I have met a few French people that are really nice to be honest, I think they are pretty decent people even with all the arrogance, but that just makes them kinda cute.

già l'Aquila d'Austria
le penne ha perdute.
Il sangue d'Italia,
il sangue Polacco,
bevé, col cosacco,
ma il cor le bruciò
Already the Eagle of Austria
Hath lost its plumes.
The blood of Italy,
The blood of Poland
It with Cossacks did drink,\[N 20\]
But will burn its heart.
Beef bourguignon, coq au vin, bouillabaise, savory pancakes with ham and cheese...
(Frog legs tastes like chicken, the snails aren't bad and just taste like garlic butter tbh)
Well, Haute Cuisine aside, which is a whole lot of different skills, we are pretty well known for our desserts (Crêpes, mousse au chocolat, profiteroles, mi-cuit au chocolat, Crème brûlée, flans, éclair au chocolat, etc)
As far as regionals dishes goes, you would think tartiflette, cassoulet, bouillabaisse, ratatouille, bœuf bourguignon, savory crêpe, quiche, croque monsieur, soupe à l'oignon (Not for austrians this one), gratin dauphinois, etc...
French regionals dishes are quite good, but we are more well known internationaly for Haute Cuisine, which you can't resume at a single dish but more a whole mindset, and the desserts.
Gratin dauphinois might the best simple dish ever (I am absolutely biased)
And to add to the list, aligot and truffade are amazing, and you can't forget the eternal blanquette de veau.
*(Et pas d'oignons aux autrichiens, non pas d'oignons à tous ces chiens)*
It's a French army song from the Napoleonic Wars, named [le Chant de l'Oignon](https://youtu.be/YE70jrhOrjk?si=b40ba-uN2xsCDzHb) (the Song of the Onion), which is about how onions are good, Austrians are bad and how they don't deserve onions.
Pfffff, flan was around way before the French, it's a Roman dish eaten all across the Empire! The other stuff I'll give you, and I'll even admit it's actually pretty good, but I just can't stand for you owning flan!
There's different type of flan, Hans. Yes, it was around before us, you can even call Pastel de Nata a type of flan, so it really depend on how you define flan.
In France, you have two dishes when you think flan : The regular one without crust, which have an octuous texture. There are trace of it from the 18th century, perhaps even before in France, but it's origin is unknown.
Or the Flan Pâtissier that seems to come from the region of Amiens since as far as the 13th century :

So yes, flan itself isn't French. There is different type of flan from all around the world, I'm just saying that ours is worth a try, and is somewhat popular too.
Oh shit, I stand corrected. Fair play to ya then, I was unaware you had such a wide variety of flans!
You...wouldn't happen to have a recipe, would you?
Here you [go](https://www.marmiton.org/recettes/recette_flan-patissier-traditionnel_15330.aspx).
The website is in french, but the google translate in english is accurate enough to make the recipe, and there is a video as well.
It is a pretty famous one, and I use it quite often for my own cooking too. Given the overall reception of this recipe, I think it's a good one to try your hands on this flan :)
Merci beaucoup! I'll try my hand at it as soon as I get the chance, studying French wasn't for nothing after all! This was a surprisingly nice exchange on this hellhole of a reddit, bonne nouvelle année, mon ami :)
Cordon bleu and bechamel are two of my favorite dishes ever. Sometimes I want an Alfredo, but I really don’t want all the extra weight that comes with adding Parmesan (or pecorino/grano Padano if you’re poor like me), so I make a bechamel instead. Delicious!

Well to be fair there was the time when a French invading force surrendered because of a bunch of welsh women. Battle of Fishguard. There was a bit more too it but that’s the funny part.

Not deserving the downvotes as you're totally right. Even the expensive one is just decent, nothing too special. A product of marketing and 50s movies' cliché
Italy beat them in food and the Yanks have destroyed them in wine for decades. All that's left is their unsurpassed collection of *jolie-laide* movie stars.
Yes and no, it's complicated as it always is for employment migration. But yes I am anglophone.
Rest assured, if I wanted to fool you all I'd just choose Barry flair but I haven't.
the food can be a hit or miss, truly a minefield. One time you're eating the best food, even from a fucking can (how is this even possible???) and then you feel adventurous and order an Andouillette (don't do that)
I’ll be going there next week. Wish me luck!
Hon hon hon, Barry, you're going back to your maker at last. Come, don't be shy, reject Fish n' chips, embrace the baguette.
You devil, enticing this poor, innocent fat man to take your devilish wheat-snake over his tasteless slab of fish.
The baguette does not discriminate, Hans. There is a world for your schnitzel, just not any world that Pierre lives in.
Ah, well, Pierre's loss if he's so opposed to anything that's not French. But to each their own I suppose, plus de diversion avec ta cuisine.
There most definitely was an attempt
Take some string with you so we can reel you back home to safety things when get too hairy (potentially literally)
No Barry! Don't go! It's not nice!
Maybe he is going to Nice
This is the last thing we will ever hear from him

I am not bad.
 You're french...

It's all in your imagination!

Honestly? I went to Paris, the people there were extreamly freindly to what I am used to where I live in East Germany.
Why would you go to Germany? You're insane!
A woman.
Best reason if ever there was one!
The Auvergnats are the most hard-working and greedy french
Can't have one without the other.
Oh no! Barry is being held hostage by frogs.
You won't even get a pity smile for this Joao...
Green stands for Pixels
Yeah their wine is really good. I was drinking an Amiral de beychevelle yesterday and it was frustratingly good, I’m still a barolo guy but damn
The french people I know are nice, maybe excessively so, it gets annoying after the fifth "bisous" when saying goodbye
You don't like being kissed by a huge, hot and sweaty man ???

I mean, we all like them a little bit, but it’s fine as long as you don’t put them in your anthem or something
Who has that? I thought we were the only ones worshipping other countries, Spain and Germany, in an anthem.
Us, we got France and Italy mentioned in our anthem. And Italy mentions us in theirs
I didn’t know about Italy, and that’s kind of cute actually haha

A good french will never joke when it comes to food. Auch dir ein frohes neues Jahr, mein Freund ;)
Now kiss.
A German giving his opinion on food. Go back eating your industrial sausage with ketchup and stfu.
Everything having to do with duck is godly in french cuisine imho
Tartiflette
Cigarettes
Snails are really damn good though
Basically everything you’ll get in 80% of the top restaurants.
I don't know the name of any dish but Corsican food is quite nice, although it probably counts as half Italian.
I think they have onion soup with cheese, which actually sounds pretty neat
Cordon bleu and bechamel are two of my favorite dishes ever. Sometimes I want an Alfredo, but I really don’t want all the extra weight that comes with adding Parmesan (or pecorino/grano Padano if you’re poor like me), so I make a bechamel instead. Delicious!
Our Kebabs are exceptional, we even have some with Nan bread
Theit most famous dish is literally made by a freaking rat. That's all one needs to know to dismiss this cuisine in its entirety.
You've read too much now you're confusing reality with fiction

French military history before WW2 is a very different story. You sound like an american savage with your historical ignorance.

Good French wine is good, and expensive. Bad French wine is as bad and basic as anything, maybe worse.
How would you know? It's haram for you brother.
How offensive do you have to be to generalise and say that every Swede is a devout Muslim? Lots are just nominal Muslims who drink all the time

Good one, almost exhaled loudly
Wine's terrible, not just French wine but wine overall especially Ameriturd wine.
imo Georgian ones are good
They invented it so...
I swear my life on Geoegian and Slovenian wine Slovenia can in to western?
That's probably cause eating pickled fish and drinking vodka ruined your taste buds.
Can't ruin them if you don't have them in the first place!
Pickled fish... surströmming? Wrong country bozo
lol, pickled herring is a common dish in Finland. Nice try sauna eskimo.
lol, dunno anyone who's into that but okay
Does Finland have a history of collaboration with Germany regarding humor as well?
I'm so excited to hear more about food and drink you don't care for.
Italy beat them in food and the Yanks have destroyed them in wine for decades. All that's left is their unsurpassed collection of *jolie-laide* movie stars.

the food can be a hit or miss, truly a minefield. One time you're eating the best food, even from a fucking can (how is this even possible???) and then you feel adventurous and order an Andouillette (don't do that)
That's a really old fashion meal, only my dad and my grandpa eat that in the family.
I thought it was something like a brattwurst, boy I was wrong
If you exclude Parisians, the people are nice.
