    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.

    “Ice cube salad”?

    Our Finnish cuisine is so non-existent people can’t even make jokes about it.

      Uuuhh… the starvation bark bread? I think there was a reindeer meat pizza that one some award.

      Whatever, our own one thing is a vaguely modified American dish, and comes from Quebec, so you’re not alone.

    "inventors" is the best diss i’ve ever seen for modern swedish food

    i asked a friend from italy what she thought about our pizza and she basically said “as long as i don’t think of it as pizza it’s fine”

    she and her bf would regularly hang out with the guy who ran the only italian pizzeria in town and they would shit-talk our food for hours. mad respect.

      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.

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

    It’s ironic that they’ve missed out Ireland, throwing some great hunger shade.
