βThe Vast Atlantic Oceanβ is ππ€
Meh, βproper cuisineβ is definitely accurate since itβs our national pride, but most of the others donβt really feel like french stereotypes. βSoggy pastryβ for Denmark even sounds suspiciously american, Iβve never heard anyone say that about this country in France and I donβt even know what itβs 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 authorβs 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.
I think this belongs more in !cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee
But I chuckled so thanks for sharing
Chicken Tikka Masala was invented in the UK. I canβt 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 donβt understand Kickey Ball were the guys run around and never kick the ball into the Giant barn door sized goalβ¦ But itβs vastly superior to the American version which leads to irreversible brain damage.
I know itβs part of your transition period and are forced by law to continue the 100 year war on a culinary manner.
Iβd 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 doeesnβt take any inspiration from former colonies and I think most of them can be beaten by a simple onion soup

youβre insulting yourself and CTM more than french cuisine there mate.
coq au vin.
croque madame.
pain aux chocolat.
you even picked a curry that isnβt even the best on the menu at INDIAN restaurants anyway. Lamb Rogan Josh, now thatβs a heavy hitter.
The best restaurants Iβve ever been to have been in London. But, then, they rarely serve βtraditionalβ 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 canβt speak for the rest of the UK; I havenβt visited Scotland or Ireland, and only drove a few miles in Wales by accident.
However. I will fight anyone for a Cornish pasty. I donβt know where they were invented, but like all great foods theyβre both delicious and made with, like, 6 ingredients.
My credentials include more than a single trip. Iβve had 4 vacations in France, and 2 years lived for 2 weeks every other month in Paris. Iβve 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.
"inventors" is the best diss iβve ever seen for modern swedish food
i asked a friend from italy what she thought about our pizza and she basically said βas long as i donβt think of it as pizza itβs fineβ
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.
