      I was gonna say they miss the wine and fancy cheeses, but now that I think about it the wine selection is actually fairly solid, and you don’t get much fancier than Pule.

      It’s the European equivalent of extreme poverty. But by world standards, they’re doing just fine lol.

    “Marie Antoinette” is probably the strangest food on that map. I had no idea about French meat preferences.

    PS: I wonder where the Viennoiserie is from.

    Ha ha, that was pretty good. I feel like the Uk, scotland, and ireland, if not wales too, could be good puns even as the vast atlantic ocean is a good single pun.

      I think you confuse that with kåldolmar, which has that origin. Meatballs were quite a staple in most Northern European countries for centuries before any of that. Of course Sweden didn’t invent meatballs either, they just popularised them outside of Europe via Ikea.

      That’s why the map says meatball “inventors” instead of just meatball inventors

      The Franco-Ottoman alliance of 1536 stands strong

          They even dont recognise the potato as a seperate entity. They really just call them pomme de terre (ground apple) and job’s a goodun.

          Ah but they’re not potatoes there… They’re ground apples (that’s the translation in case you’ve no French). Doesn’t count. Big pharma got in on the naming after a campaign by doctors who didn’t like them.

          Talk to the English… They were very fond of taking potatoes for taxes in the 1800s (historically accurate truth is that the Irish grew other crops to pay the taxes and used potatoes for their own subsistence but it was an obvious dig that I had to get in for the giggles).

    Soggy pastry? I’m a Dane, and I have absolutely no clue, what that’s supposed to refer to?

    French food is under spiced.

    Like lots of useful techniques, don’t get me wrong, but, no. The culinary tradition is limited in regards to scope of ingredients and flavor profiles.

    At least the Germans are humble enough to eagerly adopt new spices and seasonings.

    Edit: croissants are from Austria

      What? That goes against my ~10 years of living in Germany. They hate anything not traditional, and their traditional food is absolutely fucking disgusting.

      Maybe you’re confused because of the many immigrant-held places? I’ve never had a good döner from a place managed by a white German, but good kebab places in Germany are infinitely better than fast food in France

        The fact that kebab places are so prevalent in Germany shows the average German is quite open to foreign foods. Even “traditional” German foods get spins from foreign foods, like curry wurst. I’ve also seen quite a few inspired takes on flammekueche using foreign inspirations.

    France as proper cuisine? I have to disagree… The best cuisine is the one i grew up eating!

    BTW, Marie Antoinette ?!
