I wish I'd had shade like this all summer
As a Pole, I find this offensive. We're more than just potato munchers.
We're also potato drinkers.
Not for nothin, we love to see a territorially intact Ukraine.
I like it how the map essentially says "we cannot find anything proper to complain about Italy."
“We stole half our flavor profiles from them and refuse to admit it, so we pretend like anything we stole is actually just common knowledge.”
France is good for bread and wine. French food is basically Italian food without pasta. Lots of butter and salt with no competing flavors. Want something with your savory dish? Fuck you, pair it with a wine. Want spicy? Fuck you that's not tradition!
French food is bad. It tastes fine but the ceremony and culture around it are toxic.
"French food is really good." they told me during months I spent traveling all around country over many years. "It's just complicated and most people don't know how to cook it."
Me "So in the past two weeks I have tried 14 different places in 6 different cities and all 14 meals have been horrible. Okay..."
There's a reason why a tire company publishing a list of recommended places to eat when traveling around France became so popular. Its not because the average place to get food was good.
Mexico: Stopping at a gas station, a little old lady hand rolling tortillas and cooking them on an open bbq. Her "Tacos?" Me nodding vigorously"Si, si, si" They were insanely delicious.
Got to love the French calling Italian food overrated, when their international recognized dish consists of black coffee and a cigarette.
As someone who was lucky enough to visit Italy, it is far from overrated.
My friend from Finland (of all places) went there and said it was overrated
Maybe he lacks taste buds, biologically?
Honestly I'd believe that for all of Scandinavia, but it also might be that the salt liquorice burns them off at a young age.
It took me far too long to realise that, by "rotten cabbage", they mean Sauerkraut.

The true overrated cuisine is the french one
Danish pastry is not soggy. On the contrary, it's a lot crispier than what the rest of Europe is eating.
Perhaps they're thinking of the pastry called a danish, which is not Danish. We ourselves call it a Berliner, but I think it's actually from Austria.
why are you linking to reddit instead of just posting the image itself? the reddit poster didn't create this, you don't need to credit them....
Ha ha, that was pretty good. I feel like the Uk, scotland, and ireland, if not wales too, could be good puns even as the vast atlantic ocean is a good single pun.
One day we’ll catch them on film enjoying a Greggs sausage roll and the charade will be over.
"Marie Antoinette" is probably the strangest food on that map. I had no idea about French meat preferences.
PS: I wonder where the Viennoiserie is from.
Soggy pastry? I'm a Dane, and I have absolutely no clue, what that's supposed to refer to?
Where’s the UK? Should be “frightened of flavor.”
I don't understand. The vast Atlantic Ocean is right there.
So utterly irrelevant it bares no mention. ^/s
French food is under spiced.
Like lots of useful techniques, don’t get me wrong, but, no. The culinary tradition is limited in regards to scope of ingredients and flavor profiles.
At least the Germans are humble enough to eagerly adopt new spices and seasonings.
Edit: croissants are from Austria
Completely valid criticism for hungary. I just put like a kilo of paprika on like 100 grams of chicken 💀
I love this insult between France and the Netherlands:
Having 50 varieties of Gouda doesn't make you a cheese country
checks out. i had rotten cabbage today.
While "rotten cabbage" seems to be a correct descriptor, I was somewhat aghast to not be included in the potato munchers. I mean... people are out there calling us potatoes... but then I looked it up and Germany is in the lower midfield of how much potatoes countries in the EU eat.
I'm tipping my hat to you Latvia. Respect. 112,7 kg per person per year. That is nearly double the 57,4 kg per person per year we eat in Germany.
Edit: HAH! That seemed to have been older data, take THAT Latvia! Instead I must now bow to our new starchy overlords, the Poles.
