I've recently come to realize how true this is. It's such a scam industry. There's no reason to not just get a 3l Black Box for $18.

Nice bait we all know that french food is the worst in the world with the exception of German. Case in point there are no french restaurants and the only thing they are known for is snails and fried potatoes and surrendering

Too bad your bread and pastries are shit.

Before visiting Europe, I would have agreed with you 100%, but the €1 or €2 wines there blow the $10-20 wines here out of the water.

And honestly, Black or Bota Box are better than most wines for the same price.

>>11820121
He's right, the only thing the french are best at is faggotry

>>11820146
So you do agree with him 100%

>>11820016
This. France is basically "it's good because it's unusual and expensive, don't worry that it tastes bad - you just can't appreciate good cooking, and you're probably poor!". Based on my experiences, Italians are leagues better at making cheese and meats especially, perhaps because they actually use seasonings and spices unlike Frenchies. It's like they looked at what Italian and German cuisine did well and turned it upside down, all while looking at the nearest pond like "hmmm, frogs and snails must taste good".

>>11819975

>>11820146
wine isn't even that good in general

>>11820211
The French know how to cook everything perfectly to bring out the best taste of that item, instead of changing it with spices, though they do use a lot of herbs, herbs work in harmony with the flavor if the dish instead of masking it, as spices do.

>>11820847
That's mainly due to pop density in SF. Los Angeles skid row looks 10x worse than the France pic

>>11820859
Hmm, maybe its not a coincidence that the most leftist state's policies of subsidizing homelessness have actually increased the problem rather than help it just like in France?

You don't see that shit in normal America

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_homeless_population

Frances homeless population % is higher than the USA probably five to twenty five times as high because of the millions and millions of Africans and jihadis that macron and his pals have impoeted since these figures were updated

>>11820947
That's embarrassing

>>11820216
Korean food is literally the worst cuisine on the fucking planet, you absolute mong

>>11820955
It's going to get worse France is replacing it's population from countries with homeless rates of up to 50% of the population

>>11820947
Yeah, its surely not because of leftist policies designed to make homeless people feel better which only end up encouraging more of them to be created

>>11820986
What the fuck are you talking about

>>11821006
Places like France and California enact legislation intended to be "compassionate" to homeless people, but instead of helping people remove themselves from poverty and homelessness they only make such conditions more comfortable to the point where people are discouraged from bettering their condition

Its basically just subsidizing homelessness, its counter productive but sounds nice so that all that matters to the people who vote for it

>>11819979

The issue there is that a lot of homeless people are simply mentally unfit to do anything anymore. It's not a coddling effect, it's a lack of mental health support in the western world. On top of that, getting out of being homeless is insanely difficult even for people who arent borderline retarded.
There is no simple left right solution to this complex problem.

>>11821028
When things get so bad that you're homeless, you're generally at the point of no return. There's no sense of incentive to get out of the situation. Just like obese people lose hope of ever getting back to a healthy weight so they just get fatter.

Far from discouraging people from bettering their condition, giving them some sort of living standard halts their mental degradation and makes them less likely to reach that point of absolute despair.

>>11821050
all I am saying is the "compassionate" progressive response has pretty obviously failed creating homeless problems that are worse in the most liberal of places than in places that don't try as hard to be so "nice" to them with legislation. Often times doing nothing is in fact better than trying to be nice

>>11821006
Are you retarded, read it again

>>11821062
He's saying homeless people are homeless because of lack of mental health care.

You're saying people are choosing to become homeless because the laws make it more pleasant to be homeless.

All I'm saying is, holy shit you're retarded

There are a lot of possible reasons. Mental healthcare is just one.
Then there's
>skyrocketing rents
>lack of jobs for unskilled labor
>substance abuse
>runaways
>gay teens kicked out by parents
>actual bums

>>11821105
So why is homelessness so much more of a problem in places like California and France. Do they just have more mentally ill people because of genetics or something? That seems unlikely

I am not at all saying mental health is not at the root of actually curing homelessness, I am saying most progressive politician's attempts to fight homelessness are just designed to sound compassionate and are counter productive leading to large homeless problems in the places that adopt them most aggressively. When you make being homeless more comfortable or less stigmatized instead of fighting the real root of the problem you are hurting people more than helping them. This is a constant problem in modern progressivism where they end up subsidizing a problem, making it more prevalent instead of addressing the root, or just leaving it alone

>>11821123
thats not really like what you will see in California. Having a small concentrated area of tents is not comparable to the ever present homeless scum littering all of the streets in California

People choose to be homeless because it's a better standard of living than working. Big cities provide over $100,000 in aid to each homeless plus they are like blacks exempt from most laws so they can rob or shit wherever or smoke meth in city hall. Your compassion is killing people you brainwashed government school retard

Wow you're really coping hard over there aren't you.

/trv/estite here. I've spent a lot of time with French people in the last few years. They're among the worst I've ever come across if not the worst.

They're all jerks. The men are full of themselves while actually being really shitty people. I almost admire their confidence because they think of themselves as kings when in fact they're barely above being bums. I had this image of France being a country that produces a lot of intelligent people but it's almost the opposite, I found most of them almost rejecting academia. It was very weird.

The women have this aura around them, like they're trying to be cool but are just trashy. They're not attractive, so I guess they have to just be slutty to put out and they do that well.

The traditional French food is on point though. Cheese and pastries are the best I've had.

Ehhh i think youd be suprised what a full grown person being a burden can cost. Policing, cleanup, food, shelter and medical expenses. 100k doesnt sound outlandish to me at all.

>>11821503
That's one of the right's solution. When pretending they don't exist fails, have their jackbooted thugs shoot them down like they do blacks. But first they'll try to subsidize their privatized corporate for profit prison buttbuddies to build more prisons and lock them up. More rightwing campaign contributions while spending even more taxpayer money than it would cost for mental health treatment and jobs training programs. But the latter is compasionate and empathetic and the right are evangelical christians so that's a non-starter. Ignore the issue, prison or execution, the christian way.

>>11821169
You are so fucking delusional holy shit. You seriously think people enjoy being homeless?

>>11821234
Okay have no access to a shower or enough money for a haircut or enough money to even wash your clothes and then go get a job. Dont forget you're probably walking everywhere and have limited access to computers since a lot of places refuse to let the homeless in

>>11821555

I think homeless people should be sent away. Away from drugs and alcohol and once they sober up, get taught some life skills, then given another chance. End up homeless again? Get sent back.

Im sick seeing of full grown pathetic ass pieces of shit forcing their kids to stand on a corner with them begging.

Society has failed, but blame the culture the left has created. Sesame Street now has a homeless puppet on the show to help de-stigmatize homelessness. Thats the exact opposite of what needs to happen.

Also, I think that pineapple belongs on pizza, just to try and keep this ck related.

>>11821569
Why do you think this is solely to blame on the left? Extreme poverty is most prevalent in traditionally red states

>>11821585
Kind of, but thats more a legacy of slavery in the south.

Homelessness in general is a somewhat related but different problem, and it is much more prevalent in currently progressive states

>>11821555
France is secular. Their “compassion” is why there’s thousands of homeless drug addicts pissing in the streets to begin with.

>>11821589

>>11819975

>>11823469
Yes indeed.

Now this one isn't necessarily easily found in your average supermarket, but it's easy to make and definitely worth it. Dry cured duck breast. Idiots remove the fat; don't be an idiot.

Can't talk about french food without mentioning this. It's apparently illegal in some parts of the US because helping a duck or a goose along with doing something they'd be doing on their own anyway is animal cruelty whereas keeping mutant chickens stewing in their own feces in little cages somehow isn't. Anyway. This is hard to describe if you've never had it. It's like the smoothest richest paté you've ever had. Call it duck butter.

This is one of my favorites. If it looks familiar it's because it should be. Everyone knows about black pudding by now because of the countless bongfood threads. The main difference is in the use of filler, or lack thereof. British people put oats in their blood sausage, for Spanish and Portuguese people it's rice. For the French it's only pig blood, onions and spices. The end result is very creamy, you could spread on baguette (you should)

>>11824065
>that coarse-ass texture and fat pocketing on the torchon
Poorly done m8, not rolled tight enough and/or not wrapped in a second layer after poaching. The place I work did torchon dishes a few times and one guy got absolutely ripped to shreds because his turned out looking like that.

Don't get me wrong, it's still fucking delicious, just wasn't up to the level they wanted. Pic related is more what they expected from us.

>>11822165
>spicy food

>>11824039
Cured duck breast is so great and honestly one of the easiest cured products to make.

>>11824086
Yours does look much better, I'm just getting images on google.

This one isn't actually French, it's from the french speaking portion of Switzerland. I'm just including it because it's one of my favorite cheeses by far and everyone should get some. You don't need the girolle to enjoy the cheese although you should still aim for very thin slices. Also the girolle is just fun, so if you like the cheese, consider investing in one.

>>11824116
I'm not trying to be a dick about it or anything either, I'd eat a foie torchon no matter what it looks like, it's just one of those things that triggers my kitchen autism now, like people trying to cook with a disastrously messy station, or unfolded rags. Oh, unfolded rags, it's like nails on a chalkboard to me now.

Also tete de moine is fantastic and it looks so distinctive when shaved with the girolle.

>>11824110
Preach! The return on your investment is so high.

Do you like mashed potatoes? Have you ever thought "man those are good but I wish they had so much cheese in them that they got stringy"? I have great news for you. Takes quite a bit of huile de coude to make properly, but it's worth it.

I agree: if someone's mom tries to wow everyone on Christmas with a foie gras au torchon and there's a little bit of fat on the side, you say it's delicious and you eat, end of story. Doesn't mean you don't acknowledge that the perfect version a professional would make is better.


Also tête de moine IS fucking fantastic. I'm actually surprised someone knows about it on here

We've been looking at a lot of food but we haven't considered dishes. Let's change that. Again, simplicity is where it's at. Buckwheat crêpe, ham, gruyère, egg. Done. This one is a gift from Brittany.

I feel like members of the anglosphere associate french cooking with complicated or overly elaborate cooking, when that's not the case at all. Turns out, France had peasants too. Sure, the stuff that Bocuse and Ducasse put out is arguably a little stuffy, but that's not what you'll find in a French household on a tuesday night.

Pommes aligot are pretty amazing as well, you've got some good taste there m8. Easier to fuck up than a lot of people think though- if you let them cool too much they'll end up lumpy but if you add cheese while they're too hot you can actually break them, seeing as they're often 50%+ cheese by weight. Same deal with restaurant-style pommes puree- i feel like a lot of people are probably happier not realizing that they can be over half butter by weight.

Honestly though I think technique-wise one of the absolute coolest things you can do with a potato is also one that looks, on the surface, ridiculously simple- pommes souffle. Literally just double fried slices of potato. But if you do the slicing and frying JUST SO, they end up not just crispy but puffed up to a level that's almost hard to believe.

>It's apparently illegal in some parts of the US because helping a duck or a goose along with doing something they'd be doing on their own anyway is animal cruelty
Do they force them to eat more than they normally would on their own?

>>11824213
They (generally) use a technique called gavage, which is force feeding. It looks kinda inhumane on the surface but only because it would be unpleasant to us as humans. Geese and ducks aren't humans, they're animals that swallow whole fish and such and as such have no gag reflex, and also naturally gorge during certain times of the year. It doesn't bother them- hell I've been to a farm that raised duck for foie gras, and they lined up for it. Obviously having a liver that fatty means you're not exactly 'healthy' in the traditional sense, but A) they're going to get eaten later on anyways, and B) the birds can only put on fat like that if they're really well looked after and low-stress, so generally animals being raised for foie gras are treated REALLY well overall.

It's basically all down to people anthropomorphizing animals and has very little basis in reality imo.

If you're REALLY uncomfortable with the whole idea of gavage, there are places that raise ducks/geese for foie gras without it, generally by keeping the area where they nest/sleep dark almost all the time to mimic winter, and just providing them available food at all times; they just keep gorging on their own to prepare for a migration that never happens. Obviously even more expensive and niche than regular foie, but good if you have ethical issues with how it's traditionally produced.

>>11824213
Yes and no? There's some guy in Spain that makes foie gras without gavage and apparently his product is pretty top tier, so no. At the same time, other producers are looking to increase their yield and they arguably don't have that kind of time, so yes. All the same, any argument that gavage is somehow more cruel than any other measure other meat producers take is complete garbage.

That looks amazing, I'll have to look into it.

This one is rabbit with a whole grain mustard, cream and (often) tarragon sauce. Although you can definitely play around with that recipe, the main thing as far as I'm concerned is the flavor combination. You can forgo the sauce bit and just grill rabbit you've rubbed with mustard and tarragon and it's still great

Australia and New Zealand have the best artisanal produce in the world with the highest standard of living. Europoors don't even come close; we import all your best shit anyways

Any country which does not produce olive oil is immediately disqualified from having best food.

You would not believe the resources that goes into our (California San Jose) homeless. It's fucking retarded bullshit. I used to have some compassion for them, but now I just want them gassed.

>>11824513
Do you really think France doesn't have olive trees in Provence or Corsica?

>>11824396

Lmfao idk where you shop cunt, but aussie produce is shit. In the last two years I have been to Japan, Vietnam, Michigan and Ottawa. They have all, even Vietnam, had better produce than Australia.

Walked into Coles and the onions and potatoes were ready to compost, the lemons were Israeli and the garlic was Chinese. Artisinal produce? You must have loooooow fucking standards.

Try harder you stupid troll fuck.

Bait thread aside, what is the OP pic?
I can't find anything on Google reverse search, not even something similar even with tags.
Lemon? Or is it custard? I want to know what the OP pic is so I can recreate it because I need to eat it, whatever it is.
Help me out bros.

It's some flavor of mille-crepe cake. Basically a stack of crepes layered with a filling of some sort and then sliced like a cake.

>>11825258
I want to know what the sauce is that looks like hollandaise :V
And also what's the yellow layer on top? Seems like a very nontraditional mille-crepes and I just have this feeling that it would be so fantastic if I knew what it was specifically.

I think the sauce is crème patissière but I'm not sure.

>>11819975
Great thread

>>11825360
Traditionally the pastry cream would be what is between the layers of crepe.
But you may be right, it seems like something denser and lighter colored is actually between those crepe layers, the texture looks buttercream-y. Couldn't be French buttercream between with a thinner pastry cream on top?
The plot thickens...

>>11825411
The sauce on top could be something lemon-related. I have had mille cakes like that before. Pastry cream inside, a lemon sauce on top.
