Any country's food is good if prepared correctly

French cuisine is a very complicated way of chugging a whole carton of heavy cream. Sure, it tastes pretty good, but: why?

I could be wrong, but the French people I've met have been the most resistant to going vegan than any race I've even met. It's like all the pigeon and frog and goose they're eating causes them to be unable to eat tofu.

Italian food is 10x better.

Honestly in terms of everything I'd argue Italy is better than France. Prettier country, better food, better wine, more interesting history and culture. Idk why people jerk off France so much when Italy is right there, I'd travel to Italy over France any day.

Out of like classic western foods it’s pretty good, lots of focus on fresh bread, wine, and cream. Personally I think it’s pretty overrated but I think a lot of westerners with underdeveloped palates are happy to land on the sort of rich and creamy bases that a lot of French food has. I do think that it really has created a concept of high-class dining that seems to preclude the use of animal product (I love cooking and it wasn’t until I start cooking more Indian and Asian food that I realized that a lot of my ideas of incorporating meat and animal product into my diet was simply due to this).

French people have good food.

Hard disagree.

The French are not people.

Their food is pretty good though.

tbf outside of cajun or indigenous meals - most american food is ass and the quality of ingredients is even worse.

It really is amazing how much they managed to accomplish with flour, milk, and the occasional egg.

It makes me wonder what could be accomplished if chefs spent 300 years making the fanciest food possible out of, like, some seed or nut or tuber.

France tried making a metric system for food quality. This made french cuisine synonymous with quality and paved the way for an inevitable backlash.

What is the TMB?

French food slaps. Shame it's overly pretentious a lot of times

Italian food is the most overrated shit ever. America needs to convert all its Italian restaurants into French ones tbh

Unacceptable Opinion

Putting butter on everything doesn't count as real food.

It's not hard to have good food when your definition of good is "I have covered this thing in a butter sauce"

how can thwre be a struggle about this, french food is delicious, especially the pastries and bread. i'm no francophile but this feels like a one-sided argument

Death to America

French food just makes me wish I was eating Latine food, leaving me totally unfulfilled.

I like the big bread stick

French people have good food, but the whole palette of Chinese cuisine is far more diverse imo, very much not afraid of a char and a skewer. French food is interesting because of how much a single item and it's products are used in any given dish, but overall flavor profile is not acidic enough imo.

I don't like butter, meat, bread, or wine so that doesn't leave me with much options in fr*nch "cuisine"

French food is true Fatboy Food. It's like the yank who salivates over a triple bacon burger knew what herbs were.

Its for sure better than anything else in northern Europe but thats not saying much.

I think you're actually eating Swiss cuisine...

Btw, doesn't every culture at least have a broken clock, when it comes to good food?
