Hey now, I pound down American-sized portions of delicious French food on the reg. Truly one of the great pleasures in life. In unrelated news, I'm fat.

actual answer: the best meals i had in paris weren't what you'd consider classic french dishes, it was almost all nouvelle cuisine. but there's little better than a nice fois gras seared and lightly seasoned with some white wine

Thank God for immigration!

Thats where you go to never feel uncomfortable

Look I can tolerate terrible political opinions but hot drat are there some bad food opinions here. German food is actually great, sorry about your taste buds: 1.) Everything with Spatzle in it - owns. 2.) Sausage? Beer? Cheese? 3.) Sick-rear end bread rolls and pastries. 4.) DONER KEBABS? Get the gently caress out of here

german food is not super great though, overall. if there's one thing we do well, it's the combination of savory and sweet. but a lot of it is just poor farmer's food, like 97 ways of cooking cabbage. vvv yeah the beer is good. vvv botany fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Jan 12, 2018 |

Heaps of Sheeps posted:Look I can tolerate terrible political opinions but hot drat are there some bad food opinions here. Döner is indeed good, but we owe that entirely to Turkish immigrants and I don't count it as genuinely German cuisine. You are correct that German bread and cheese are much better than US bread and cheese, but that is because the US has terrible bread and cheese. steinrokkan posted:As a rule of thumb goons rate food based on how much of it they can shove down their gullets in as little time as possible, so disliking French food comes as no surprise.

I went to Minnesota once and they tried to convince me German food was sausage, cabbage, and a beer in a glass shaped like a boot. We thought we could handle a boot. It's very big for two people over dinner. Sauage was good though.

The fool is a simpleton, a court jester who is allowed to tell the truth precisely because the 'performative power' (the sociopolitical efficiency) of his speech is suspended; the knave is the cynic who openly states the truth, a crook who tries to sell the open admission of his crookedness as honesty, a scoundrel who admit the need for illegitimate repression in order to maintain social stability. Following the fall of Socialism, the knave is a neo-conservative advocate of the free market, who cruelly rejects all forms of social solidarity as counterproductive sentimentalism; while the fool is a multiculturalist 'radical' social critic who, by means of his ludic procedures destined to 'subvert' the existing order, actually serves as its supplement. Which are you?
