I may sound like a pleb, but why is French cuisine so highly revered in the world? I can't remember the last time I've eaten a French dish, most of it seems to be pretentious haute cuisine that is very distant from the tastes of the common people. When I think of French cuisine only meme dishes like frogs, snails or foie gras come to my mind (those actually taste alright but I don't find them overwhelming)
Just watch one of those meme cooking shows, half of the terms they use are in french

>foie gras
>taste alright but I don't find them overwhelming

>>62216439

>foie gras
>taste alright but I don't find them overwhelming
delet now
>>62216439
I eat french dish almost everyday
>>62216439
Are there places that have French restaurants?
Here we have Italians restaurants, Greek ones, some German ones, even British ones (they are called garbage-cans here, and are used specifically for throwing trash in).
But I have never heard of a French restaurant.
For having such a big reputation for food, they sure can't fucking compete with anyone else.
>>62216439
French cuisine is shit. I choose a nice goulash or stuffed pepper over some disgusting shit they manage to cook up.
Central European cuisine is far more superior 2bh fampai.
>>62216439
Most of their main courses tend to be fairly so-so, couple I really like and tried cooking.
The pastry and deserts though are really exceptional
>>62216439
Shell food are tasty dude.
It's yummy, sweet, little spice with little salt.
And we use toothpick to eat it.
>>62216439
let's be honest though, French food is simply of better quality than everything else
Take cheap poor man's food for example. In Clapistan, they have burgers (disgusting). In Britbongistan, they have porridge (disgusting). In Funland, they have mämmi (disgusting). In pretty much every Asian country, they have rice and/or noodles (plain and boring). But in France, do you know what their version of "cheap poor man's food" is? Fucking onion soup, an eloquant and delicious dish which would probably pass as haute cuisine in almost every other country, but in France it's pleb food.
They just do food much better than everybody else.
>>62216795
It seems you skipped Italy in your detailed review, for some reasons.
>replying to a fucking leaf
my bad
>>62216686
Central European cuisine is quite good for simple stuff but it lacks further meals.
For example, if I were having an entree, then something like goulash would be quite good. The problem is that the main meal after the entree would be severely underwhelming if I had something from Central European cuisine.
>>62216795
Not to mention food just plainly tatses better there. French bread tastes better than bread here. Most ingredients you can get in any Latin country in Europe will be of higher quality than it's counterpart in Canada and USA at least.
Me and my bud once bought a cut of meat for a roast in London. We prepared it just like we would've prepared it in Canada for France (he's both)
It was simply unedible Meat was tough like rubber and tastless. We had to throw it out.
>>62216795
lol French men are sustained by plant bulbs--no wonder Muslims have such an easy time killing them.
Beefy burgers are the true anti-lorry-patrician's choice for building a lorry-proof frame.
>>62216439
Confirmed to have eaten aldi supermarket foie gras

Here we go. The Viet Cong arrived to defend eating rodents, molluscs and insects.

Italy is specifically the reason I said "almost every other country", my friend
there's a French bakery here and the bread is the best I've ever tried, I have no idea what they do to it, but it's so soft and tasty.

>underwhelming
Because it doesn't have a separated slab of meat and doesn't comply to your retarded sense of presentation and decoration?
>>62216929
To be honest, my uncle say coconut rat taste very good (and they extinct).
We not eat snail that big, only small one, except for sea shell.
Insect only found eating in Indegenous people place.
But yeah their food taste good or just when their food come to Vietnam we make it taste good.
Pic related.
because you don't know shit, that's why

lel, I love how the British butthurt is so inevitable in any gastronomy thread
>>62216439
Im a chef and I can answer that
Its because the French invented modern culinary.The french cuisine is the god father of of what we now call restaurants.They invented the ''repertoire'' which is like the dictionary of fine dining.
Its not because its the best cuisine in the world(I like italian better) but its the most respected.

"National cuisines" are a meme. All food is just meat, diary and veggies. It's all the same shit, more or less.
>>62217640
You could never be American with that attitude

Haute cuisine taste good to be honest. It's food to be eaten as you go to opera. It's not supposed to be a Kebab that fill you out while being tasty. It's suppose to make you experience something you've never experienced before. That said, Haute cuisine is something from the past and current chef are taking a lot of inspiration from pleb food.
Also, French chef were (and still are) the most innovative. But some countries are coming closer and closer.
>>62217191
This.
France is restaurants
France is cuisine
What we have today for Chefs or eating out just doesn't exist without France, no one has had this much influence over cooking.
Also the food is pretty good.

>>62217130
>a fatty sausage in a bucket full of cheese
Wouldn't order
No idea.
When I'm in Germany I have great food.
When I'm in Austria I get great food.
When I'm in Italy I get fantastic food.
Then I arrive in France and get shit I barely get down my throat.
>>62219949
It's not cheese but mashed potatoes.
>>62219959
The only good things that came from france are dinner sauces and cheeses.
They don't deserve their reputation for good food. Every country in the world except UK, Cuba, and Germany has better cuisine.
French culinary method is pretty based. I'm sure they have new and innovative foods in the cities. Their traditional cuisine is pretty fucking comfy. I don't get the hate.

How would you know?
Dutch never eat out, they're the only tourists to bring their own food.
>>62220224
Correction: Dutch people bring their own food when they go to France.
>>62220224
Dutch and French cooking methods are opposites of each other.
>French cook: throws in entire carrots and potatoes into the pan
>doesn't remove the bone from the lamb
>eats the liver and intestines
>Dutch cook: mash the carrots and potatoes togheter
>remove the bone
>throw the liver and intestines away because it's inedible
>>62220040
Any country that France touches makes amazing food though. So they're still awesome by association.
>>62220266
Yes, and you're the only tourists to do that.
I once saw a Dutch family in a gastronomic restaurant, they ordered fries and a latte.
>>62220403
>I once saw a Dutch family in a gastronomic restaurant, they ordered fries and a latte.
>>62220387
Food here is pretty good.
What's west Africa, Haiti, Guyana, Quebec like?
>>62220403
Good lord, I would've at least asked for a burger
>>62220351
Another one:
>in france meat is the main element of the dish
>meat with potatoes is a perfectly acceptable
>in the Netherlands vegetables for the main portion of the dish
>potatoes are not considered vegetables, so meat + potatoes is considered an incomplete meal
>>62220015
ah, just looked it up, apparently it's mashed potates + cheese... Sounds good, but I don't think I'd like it together with the sausage

Pershing was a stubborn general, he didnt want to listen to the orders of Foch who was the supreme allied commander at the end of the war, causing unnecessary deaths and slowed the offensive down.

I've never seen a place explicitly labelled as French, but lots of Fancy restaurants have French names. It's not like there's much explicitly -unique- to French cuisine that you can't find in other countries, the meme is that they do it well.

What? It's just a countryball comic
So /int/ what are some normal, non-holiday meals that your families would eat on a normal weekly rotation? What is the real cuisine of your country?
Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, peas, carrots
Steak, broccoli, corn, buttered bread
Spaghetti and meatballs, garlic bread
Fried pork chops, mashed potatoes, broccoli
Rotisserie chicken, potato salad, macaroni and cheese
