    LOL, that’s funny. As an italian, I regret not having tried real french cuisine yet.

    “Ice cube salad”?

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

    "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.

    Meh, “proper cuisine” is definitely accurate since it’s our national pride, but most of the others don’t really feel like french stereotypes. “Soggy pastry” for Denmark even sounds suspiciously american, I’ve never heard anyone say that about this country in France and I don’t even know what it’s referring to

      The Meatball thing? Sounds amerikanish too, def not french.

      I took a look at the website this is coming from, it seems to be mostly the blog author’s interpretation of what the stereotypes are for each of their maps

    Chicken Tikka Masala was invented in the UK. I can’t think of a single item of French cuisine I would choose over Chicken Tikka Masala.

        I’m amused too, I just felt the need to point that out.

          I love your pubs and have found the food enjoyable in my limited experience. I will say I don’t understand Kickey Ball were the guys run around and never kick the ball into the Giant barn door sized goal… But it’s vastly superior to the American version which leads to irreversible brain damage.

    The French admit that ‘French fries’ are in fact Belgian? Sounds very un-French.

      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

      I’m more concerned about the fact that they think Austrians subsist on the corpse of a queen.
