look I don’t have enough wifi to look up electoral results and french people won’t talk to me, but some of the meals I’ve had in alpine refuges this week have been the best meals I may have ever had
I am also so wine-drunk and so exhausted from being the fastest hiker I have encountered on the TMB. These may influence my opinions
Unacceptable Opinion
I could be wrong, but the French people I’ve met have been the most resistant to going vegan than any race I’ve even met. It’s like all the pigeon and frog and goose they’re eating causes them to be unable to eat tofu.
Can confirm, vegans are an ultra minority here.
One explanation that I find interesting is that all the people who have the right mindset to go vegan in the US do find animal products that are produced by actual farmers in France. In the US that’s impossible from what I know. So basically if you hate cruelty you can buy chicken at the local farmer so you know they had an ok life before slaughter.
I know that veganism has a definition of animal rights that go beyond “ethical farming” but veganism is also least present in the countries where people are actually confronted with animal death for consumption at an early age. The state of the USian food industry makes it so much more obvious to just cut animal products because they’re all produced so horribly
Americans worship the constitution, europeans worship their local cuisine. it’s dumb but everytime i talk about veganism to someone here they act like i’m talking about bombing their hometown

Yeah that’s pretty insane. And, tbh, I have my personal philosophical disagreements with anti-speciest morality, but politically, big support to vegans against reactionary carnists and for trying to save humanity from climate disaster
French food just makes me wish I was eating Latine food, leaving me totally unfulfilled.
I don’t like butter, meat, bread, or wine so that doesn’t leave me with much options in fr*nch “cuisine”
Lol yeah… I’m allergic to grapes, so I can’t eat at like any french restaurant
though frankly, I have enough allergies I generally don’t feel safe eating at any restaurant
I do like the bastardized french cooking I make for myself at home though, using rice wine, coconut cream, and vegan butter
i don’t like … bread
the lengths people will go to to have a contrarian take lmao
Death to America
It’s not hard to have good food when your definition of good is “I have covered this thing in a butter sauce”
