      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”)

      Lyon is BIS. It’s where all their best chefs come from historically. Also they take a really relaxed approach to dining and are aggressively unpretentious about it. Almost reactionary to Parisians.

      Lyon has what’s called bouchons which are the equivalent of pubs but imagine the French take on pub food. It still fits the bill, strategically designed to optimize booze consumption and sports watching, but French so it’s hella flavorful and rich. Fair warning Lyonnaise people get loud af in bouchons and red faced, hammered dudes will trip all over you. Love that city.

        Is because all the fancy stuff grows in the south and the only thing that grows in the north is tatoes

        Cause the north is comparatively freezing and to some extent is just trying to survive. The South thrives.

      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?

        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.
