I have been addicted to southeast Asian food since I first started consistently eating it in college. Hard to pick between Vietnamese, Indonesian, and Filipino but they’re all delicious.

Not related to the struggle session, whoops. I guess France is like 1% responsible for some Vietnamese dishes.

French people have good food.

Hard disagree.

The French are not people.

Their food is pretty good though.

Counter struggle session: a lot of the best techniques of the French and their sauces have their origins in the kitchen of the feudal Italian peasant.

The French simply lifted it and added the bourgeois decadence of butter and edible flowers. There are some undeniably French things, and they came up with a lot of the vocabulary.

I have done no research to support this thesis but it is an opinion I hold strongly. It makes sense when you consider the trajectory of the Napoleonic era through Italy and I WILL willfully disregard any facts pointing to the contrary because of my biases that are mine and I’m allowed to have them.

All agreement and supporting Information is welcome I will not be responding to any questions from haters OR losers.

I think you’re actually eating Swiss cuisine…

Btw, doesn’t every culture at least have a broken clock, when it comes to good food?

No they really don’t, I don’t care what anyone says: unspiced food will never ever taste good.

Indian food is good food

Chinese food is good food

Burundi food is good food

Mena/Arab food is good food

Mexican food is good food

French, Italian, Spanish, German, etc, will never be good food unless you’re speaking exclusively about the region. The moment you take into account other people’s food, you realize that European food is the blandest of all cuisine.

Hell, they eat kebabs and shawarma for fuck’s sake even they don’t like their food.
