Paris has pretty good food but it’s below average for France, the south is where it’s at.
Why do southern places have better food while northern ones gorge on tatoes.
Is because all the fancy stuff grows in the south and the only thing that grows in the north is tatoes
Honestly I think tatoes are an actual eldritch tuber.
Cause the north is comparatively freezing and to some extent is just trying to survive. The South thrives.
I have heard the south has the best weed in france too
you’re not thinking! you’re on drugs!
I could go for some French tendies now.
My tendies are ready for you
So sophisticated
We are all so stupid in comparison
Who the fuck passes an escargot or some fucking bread over their tongue, when it could be fried chicken in a lovely sauce? I mean honestly, would you rather have soup made from onions, or would you prefer what is clearly one of humanity’s favourite treats?
onion soup is real fuckin good though
Eh, I’m not a fan of either. In fact, French food is pretty far down my list of preferred cuisines, and I’m pretty “meh” about most fried chicken.
That said, S. Korean fried chicken is absolutely bomb.
French onion soup is fucking amazing! Fried chicken is overrated. Good, but overrated.

I’ll have the poo let goo jon
I still have no idea where they got that “goujon” shit from. I only learnt the word in my twenties when I lived in Ireland.
In French, it’s the name of a tiny fish which you can eat (by the dozen) fried and it’s fantastic.The chicken one, we just call aiguillette (“needlet”)
Gobio gobio thrives on gravel or sandy ground so it shouldn’t have a muddy taste. I like those types of bottom-dwellers the most.
Occasionally ate whitebait and while it was no problem with fry, mine were herring I believe, I was hesitant about chewing on the skull and spine of a fingerling over 50mm.
Do they still Crack on bite or is it more comparable to the chewy texture of fry?
I’ll be honest, it’s been years since I’ve enjoyed a friture so I’m not positive the ones I had were specifically goujons or what. But the texture is divine, like nice chips and pretty much the same size, with a nice butter / lemon sauce. Dammit now I miss it!
And I want to try those fishy crunch-sticks now! Thank you for the idea!
I actually now a place where I caught goujons a lot. They “ruined” the whole day of fishing because it was the only thing we could catch.
It’s time to give that spot another visit and bring my camping-stove.
So many anons in the Seine…
medium freedom fries plz
Lol best cuisine, you say?
Italians have entered the chat
To me it’s telling that among all of the restaurants in my city, the only French restaurants are outrageously fancy ones.
(Not counting patisseries)
I’m sure home cooking in France is fine, but because of the mix of cultures in Melbourne, I guess I just have never understood what the fuss about French food is.
Clearly it’s not winning any hearts here because I never seen any restaurants that normal people go to.
Or I am just biased against fancy food in general.
But Italian food? Yeah, everywhere.
I’ll have the milk steak boiled over real hard
“best cuisine”
I don’t doubt they say that because they’re insufferable but that’s ridiculous especially for a country that colonized several countries with objectively better cuisine.
I mean, that’s the best side effect of their colonization. They brought Escoffier’s technique to other regional cuisine.
Can you even imagine Vietnamese food without the heavy French influence?
Mmm, Goujons
The sauce would be more of a coulis
