i love italian food too ! especially in sicilia ! (yes i m french)

Siamo vicini (sono di Monte-Carlo) è mi piace molto la cucina della grande Italia

to be honest, in my taste Italia is the only country who can rival our french cuisine.

Love Italian food, from France

Love Italy from France :)

@@rohamisamazing political stuff ?

It looks like French food is overpriced cheap ingredients.

overrated tourist traps

@@alexnhan8527 lmao you think THAT was "french food"? btw, going to a nice restaurant in paris and ordering snails and calling them expensive is like going to a high end bar in manhattan and claiming that the $15 beer is expensive. no shit sherlock. and a $5 pack of cigarettes is $20 at LAX airport. "french food is overpriced cheap ingredients" lmao what a moron

👍Tartiflette, bouillabaisse, choucroute, cassoulet, and soooo more !

just like every country

@@naelgodefroy2535 like most countries

Whahahaha that's one of the best restaurant anecdotes I've ever heard xD Thanks for the good laugh!

Haha did you even succeed cracking the shells?

@@iagreewithyou3478 Still likely the funniest thing I've ever done. I got one! And that's because the exact moment everyone looked at us was when I went full "oonga boonga," gripped the sunabitch hard down at the base and cracked the shell into a million little pieces. Not my brightest moment considering the utensil obviously isn't meant to crush..in my defense, it was week 4 into an Amsterdam study abroad and I was high 102% of the time.

French here, that is hilarious and sweet!

That's really funny! Sometimes French people aren't very kind or patient with foreigners unfortunately! Someone should've told you.

Yeah actually most of them appreciate but they can’t resist to make fun for nothing of us. + it has something to do with the war in Irak

french cooking kinda sucks tho, snail, frog legs and whatever that stuff was at the beginning, sweet bread? yeah that's all weird

@@ridgefrost it's just, with japanese gastronomy, the only gastronomy protected by the unesco. So... and if you only know frogs and those kind of things, you absolutly don't know french cooking, even not 1%. We are masters of cheese, wine, bread, venoisserie... but, yeah, french cooking sucks

@@Tristan.Raymondpersonally i do appreciate good cooking but i do not appreciate exotic meals which the french seem to focus on heavily, anything out of the ordinary or with a strong taste isn't really for me which is why i've had a hard time finishing even one bite of liver, and the funny thing is i'm from a french speaking background

@@ridgefrost gratin dophinois is absolutly not exotic, or jambon persillé, or andouillette de Lyon, or ratatouille, or foie de veau, or cassoulet, or boeuf bourguinon etc etc. French cooking do not focusing on anything, it's even the strengh of the french gastronomy, there is so many different type of meal, there's plenty meals for everyone.

You and every other country in the whole world…

Same here!

For my part, I'm 100% french but living in Tokyo. When I'm back to France (one or two times a year) I want to eat the Real McCoy of french cuisine, I hate the "nouvelle cuisine" which is just a hype thing full of Japanese cuisine influences for the ingredients as well as for the picky-tiny decoration of superlative plates full of nothing: NO WAY !!!

it is really similar but not quite the same, the vinegar reduction for example

@@Unsweetened8618 Turkey is not really in Europe ! Turkey is a transcontinental country that is located in both Europe and Asia. BUT the European part of Turkey, called East Thrace, accounts for 3% of the country's total area, or 23,764 square kilometers. The population of East Thrace is approximately 10 million people, or just 14% of Turkey's total population. To sum up: Turkey that is located in Europe is just a tiny 3% !

@@hermes3386 Turkey can be throwin in that Euro pot too Still Southern Europeans have Better food

I would suggest not hanging out for too long in this area after a long night partying. A lot of scumbags in this area and it's getting worse every day.

we usually wash down the food with booze over here. But yeah hahaha

how much is the food

Well, you have to drink to forget. Argentina campeon franchute, a llorar a la iglesia.

@@alainportant6412 It is in a very safe area actually

wrr

La cuisine Lyonnaise. Formidable!

''Bouchons'' are the equivalent of Pubs or old Taverns in England/Ireland. It designate a place where you can eat & have a drink. Wine being more popular in France (since the Romans) than beer (which was the Ancient Gauls Celts main alcoholic beverage) a bouchon is 'slang' a wine bottle stopper.

It doesn't disappear in adults.It just becomes smaller.

isnt it the city of love

@@flatweee6066 It's both, and more...

They douse with a heavy cream based sauce.

The wrong wine doesn't mean "you don't know how to live" but that you have terrible taste :/ Some flavors go together some don't, nothing complicated here :D

For sure white wine is not made for these kind of associations. It is lighter so it goes with seafood, fish, cheese or dessert. Red wine is an absolute match when it comes to (red) meat and game

@OB1 Look how much butter is in all this Cuisine! I love butter, don’t get me wrong. You could eat anything cooked with this much butter. Pig Ear & Snout……disgusting.

hello how are you, i really do love your comment, i must confess i was impressed by your world.

I love French food but couldn’t f with Andouillette. Tried it twice at two different brasseries just to be sure and, No. Waiter at second place actually warned me it was intense!

Are you talking about snails or winkles?

There's a reason why Louisiana is called after Louis the XIVth of France.

Un ami visite régulièrement "l'Amérique profonde" ,celle loin des grandes villes ,et il apprécie énormément la nourriture qu'on y cuisine. Prenez le temps de cuisiner ,trouvez des aliments sains loin des usines à bouffe et avec un peu de talent ça ne peut être que bon.

True, but isn’t it like that basically everywhere? In Europe it is at least.

@@michieljuta976 Probably true indeed

​@@michieljuta976 Well, France is quite unique in its kind, maybe you will find a lot of culinary diversity in Italy but I invite you to look at a map of French specialties to give you already a small idea of what this cuisine is (it would be impossible to put everything in a map, really)

@@michieljuta976 Let's say that France is the only country in Europe where, thanks to the mild climate in winter, and good fertile soil, you find such large herds. there is such a wide variety of cheeses, meats and poultry, fish, seafood, wines, fruits and vegetables from the north and south, cereals, pastries, high-end confectionery, chocolates... Probably the most productive and complete territory in Europe in food production. And stable for 2000 years, with a gastronomic history strongly influenced by the Romans, who were already very refined cooks. We eat very well everywhere in Europe, but France has the largest choice of quality raw materials. And a know-how, a passion for food and the pleasures of life. The Romans disappeared as the dominant civilization, but they transmitted this gastronomic heritage to us, and we adapted it to our regions. I think we are the best in charcuterie. Also in pastry. In wines and cheeses. Thanks to the richness of the terroir, unique in Europe.

What did you do to have a great trip?

@@deadinside8781 Luxembourg Garden was my fave. Also, Versaille. Picnic in grass at Eiffel tower. Sienne boat dinner cruise. walked cool neighborhoods like Pigalle, Montmarte and Le Marais. Ate amazing food. ate charcuterie on our airbnb terrace, took the Metro everywhere, visited museums galore.

hello how are you, i really do love your comment, i must confess i was impressed by your world.

@@chriscatton705 so you didn't do anything interesting 😃

@@chriscatton705 relax it was a joke

its uper normal and tasty you will not be disappointed

I ate escargot and i think he overexaggerated them a bit. They mostly taste like the butter you stuff them with. They just give a small amount of "different oil/fat" and texture to it. But basically you could replicate this with any spongy food - like tofu for example - and the same butter.

How can you have cooked them but not tried them? That sounds really odd

@@sneer0101 two different things said by two different people. The host comment diferentiates to the thread.

@@sneer0101 yes I know it does. At the time of my cooking them I was part of a religion where it is forbidden to eat certain things….thymus glands being one of them….as they are seen as unclean. Now that I’m older I’m no longer part of any religion and I eat what I like. I just haven’t tried sweetbreads as of yet as they are difficult to find where I live. ✌🏻😊

@@sneer0101 p.s. I only recently had liver and I didn’t like it. Though I’ve prepared it many time and it always smells so tasty….I did not like it at all. 😂😂😂😂 I also never ate shellfish or pork until I was an adult. Of course I wouldn’t prepare pork either as it was unclean and we weren’t even permitted to touch the flesh. But I realized that those food laws were necessary to keep ppl from getting ill before refrigeration and before understanding safe cooking temps. So…now I’ll try just about anything…tho I do have a line I won’t cross because of my own tastes. ✌🏻

🤣🤣🤣 👍

aw i love that

I have to agree. And add to that the Frog Legs; well, there wasn't much in this video that was bizarre. Except maybe the really fatty pig portions of the trotter and snout. I have never learned to handle pure fat!!!. Just a personal aversion. Texture, perhaps. But I was surprised he didn't have more dishes of wild animals like rabbit, squab, dove, or pheasant. As for fried liver, that has been a favorite of mine since I was a young child. Although we always had the heathen version of liver and onions!

You mean amazing

Welcome 🙂

I hope you can book 2 monthes then, because as France is a very old country, each 100km you will find completely new different specialties (North, West, East, South-West and South-East of France look and taste like whole different countries) !

You are more than welcome !!! come over here :-) Restaurant are much cheaper in France than in the UK or in the US, trust me ;-) Happy & proud that some of you like our cuisine. thank-you

There is a difference between store snails and fresh snails bro. Even more when its prepare by a chief in Paris, which is the most expensive city in France. For exemple, this snails recipe is from burgundy, and in burgundy you can eat it for a small price and it gonna taste better than any parisian restaurant

make sure they are Helix pomatia , if not they are Lissachatina fulica african snail which are very chewy

hello how are you, i really do love your comment, i must confess i was impressed by your world.

It's also very common in many countries in Europe. Pork, veal and lamb liver taste almost the same (a bit gamey), while the chickens liver is lighter in flavor.

If you were french you would not believe that it is a strange food which and you having heritage and family that eats that food makes it more of a regular food whereas some people may not have had liver and eating liver isn't as ubiquitous as other parts of the animal which I think is the comparison as it is "strange" to the majority of the people watching his videos. :D

There was nothing in the video that made me hungry... except for the mashed potatoes and fries. I don't really like liver, escargot or extremely fatty cuts of meat. I cannot say that I don't like frogs legs, or beef tartare because I have yet to try it. And although these are foods that, I have never tried and are not common at all to me... I will try anything once. Well, anything except horse.

@@ImNotInLoveItsJustAGameWeDo horse tartare is mindblowing

Been in France didn't like those foods at all brrrrrrr

@@barrydeiter1192 you're the problem then not the food

@@pbz4994 different taste.

@V for good reason

Would you say the same about the exotic foods in Vietnam?

France is the most beautiful and has the true beautiful people

@V it's not difficult to find great cheap menus in the countryside of france, of course in the tourist parts of paris it is going to be pricier

@@hangxoft2925 Each food has its own identity and upsides, vietnamese food is amazing and in terms of street food probably more varied than french food. But in terms of looking classy in high end restaurants, french food probably wins. 1-1.

Oh and btw, all of the regions in France have so much specialities, or products in term of food ! Like u can find "Quiche lorraine" "choucroute" / "cassoulet" / "andouillette" / "bouillabaisse" / "tartiflette" / "Waterzooi" AND SO MANY MORE !! If one day u go in France, please visit Paris yes, and others regions if you can, for the mountains, the sea, the view of beautiful things, different cultures and architecture types ALL around the country. In "Alsace" or "Moselle" you can find germans architecture due to the german occupation in 1940. In the north, red bricks in buildings AND.... I think you know for Paris. It's not because I'm french but except the politic, French is a very good country (to visit at least, living here is a bit different but better than much countries)

Ortolan may be awesome but it is an endangered specie, so no don’t eat it. But canard au sang is one of the best dish ever!

@@adrienhb8763 it's not an endangered specie, at least in france

in what world ? ^^

& yeah pork foot are sticky af , smells not very nice when u cook it too , not the best thing but back in 1950 & even 2000 it was appreciate by " old " people.
