2003 Americans: “Freedom made this”
That was in 2001 iirc
2003 was the Iraq invasion that France rightly opposed and led to the creation of freedom fries.
America… Fuck Yeah!
French is actually the language of the fries.
Curious, so why is it I never heard them talk in French?
You don’t listen.
Bonjour
Que tal?
Well, have you given them any reason to want to talk to you? Or are you just murdering them all slowly with your mastication?
See, if you just sat there and killed a large stack of my friends and countrymen, I wouldn’t want to talk to you either.
I’m not telling you anything you murderer!
I’m not telling you anything you murderer!
You wrote a whole comment. Checkmate liberal
You sure got me!
The term “frenching” is also a culinary term that means preparing food for even cooking and to make it visually appealing.
Man, we did that in middle school too
Even though we werent visually appealing…
Says you, I slayed.
Potatoes are a food native to the Americas and the Belgians claiming them is cultural appropriation. French fries are Chilean.
This is a joke, right?
Spaghetti is an Asian-Native American fusion dish.
Kinda but also, it’s true. Potatoes come from the Incan Empire
Which has practically nothing to do with Chile lol more like Peru / Bolivia
All three, tbh
What about Chile fries? (I jest).
Isn’t it short for french-cut fried potatoes and had nothing to do with France at all?
Well, France developed the cut. No?
Fun fact: what’s known in the US as “Danish pastries” are known in Denmark as wienerbrød (Vienna bread) and it turns out that both terms have some merit:
It was invented in Copenhagen by immigrants from Vienna
WIENER BREAD
🌭❔
I was curious about French Toast the other day. Turns out it was invented by someone with the last name French and the intention was to call it French’s Toast. But when he printed the name, he forgot the apostrophe and ‘S’!
Similar story with German chocolate cake. It was German’s chocolate cake. A guy named German.
In france we call it “pain perdu”, lost bread
Who wants to claim our Brussels Sprouts? Go ahead, take them. Nobody? Well well well.
Brussels sprouts look and taste like little green brains. I have no idea what brain actually tastes like, but I imagine it’s brussels sprouts.
Brussel sprouts are delicious. Modern versions have had their bitterness bred out. Roasted until crispy with olive oil and garlic and salt and they’re fantastic.
Problem is the fools that boil or steam them. That way lies little green brains.
They taste like the worst version of a cabagge and they smell god awful while being prepared. I do believe some michelin star chef could make me a version I can eat but it would be a much more involved version not just roasted till crispy.
I promise you that roasted in olive oil with light salt and pepper until crispy is the best. But taste is relative.
I will try this
While roasting them add some diced dates, bacon, onions and maybe peppers and you have the best dish ever made
IDK if it’s cause I’m starving right now or what but this sounds amazing.
Then carefully remove the sprouts and eat the rest.
Btw, you can cook and taste brain. It’s not the most common thing to find, but you can sometimes find it at a butcher shop, along with the insides of other animals
It’s actually super good, like meat flavored butter
🤮
The human brain is the best! sarcasm
In Poland we have Greek style fish, Ukrainian borscht and Russian pierogi. None of which have anything to do with the place they are named after.
I forgot about French pastry. Which I just puff pastry, but we call it French pastry for some reason. Doesn’t it come from Ireland?
A little correction, the name “ruskie pierogi” comes not from Russia but from Red Ruthenia/Red Rus, or Ruś Czerwona in Polish, a region in western Ukraine.
I thought pierogi was polish 🤔
As all dishes, it’s not from a specific country, but from a region of the world. Eastern Europ in this case. When we fill them with potatoes, we call it russian style. Apparently Russians like carbs.
But… alliteration is always awesome.
We could have called them Flemish fries.
Alternatively, alliteration am always awesome
No, Freedom made this.
Germany is French, right?
That’s the Belgian flag. But don’t worry, they are so rare and tiny, that it doesn’t make a difference. We eat more Pommes in Germany anyway!
belgium is waffle france
But still, Germany is French right?
Actually…my nation made it. Every popular food item you can think of actually.
Then I spread them around your planet and had my agents whisper in people’s ears to say things about them all.
Finally, an explanation for the universality of Swedish meatballs.
Oh hey, OpenDyslexic font.
We call them pommes frites in Denmark
