        It’s not so obvious to me, but there are plenty of people who unironically think and say this. French culinary techniques and dishes are genuinely lovely stuff, but so much of it (through imperialism) has just sort of insinuated itself into culinary traditions the world over.

      I’ve visited Paris once and all the food I had was mediocre at best. The restaurants I’ve visited don’t know how to cook a steak, it was always overcooked. We went to one fancy place that was okay but all the normal food was really disappointing. The bakeries were good though.

        Paris is shit. Everything about it is shit. It even smells like shit.

        Go to some little town or large village in the middle of nowhere and you’ll find really incredible boulangeries and fromageries. The people still kinda suck, but that’s just France.
