    He thought all cheese was as delicious as the Wisconsin cheddar he had during his semester abroad in Iowa.

      still blows my mind he just roomed with a random Iowan family and is still close with them

      like in a different reality this should allow some kind of common ground between our nations or some shit

          I’ve heard he sounds Morgan Freeman like

          damn that would be straight ASMR. no wonder has has such an iron grip upon the party or whatever western media says.

          he just soothes everyone under his control with his dulcet tones lol

    It’s a bit strange that the only food that I know to be French is baguette which is just a bread.

      Their pastries and cooking methods as s general rule are great. Not sure if they found the one bad chef in France or what.

          It’s not so obvious to me, but there are plenty of people who unironically think and say this. French culinary techniques and dishes are genuinely lovely stuff, but so much of it (through imperialism) has just sort of insinuated itself into culinary traditions the world over.

        I’ve visited Paris once and all the food I had was mediocre at best. The restaurants I’ve visited don’t know how to cook a steak, it was always overcooked. We went to one fancy place that was okay but all the normal food was really disappointing. The bakeries were good though.

          Paris is shit. Everything about it is shit. It even smells like shit.

          Go to some little town or large village in the middle of nowhere and you’ll find really incredible boulangeries and fromageries. The people still kinda suck, but that’s just France.

        Raclette, Fondue

        These could also be Swiss, but then again, Swiss people are just mountain French.

        There’s also southern french and occitan food, like boullabaise, ratatouille, or nicoise salad. French food is extremely regional.

      There’s this one drink my wife and I tried in Beijing that looks like a coffee but smells and tastes pretty much like raw sewage, they should give that to him.

      Oysters are just sea boogers. Unless they’re cooked, then they’re alright.

      They have them in Portugal as well, where they are called Caracois. Maybe the recipe is slightly different there, but I liked it.
