    Hi dear Loners, French lady here. I like your channel. About ecargots, they contain a small piece of rather chewy meat that is not really tasty, but they are mostly seasonned with garlic , parsley and lots of melted butter. If you like this butter seasoning that we call "beurre Maitre d'Hôtel" (Maitre d' butter) you'll like escargots. On the question to know if we eat pizza with fork and knife, yes! We do when in a pizza restaurant ( a pizzeria) because they serve the whole pizza on your plate, not cut in slices, and since we are sitting at a table, good manners are to cut small bites one at a time. But if we are standing at a bar with a beer or getting pizza delivered at home while watching a movie or netflix, we eat it by the slice, straight out of the box and with our fingers. Fresh baguette is not hard at all, and doesn't taste stale. You had a bad baguette. Honestly, we love baguette so much that we buy a fresh one almost before evey meal (it's easy because there is a boulangerie almost in every street and baguettes are really cheap). We aloa have fresh baguette and just butter or a small piece of cheese, and bam! it's a delcious snack ready in one minute! We French just looooooove our bread, and food obviously. One joke about the French whichi s very very true is that we can be in the middle of a wonderful meal in a fancy restaurant and one of the main topic of the conversation between the guests will stil be food, recipes, adresses of cool restaurants or bakeries..;that is just how we are!

      Hello,
      This is not the first time I've responded to this statement about snails lacking in taste or occasionally even having a bad taste. Both statements are false.
      Replace the snail with pork, for example, and the experience will not be the same.
      The snail has its taste. Which is similar to that of certain mushrooms in the end. As for the second statement (bad taste), well, it's a question of taste precisely. If you don't like mushrooms, yes, there's little chance you'll appreciate the taste of snails.
      Peace, folks. ☮👈😎

    Pour apprécier le nourriture en France, il fait comprendre que chaque français a eu une éducation culinaire dès le plus jeune âge, c’est ce que l’on appelle se créer un palais. Aucun américain ne peut savourer un plat français sans avoir eu cet apprentissage.
    De plus, chaque préparation contient de bons produits sans transformation et réalisés par des artisanats qualifiés.
    Rien à voir avec que que l’on peux trouver aux us.
    Bref, apprécier les plats français, cela s’apprend.
    Ps : les français avec un peu d’éducation ne mangent pas la pizza avec les mains.

    it's not about being picky really.
    i do believe that most US people have to unlearn "foods" before starting to understand that a baguette on its own can be simply fantastic.
    One thing that always make me laugh is watching an american seeing paté and getting the "cat food" reaction.

    French here:
    - Snails are amazing, and it is kind of a pesto (butter, garlic and basilic or parsley - always mix them up)
    - Onion soup: you should try, even if you're not into soups
    - Pizza: it depends, if you buy a pizza at a take away truck or US chain, probably with your hands, but at a restaurant no, you eat with knife and fork. For me I usually prefer with knife and fork, especially if it's too oily / dripping)
    - Yeah, if you come to France you have to try everything and forget everything you think you know about food, and how food should be done, should taste or should be combined together... but you will be mind blown! And I would LOVE for you guys to go and visit :)
    - Crepes... I always find it weird, yeah lots of people from Britanny for some reason end up in Paris, but this feels too much like a scam, if you want crepes, go to Britanny ahah.
    - Duck! Yes, one of the best meats ever, with lamb and horse :)
    - Foie Gras -- Safety advice! Never EVER call this a 'pâté' in France... you could be killed ahah (and yes, this is the most exquisite food in the world, I could go vegetarian, but I could never let go of Foie Gras :P)
    And last, cause it's on brand... you should really watch the olympic games opening ceremony... wow!

    Yes, snails, not that bad. I was lucky to not go in a restaurant for that--was hitch-hiking in the south of France & a giuy picked me up, but before driving me where I needed to go, he insisted that I go to his farm & see how he was making wine. After the demo & tasting, his wife insisted that we stay for the evening meal, and that's what she had on the menu. I wasn't too thrilled at first, but out of respect for what they did for me, I ate everything--even spent half the evening with the family (but I'm french canadian, so not much language barrier). onion soup was amazing too, and the mom even gave me her family recipe. Croque-Monsieur, I already ate before visiting France, as I have french ancestry, it was a pretty common meal here. And if you ever go there, don't forget the mille-feuilles for dessert--amazing. Tanks and have a nice day, both of you. For baguettes--get up early and get them out of the oven at 6 a.m in a bakery.

    Escargots are great. When I was a kid a lot of restaurants served them here in Austria too, of course under the German name "Weinbergschnecken (=vineyard snails)".
    During the 2000s the went out of fashion but now it seems they are making a comback.
    If you like mussels, you will like escargots as well. As you said: Just see them as land mussels.

    hi, yes yes in restaurants most French people eat their pizza with a knife and fork, less at home with a delivered pizza. it's like potato fries, at restaurants with cutlery at home more often in hand, it's in the collective unconscious we don't even ask the question! except in fast food! the baguette is a real institution, there are several batches per day, the baker starts his day at 3 or 4 a.m., it is a real essential profession in France, a brittle crust with a tender crumb is anything but stale bread !
    that said I hate snails, the seasoning is just parsley, garlic and butter, a base in French cooking. duck is super good specialty of the southwest, each region has its specialty, you should know that we have been influenced by 5 countries on the border and revisited in the French way. but I love Spanish and Italian cuisine.

  • @novastarburst3939
    @novastarburst3939 หลายเดือนก่อน

    For the pizza is depends. If it's a cheap Domino's one eaten while watching something, it's usually with the hands except if it's really greasy. But at a restaurant, except if you're a pig, you eat it with fork & knife. Also the escargots are well known with butter, but in other regions it's cook in a different way, and it's something which was more eaten by older generations. Also for the foie gras, visit the south west and try some small local producers's ones, it tastes so much better. Paris isn't the best place for french food, all the south west and on the other side, Lyon, are better choices.

    5:42 hahahah that cracked me up becuase i swear so many americans are like that. The americans i met at uni always had these weird issues with food and would tell us about friends or sibling who were worse, we used to joke that americans were born with eating disorders. Like scoffing at like toad in the hole because of the name when its just sasuage and pastry lol, names of food mean nothing to euros i feel like.
    Only later did i learn that some parents are just too overprotective which leads to increased rates of lactose intolerance and nut allergies, or that fresh food variety isnt the best in some places, we also vaccinate our animals against salmonella so food poisioning is very rare for us, personally ive never had it in my life so maybe we worry less about getting sick.

    I always thought it was funny that our gastronomy is considered kind of high end and somewhat elitist when most of the recipes come from rural french places and the most known one were made by poor people.
    Most french cuisine is really sustainable grandma dishes basically.
    The elitist and high cost myth mostly comes from Parisian scamming everyone with their stupidely high prices.
    If one day you consider visiting France, don't stick to Paris, France is much more than that city especially culturally, historically and culinary wise.
    Also again, Paris prices are absurds but prices are absurd in all cities tbf.
    Eating is not just an act, over here it's also a socialization tool so we tend to eat for hours.
    When it comes to bakery there's also so much more than the baguette too!
    There's enough different kind of cheese in france that you could try one different cheese each day for three years.
    It's not pesto in the snails, it's what we call "snail butter" which is garlic butter with a "persillade" which is a mix of parsley and garlic and oil.
    Also Paris is not the culinary capital of France, that is Lyon's title.

Also foie gras are from different quality, depending on the price: of course if it's cheap it won't look and taste that great. Don't forget a bottle of liquoreux (very sweet white wine, like Monbazillac or Sauternes) with it!

    Generally, in Pizzerias, we use fork and knife when eating pizza, pizzas are usually not cut up in slices unless you ask for it.

    I have to say you've seen nothing of the French food in this video, some are just "tourist food" in a way, we eat it, but that's not the symbol of french gastronomie here (I'm not talking about bread and cheese, croissant or quiche obviously)
    Many incredible dishes are waiting for you, like you said country of food, you could prefer chinesse, italian, Mexican but you cannot not recognize its variety and quality.
    So be careful with "France isn't the best food in Europe" no rush opinion, don't hesitate to come but never forget Paris and parisian is not la France just a (big?) part of it.
