What's "soggy pastry" talking about?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago

I'm more concerned about the fact that they think Austrians subsist on the corpse of a queen.

The French admit that ‘French fries’ are in fact Belgian? Sounds very un-French.

[–] EmoDuck@sh.itjust.works 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

The term French Fries was most likely coined by American GIs, the French never had anything to do with that

pomme frites??

[–] loaExMachina@sh.itjust.works 1 points 19 hours ago

I don't. I don't necessarily think they're French either tho, but France, Spain and Chile each have a better claim to it than Belgium.

Yeah that's surprisingly one thing we all agree on

Were the French always a bunch of pretentious elitist pricks or did that only start after some specific event?

Their food is good but it certainly isn't significantly better than many other places.

They still smoke like chimneys.

They are still pretty misogynistic.

They make terrible cars and pretty much all their manufacturing may as well have their quality control run by Helen Keller.

Their "world famous" city smells like piss and is a filthy mess (unless they decide to clean it up for something like the Olympics).

Their police are notorious for abusing their power and attempting to silence reporters or the media.
