period and are forced by law to continue the 100 year war on a culinary manner.
I’d say that the proper French culinary colonialist equivalent to the Tikka Massala is the Bahn Mi sandwhich and that feels like a proper match for it.
But now come up with a dish that doeesn’t take any inspiration from former colonies and I think most of them can be beaten by a simple onion soup
It’s ironic that they’ve missed out Ireland, throwing some great hunger shade.
