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. ☮👈😎
In France we usually eat Pizza with fork and knife at the restaurant, we eat with hands on the go or at home.
"Foie gras ?"
" it doesn't look good" 😂
Yeah!!! Please don't buy it! We'll have more for us 😁🇫🇷
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!
We eat pizza with fork and knife at a pizzeria. At home, it's often with the hands.
Yes we (the French) eat pizza with cutlery 😂❤
We stopped eating with our hands around Neolitic time.
Not sure about Cro-Magnon though
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 much more eaten by foreign tourists than by actual French people... I'm 62 and I ate escargots twice.
I'm french, 65 years old, my 2 sons and their kids, we love snails 😁
I'm 48 and eat snails pretty much every Christmas
@@julienserre8867 Same for me !
At least twice a year for me. Every christmas of my life, I've eaten escargots and frog legs.
Escargots are usually prepared with garlic and parsley butter. You put the escargot into your mouth, pour the melted butter on a piece of fresh baguette... mmmmh delicious
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.
8:42 WTH!!!? You've never had duck in your life? Wow, to me that's like someone told me that they never had potatoes or chocolate. 😮
Don't you eat goose on St. Martin's Day either?
Oh god, I sent that before your last shot... sorry but France is the best. Italy is very good, getting close second ahah, and Spain / Portugal, Greece, all have good food too, but it's not the same. Also France is culinary capital because we have invented the whole protocol and knowledge around it, the ceremonial aspects and the standards
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.
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.
QUICK is actually a belgian chain of burgers, and their best burger is the "Giant".
I’m 33, I ate escargots exactly one (1) time in my life. It’s really not common anymore (it’s an old-school dish).
That being said, maybe some people, maybe in burgundy or elsewhere are eating it a bit more often 🤷♂️ might depends on your taste as well 🤷♂️
here a frech guy and i eat my pizza, french fries, croque monsieur with my hands everywhere (when the food is do it for). Eat like you wish, you don't care about other people think about you (sorry for the faults, my english is not well)
Is French cuisine the best in the world? I don't know but it's the only one that is listed as a World Heritage Site, so maybe it's for a good reason?
Food in Europe is fresh delicious and really really really good.
Being a french from paris, those are tourit stuff... But thé best restaurants of thé World are in this city, you have to go around to get it
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.
5:50 In Germany we say: "What the farmer doesn't know, he won't eat!" It sounds nicer in English.😂
watt de buar nich kennt datt fret er nich
We do eat pizza with knife and fork unless it is pizza hut or domino's
French onion soup I love it yummy 🤤
Snails are a huge delicacy in Nigeria. Peppered snail is the GOAT.
I'm originally from northern France, yes we eat pizza with a fork and knife. I now live in the UK and eat pizza with my hands.
French here I don't eat pizza with fork even in a restaurant...
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.
Don’t hassle for vote time guys we had on month in France an the Brits had two if I recall
les américain ont vraiment des gouts de doberman lol
Daj im worek cukru, worek torttili, zalej czymś co przypomina ser i będą szczęśliwi
@@ajeto2 c'est exactement ça lol
I'm from South West France, near Bordeaux, and I almost eat magret de canard (duck) every 2 weeks. 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!
"Foie gras" doesn't look good ? :o Damn...
You should really try it. One of the best food in my opinion (eat it with white wine ;) )
And it’s extremely cruel
My view of everyday food in Europe is that it's mostly of the same standard, French food isn't better than Norwegian. I'm not a fine dining person, so I cannot speak of that.
Generally, in Pizzerias, we use fork and knife when eating pizza, pizzas are usually not cut up in slices unless you ask for it.
(Swedish)
My comment (where I said that Wolker is no expert ...) has disappeared ... !
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.
Not many french will be offended by the sentence "Paris does not have the best food in Europe", Paris is not even French Food capital, but if you go to Lyon, and say the same from Lyon, I hope for you that you run like Bolt ^^
5th of November is your voting day . Fun fact we voted on your 4th of July and you guys are voting on our 5th of November . Think 🤔 they are deliberately messing with us all .
Monsieur est bien trop ignorant pour apprécier la nourriture française, il a raison, rien ne vaut un tender de chez Joillibee lol nan mais sérieux...
Who don't use forks and knives ?
Not invented by Americans, so the answer is they don't use these "fancy things".
Chinese and asian peoples ...
I would not presume to tell you how to vote for but my sister who is very Conservative says "how can any woman vote for Trump"
It"s fun because I'm pretty sure that most escargots that are eaten in France are eaten by tourists in Paris?
No but we eat things with a knife and fork!!!!!!!!!
I'm a simple woman. I see foie gras, i click.
And because YT is blocking everything again.. let's try the cuddle version of my comment: Oh yeah the French: So proud of their animal 😇CUDDLE food. And how they managed to circumvent animal protection laws to be able to continue their ancient Foie Gras and Frog Leg 😇CUDDLE party. No you should not eat this 😇.
Italian badge on the shirt in Paris, superb idea. Frog legs? Why? Ever seen how those animals are killed? Quiche, yes no one has it like the french.
And foie gras? Why? Ever seen how those ducks get force fed so their livers get bigger ?
@@Maya9396 they still do it?
@@dh1ao yes they do. Only 5 country’s allow the practice and of course France is one of them.
@@Maya9396 hmpf :(
Dont go to france, go to a real country which doesnt look like paris. Vienna is still half decent.
Guess what ? Paris is not a country. Plenty of beautiful small towns and cute villages in France.
That's funny! Because all big European cities are trying to look like Paris, and have been doing so for a long time.
I started visiting France in 75, lived in since 03. Never been to and don't want to visit Paris.
I've been to France around 14 times and loved every minute of it.
It’s a great shame. @russcattell955i
