When I was a kid, I got to know European food through advertisements.
On a big plate, there was a piece of meat. It was covered with a beautiful milky sauce.
There were some vegetables and some powdered stuff on top.
The size of the plate and the food were about 2/10.
I wondered how those foods could make me feel full.
And in that commercial, Europeans eat very politely.
In one dish, they eat only one bite and chew for a long time with a polite manner. Thai people will say that this is eating like a gentleman!!!
Importantly, every dish must be left on the plate to show that they are not stingy.
Until there was a time in Thailand where there was a culture of leaving food on the plate, not finishing the food, to show that you are a gentleman, equal to the Western world!!!
But then one day, a group of people couldn't stand the humor of those advertisements anymore. They made a new advertisement to fight back.
And it describes the hardships of fishermen who go out to catch fish in the deep sea to feed the people.
The content is as follows:
Fish are rare
We have to go to sea
Transport from far away
Use ice, waste oil
Refrigeration wastes electricity
Cooking also uses gas
Energy must run out
The younger generation, please memorize this by heart
Since then, people in the country have abandoned Western values through advertising.
My comment is just to tell you a story about the Eastern world's era that looked at the Western world at that time. I don't mean any harm.
And if you read it to the end
I want to tell you one thing
(My hands are sore)
Love it ! 😍

Now that is real french cuisine you tried in those two videos! Most people usually try the few known dishes. French cuisine has for a long time been more about wasting nothing of the animal, hence pork intestine, lamb liver or brain. Cassoulet was originally a stew made with beans and all the leftovers. Snails were eaten as a last resort. Many of those dishes were created by poor people in time of starvation, and became popular overtime
“La politique, c'est comme l'andouillette, ça doit sentir un peu la merde, mais pas trop.” – Edouard Herriot
La cuisine française et italienne sont les meilleures cuisines familiales.
Le lapin a le même goût que le chat. D ailleur je connais un resto
Qui s appelle "le lapin qui miaule. 😅
I love that you respect French gastronomy as much as I respect Italian gastronomy. I subscribe
Andouillette is an acquired taste 😉
Love it❤
It's a naive question, but in Italy there isn't any "foie de veau" ? it's a very usual plate in France. Its very good with parsley and garlic, but people prepare it also with red wine and oignons sauce. For Andouillette and snails, or you like it or you hate it :). And cervelle d'agneau is a gift of God for me, it's so good haha
Lapin à la moutarde! Omg I was such a fan of this when I was a kid, my mom would cook it and she's a helluva good cook, always tried to be the best cook. I have a mustard (and beer) based recipe I do kind of like a sauce for pasta (usually small macaronis).
Chopped chicken breasts marinated in mustard, then simmered in 50cl of blond beer (I always use abbaye beers), a table spoon of flour, with chopped carrots, laurel, parsley, onions & garlic, and a spoon of sour cream at the very end. And of course salt and pepper.
It's a bit tricky, sometimes it'll leave a tiny bitter taste in the mouth, sometimes it's perfect comfort food with no bitterness whatsoever, I'm still not sure how sometimes it comes out with this little bitterness.
I tried different timings to keep the chicken tender and juicy (after 40min in the pot in dries out a bit since it's chopped). If properly gauged, you can squeeze the mustard off the chicken and have this simmer for 30min and add the chicken at the end for several minutes, the taste will be the same if done properly. If you simmer the chicken breasts in full, not chopped, it'll eventually maintain its tenderness and juiciness but then you have to chop it in your plate.
Andouyette…
PRonounce
Hello near Italy you have "les grands buffets" you must test that
I could never eat bran and andouillette, worst food in the world probably to me
French cuisine in this video : tourist food in Paris
You seems like a truly nice person.
Next time you go in France, and only if you like the andouillette: try the "Tripe à la mode de Caen", or i think in English : Caen-style tripe. I as a Normand i don't like it but i heard praise this specialty all the time.
Continue to have great food in different country !
Andouillette must be well washed during the preparation, so as NOT smell strongly. It is best grilled on a bar-b-q, it's just divine.
France and Italy, the two daughters always fighting each other, but hey, it’s family.
Andouillettes taste like poop and that's why people like it. I mean it's not good… but it's good. Both at the same time. Which becomes like a kink.
If you like Food and France , juste come to La Réunion . It's a french island near Mauritius Island and where the food is incredible .
