So many anons in the Seine…
Paris has pretty good food but it’s below average for France, the south is where it’s at.
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.
heard
I have heard the south has the best weed in france too
you’re not thinking! you’re on drugs!
Why do southern places have better food while northern ones gorge on tatoes.
Is because all the fancy stuff grows in the south and the only thing that grows in the north is tatoes
Honestly I think tatoes are an actual eldritch tuber.
Cause the north is comparatively freezing and to some extent is just trying to survive. The South thrives.
I’ll have the poo let goo jon
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”)
Gobio gobio thrives on gravel or sandy ground so it shouldn’t have a muddy taste. I like those types of bottom-dwellers the most.
Occasionally ate whitebait and while it was no problem with fry, mine were herring I believe, I was hesitant about chewing on the skull and spine of a fingerling over 50mm.
Do they still Crack on bite or is it more comparable to the chewy texture of fry?
I’ll be honest, it’s been years since I’ve enjoyed a friture so I’m not positive the ones I had were specifically goujons or what. But the texture is divine, like nice chips and pretty much the same size, with a nice butter / lemon sauce. Dammit now I miss it!
So sophisticated
We are all so stupid in comparison
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?
French onion soup is fucking amazing! Fried chicken is overrated. Good, but overrated.
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.
onion soup is real fuckin good though
