  • I went to Paris a long time ago, but I thought I'd come back and do a proper food tour! On this food adventure, I ate some amazing pastries, and one of my favorites was the pistachio escargot pastry. At Chez Fernand, you'll have some of the riches foods there like the legendary Boeuf bourguignon defiantly get that because the beef is incredibly tender. I had one of the best soufflés at La Cuisine de Philippe. You can get a savory one and when you need something sweet you can get the chocolate soufflé. If you want something cheesy, go to Pain Vin Fromage, it's a great experience because you get to cook your cheese and meats on a mini stove.

    I am french and you just ended the greatest french war of all time.
    In Paris we call the chocolat pastry "pain au chocolat" (chocolate bread) but in Bordeaux, they call it "chocolatine" and we hate each other for that. Calling them chocolate croissant just signed an era of peace and happiness in this world.
    Thank you kind sir.
    Also, 4€ for a crêpe, you've just been robed, sorry about that.

    The truth is... not many French people actually eat snails. But for those who do... it's not really about the snails. It's about the sauce. The most famous one is indeed garlic and butter... But you have many other combinations (like white wine and potted meat, breadcrumbs and caramelised onions, etc.). As you said, the French believe in sauce lol.
    And that was it for the snail minute. Thx.

      Oui! Je vécu en Australie et au Canada, on est quelque chose les francais pour le monde, la langue, la mode, les villes, la nourriture, l'élégance. J'ai pris beaucoup de fierté en voyagant. Si seulement les francais s'en rendaient compte et ouvraient un peu plus leurs esprits au monde extèrieur, en apprenant bien l'anglais par exemple, ca éviterai de passer pour des snobs. Puis ils se rendraient compte qu'en France, on est vraiment bien.
      Parce que oui, les francais trainent entre eux et parlent fort. Alors qu'on a un humour qui fait beaucoup rire, je trouve ca domage de ne pas se meler aux autres.

      It might also be because Mike is Asian so he's less familiar with non Asian foods. So when he's discovering something new it's comes across as more interesting then when he's just extolling why he loves certain things he's already eaten many times over. (I do love all of Mike's videos, even the ones where he's eating stuff he is already familiar with. I just like the videos were he's exploring a new cuisine best.)

    A little guide for people interested in French food.
    Escargot pastry = Pain au raisin = "Raisin bread" (it's not bread though, it's a viennoiserie = pastry)
    [this bakery actually make special ones, the traditional are just with raisin]
    Chocolate croissant = Pain au chocolat = "Chocolate Bread" (for the most part of
    France)
    , Chocolatine (in South of France), Petit Pain = "Little Bread" (In some part North of France) (it's not bread though, it's a viennoiserie = pastry)
    .
    Ali Baba: is most commonly called in France, Baba au rhum.
    Crêpes: we usually put jam, chocolate, sugar&lemon, just sugar, honey and also you can put confiture de lait (milk jam), crème de marron (chestnut cream), gelée de coing (quince jelly) on it, but you can put whatever you want. There is a savoury version as well, usually with buckwheat flour but even with this type of crêpes you can put savoury things on it, most common are ham, Emmental cheese & egg, but you can put whatever you want. (Also super expensive crêpes). In France it's not uncommon to do "Crêpes Party" with your friends and family, during this, you only eat crêpes, small ones or regular size.
    Macaron: did you know? While most foreigners are obsessed with macarons, French people don't eat it very often and usually eat more pastries and patisseries. Macarons are almost treated like a candy (it's not but it's very sugary). Also, Macarons and Macaroons are not the same things.
    Raclette: it's a dish from Switzerland but widely eaten in all of the Alps and after that, it spread to the rest of France. Like said in the video, for the traditional raclette, you have the whole wheel of cheese that the restaurant melt for you to put on your potatoes topped with delicatessen (you can eat it with little pickles and little pickled onions). Because there are already potatoes in this dish we don't really eat it with bread and we don't eat this with our hands but with cutlery. Usually, if you put your cheese on the delicatessen only, it's because you ran out of potatoes. Here it's the at-home raclette that you have, most people have this type of raclette device at home but bigger ones (family size). Also, don't grill delicatessen, apart for bacon (and maybe jambon blanc/white ham), don't grill it. Things like saucisson and viande des grisons, every jerked meats are not meant to be grilled.

      You have to find a good bakery.
      As a french I can tell you that nowadays, a lot of bakeries use cheap ingredient to lower the price (like margarine instead of butter) and many of them sells awfull pastries...
      That make me sick to think that they disrespect french pastry, and disrespect clients for profit...
      What a shame, it can give a bad first time impression for people who don’t have tasted good pastries before.
