What makes a croissant is the shape, like a crescent you know ^^
Also I would add bœuf bourguignon or beef burgundy
It's a must try really if you ever come to France
About foie gras, it's really an American misconception that geese are being poorly treated, chickens in America are treated a lot worse yet we never hear complaints about it
Here it's mostly free range farm and you have to know that geese are migratory birds so they would naturally overfeed before migration to pack enough for the travel
It might seems cruel seeing a human put a tube in the throat of a goose but it's not harmful for them and trust me I've been in those farms multiple times and geese actually wait in line to get fed, it's not even that different from how birds act in the wild naturally and how parents feed their baby birds
My personal favorite French cheese is Saint-Nectaire. It is unpasteurized so be careful.
Being from Lorraine, I have to speak up; Quiche Lorraine isn't made with cheese. Bacon, eggs and crème fraîche, that's all.
Otherwise it becomes a Bacon & Cheese Quiche, which is also very good, but not Lorraine.
Is there a video who reacts to this "McJibbin" video who reacts to this "Wolters World Eats" video ?…… with a picture in picture in picture ? 🤣
I m French, and refuse to eat escargots or frog legs. About croissants: you also have "croissant aux amandes", very good but you won't eat two in a row. You can also open them and spread some nutella in them (yummy 🙂 ), or use them as a base to make some sort of croque-monsieur (with sauce bechamel/ham/cheese, a few minutes in the oven), that's delicious. Foie gras should go with a sweet/soft wine, there are different sort of breads to eat it, in fact a lot of various ways to eat foie gras.
if you're a "cheese" person, you should also try savoyards meals like tartiflette, croziflette, fondue (with cèpes 🤤🤤 and side cold meats) or raclette.
We go for "Frites" and not "French fries", because in France we don't like generic names, we like to make names and also we don't really like to put the word "French" in our dish because we as French know they are French, but we can have some precision by saying the region in the name of the dish like "Poulet de Bresse à la crème" which mean "Bresse cream chicken", Bresse being a very small region in east France (but known to have the best chicken in the world).
For the Croque Monsieur, the recipe can variate, and this one might be the most known but is really not the best at all.
9:00 , European countries are way older than the US, so our countries were built way before the first cars appears. The US started to build their first cities when there already were horse-drawn carriages, so you've built your cities to facilitate the use of those and you had way more space because you had not many buildings, while we in Europe only accomodates our streets with roads we added later.
And only one more add to my comment : if you want to eat well in France, go anywhere but Paris. In Paris, you may find a bit of every part of french cuisine, but, it's not that good, it's expensive and there is parisians (this last one is a joke). For example, if you want to eat duck, go in the south west in Bordeaux, if you want Crêpes or Quiche then go to Bretagne or Normandie, if you want Fondue go to Savoie, if you want Escargots go to Bourgogne, if you want any type of chicken go to Bresse or to Lyon, and it goes on and on. Paris does not have a lot of good specialities besides Macarons and is not a great place to eat. People who say Paris is the best place to eat are just delusional and are just biased because of the "parisian culture" the world believe to know because of movies. France has more to offer than Paris.
Good day 😉
The city you like at 09:00 is Strasbourg. ("Petite France" place)
As a french, I highly recommend soupe à l'oignon and magret de canard.
And also cheese, but don't buy one type of cheese you have to buy multiple different ones to get a plateau de fromages and try out.
Quiche Lorraine is very hit or miss, it's unlikely I will like it but when it hits it's terribly delicious.
Lol, advice, dont come to France, or if you do, dont learn French, learn Arabic and African dialects, France doesnt exists anymore. Socialists Fascists are in charge for 3 more years at least, that's if they dont cheat the elections like they did for the assembly recently
He definitely selected a few meals that are, let's say, "typical" of an American tourist in France… He barely scratched the surface of what's available/nice to try, but at least these are easy to find (escargots and frog legs are not that common though… I'm about 40 and have had frog legs only once in my entire life, and escargots maybe once every 3-4 years!). If you travel to any region further though, you'll find many different meals that are typical of these regions. The closer you get to a neighboring country, the more local meals you'll find that are inspired from them (fried food is more common in the north for example, similar to some meals you'd find in the UK… and in the south east, it's more about vegetables and olive oil, sea food etc…). If you travel to France and want to try our food, you HAVE to go further than just Paris. Also FYI, although there's a traditional recipe for the quiche lorraine, in some regions they'll make it with meat and cheese, in others it's more about vegetables, and so on… It's a quick and easy meal that anyone can make, in the family we tend to basically finish things we have left in the fridge by making a quiche lorraine. Croque monsieur is fairly easy to make as well, the little secret is to cover the bread with bechamel sauce for extra flavor. Add an egg on top and you get a croque madame!
mettre du fromage dans la quiche lorraine est un crime contre l'humanité
Hi from Brittany! Wish you the best of travel in France Hope you gonna visit us and enjoy it a lot! 🤗🤗
10:36 just in case, frogs legs arent common at all, most of peoples never ate this
Escargot don't taste like seafood, they taste kind of earthy, like a woodland mushroom. And they're drowned in melted garlic and parsley compound butter.
Hi there, Snails just taste of garlic butter, as that is what they are served in.. the snails are cooked in it and loaded back into the shells just to serve and so you can pick them out again… I think I've had them once in my life and is definitely not a dish you see eaten very often in most areas outside the hyper touristy areas..
Hey man, there is actually no cheese in quiche lorraine, there is ham , crème fraîche, eggs, milk and love.
If you put cheese in, and you can, it becomes a tarte.
4:19 this is not a "Pain au Chocolat", c'est un Drops ou pain aux pepites de chocolat ou Suisse aux pepites de chocolat
At 9.02 it's not Paris but Strasbourg, in the east of france, at the border with germany. Many pictures are from differents town, essentialy Paris and Strasbourg
a trip in France or in Italy is the fastest way to take Weight :')
for your information at 9:24 the city in video is not Paris , It's Strasbourg a big city in estern France. if you want to make a trip in France Paris is a good location for museum and building but the True france is not in Paris. take time if you can to Visit cities like Arras, Strasbourg, Colombe la rouge, La rochelle, St Malo, … there is a plenty of city cool to visit with various landscape and each region as his own plate. Aligot , carbonade Flamande, magret de canard aux peches rotis, Boeuf bourguignon , Flamenkuche….
Enjoy your stay and take time to visit our country 🙂
just a little point French People from waiter to cashier appreciate if you say Bonjour (Hello) Au revoir (good bye) and Merci (thanks) that's typical french habbit.
en France nous avons la meilleur nourriture au monde
Snails have no taste, only texture. The only taste is the garlic and parsley butter. You can get a good idea of the taste by taking some butter, mix with garlic and parsley, take some bread, cut in half, spread the tasty butter, toast in the oven. Delicious, without the snails.
You may be surprised by french bread because it doesn't have sugar in it.
Absolutely don't order a crepe with nutella. Chocolate sauce is great, but no nutella.
Frog legs taste between white fish and chicken.
7min49sec Not in paris. Maybe in alsace (east of france), seeing the architecture of the buildings in the background. The dish you see is a "flamenkuch" or "tarte flambée"(typicall speciality in there). Delisious though.
8min24sec It's the Starsbourg cathedral
8min52sec It's "petite France" in starsbourg
Paris is a beautiful place but that's not "France", it's just Paris. It's like, as a french who visit New York or Washington and i say: "well… this is america"
As a french person:
– Frog legs: they taste like bland chicken with nothing much to eat. I'm sure there is people making great ones in some restaurants, but I honestly don't see any hype with those. Just get a good chicken instead.
– Snails: taste like a piece of (relatively disgusting) chewy rubber. The only thing that's divine with those is the garlic butter sauce.
– Foie gras: it's pretty delicious and mostly eaten for christmas/new year as an expensive food, but I honestly feel bad about it and I'm considering going for alternatives. I do understand why people have strong feelings against the force feeding.
5:41 : tarte amandine (apple and almond tart) 5:45 : raspberry tart 5:54 looks like a rhubarb tart to me, but maybe not, indeed it looks like the tip of an asparagus is showing
7:20 just a small error, he is talking about confit de canard but he show a picture of magret de canard, both from duck for sure, but different parts.
both are great and should be tried. btw for me the best way to eat the magret de canard is with the fat part of it but need to be heated for long at low heat so the fat decreases a lot in size just to be pretty thin while not cooking the meat, then snack it at high heat.
Je me suis arrêté à la soupe à l'oignon, deux énormes clichés pour commencer, c'est l'indigestion assurée.😉
