French cooking == English cooking with a sauce on it "Oh, I'm sick of doing Japanese stuff! In jail we had to be in this dumb kabuki play about the 47 Ronin, and I wanted to be Oshi, but they made me Ori!"
Vincent : And you know what they call a... a... a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris? Jules : They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with cheese? Vincent : No man, they got the metric system. They wouldn't know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is. Jules : Then what do they call it? Vincent : They call it a "Royale" with cheese. Jules : A "Royale" with cheese. What do they call a Big Mac? Vincent : Well, a Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it "le Big-Mac". Jules : "Le Big-Mac". Ha ha ha ha. What do they call a Whopper? Vincent : I dunno, I didn't go into Burger King. Yes, even I am blogging now!

Heaven: German engineering, French cooking and English literature. Hell: German literature, French engineering, and English cooking. :-D A friend told me this joke about 15 years ago and it popped into my brain this morning for some reason. (apologies to the usual offended parties) David
Before reading your post I was going to say that Hell[^] is near Trondheim in Norway and Heaven[^] is just across the Bay from San Francisco.

Oh that's right, I forgot about force-feeding ducks until their livers almost explode, keeping calves in tiny boxes until they're slaughtered, chopping the legs off living creatures (frogs) and of course the famous snails. Yummy :rolleyes: "Oh, I'm sick of doing Japanese stuff! In jail we had to be in this dumb kabuki play about the 47 Ronin, and I wanted to be Oshi, but they made me Ori!"

Hey, don't knock snails. They may be small, but not everyone has a good source of mussels.
You**'re one microscopic cog** in his catastrophic plan...I like snails, particularly the turbo ones in marine aquaria :) designed and directed by his red, right hand - top song by the way :) As for French food, they make nice bread but that's about it. I've always been disappointed whenever I've ventured into a French restaurant. In fact I remember one time, having had a starter, I decided I didn't want anything on the main menu and left the restaurant to go across the road for a pizza instead. I find just about any other nation's food preferable to French food, and the latter doesn't even come close to the fantastic flavours and variations avaiable in (say) Indian cuisine. No longer eating meat also puts one in a difficult position when eating in France. The French simply feel sorry for you :) "Oh, I'm sick of doing Japanese stuff!

I think Kafka was not german. He wrote in german, but if I remember correctly, he was from the Czech rep. ( I don't know the name of the country at his time)

Yeah and Jozef Teodor Konrad Korzeniowski was born in Poland but he's still a writer of English Literature as he wrote his books in English as Joseph Conrad. pseudonym67 My Articles[^] "They say there are strangers who threaten us, In our immigrants and infidels.

Just recently, I was in a hotel with a French menu and because I couldn't face yet another dish covered in mayo I asked them to do me egg and chips with bread, butter and ketchup. The kitchen was run by a French chef but despite this ( ;) ), the food was perfect, once I'd scraped all the hollandaise that they'd insisted on using, from the eggs!

Most of the time, the french cooking I've tasted outside our borders was a shame. I guess they use word "French restaurant" or "french bakery" to scam the consumers. I wouldn't want to generalize, maybe some are honest. If a day you come this side of the channel, I would suggest you to try a "farm inn" (ferme auberge), with natural products made in the farm, so much tastier than the crap sold elsewhere.
