Health authorities in the northern region of Normandy have recorded the presence of tiger mosquitoes – an invasive species that is now ubiquitous in mainland France. The biting insects, native to Asia,…
Let’s be real about what? You have Italian restaurants around you selling you pasta with sauce for 5 times the price it takes you to do the same at home in 30 minutes and you think the Spanish can’t do that?
The thing about french cuisine is that it’s so widely adopted that most of the stuff that you eat that uses their techniques is just called “food”.
As for regional food… That’s just personal preference, ofc.
By far. French food is the most overrated thing I’ve come across. It’s so bad I feel like it must be a joke everyone is in on.
But I like France anyway
About 50% of those are shared by the three countries, they have the same culture of caring about production quality and origin. French does have more history and attention given to haute cuisine.
I guarantee the people downvoting you are the same numb nuts that refuse to use /s.
To clarify the joke for people, it’s not about any legitimate hatred of France, it’s the same type of banter you’d use when talking about a rival sports team.
The English and Scots hate eachother and make jokes at eachothers expense all the time, but in reality it’s actually much more like a friendly rivalry between brothers.
Maybe Americans don’t get it because they don’t really have any friendly rivals, just people that legit hate them /s
If the topic is important enough to warrant this level of concern, then the use of sarcasm is necessarily contraindicated. If it isn’t, /s isn’t going to save folks who are unwilling to take even a few seconds to engage their brain; it’s actually a great filter. In the case of humorous sarcasm, nothing kills the joke faster or more completely than announcing, “dw guys, this cute bit of edginess was not meant sincerely, it’s just a joke!”.
And a bit of implicit ad hominem for you: do you know where Poe’s law originated?
Another reason to stay the hell away from fr*nce
Edit: every time I think people are smart enough to get a joke I get proven wrong
What other reasons are there?
Xenophobia, I assume? Wine allergy? Grudge against decent food?
Spanish & Italian food is better for the most part imo.
Obviously Xenophobia isn’t excusable.
Ok, ok, Italy has a claim, but Spain? Let’s be real here.

Tapas are a delight and you know it.
It’s just smaller food in greater variety!
Exactly. And how delightful that variety is!
I can’t argue with you. I love tapas.
If there is a heaven, patatas bravas is what I will eat there

Fair dues, different strokes and all that.

French people are reason #1
It’s just a joke.
Yeah I thought the censoring of France was a dead giveaway

/s is fucking obnoxious.
I’m sorry /s triggers you so much, but this thread is just one of countless that prove it is needed.
You type the most extreme, obviously sarcastic statement possible and I’ll find you some people who read it literally and respond to it seriously.
Poe’s law is an adage of Internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author’s intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views
I really brought this on myself since this was the comment I made before this shitshow.
