Russians actually call russian salad “olivier”, after the guy who made it, but it was invented in Russia by a man that was born there, so I am not sure you can say it is French.
seems Olivier was French/belgian as his name entail: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivier_salad
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucien_Olivier
I suppose he was of franco-belgian descent, but he was born in Russia, raised in Russia, died in Russia, and invented his salad in Russia as a chief of a russian restaurant.
Even the french agree: “Lucien Olivier est un chef russe d’origine franco-belge” - from Wikipaedia.
Also:
“Nationalité - russe”
What’s with the Health Hazard?
Probably lutefisk, fish cured in lye.
Technically the French call the puff pastries most countries seem to equate to typically French (the croissant f.i.) after Vienna. Those are called Vienoiseries
Were the French always a bunch of pretentious elitist pricks or did that only start after some specific event?
Their food is good but it certainly isn’t significantly better than many other places.
They still smoke like chimneys.
They are still pretty misogynistic.
They make terrible cars and pretty much all their manufacturing may as well have their quality control run by Helen Keller.
Their “world famous” city smells like piss and is a filthy mess (unless they decide to clean it up for something like the Olympics).
Their police are notorious for abusing their power and attempting to silence reporters or the media.
You seem to be getting emotional over a joke cartoon and your own preconceptions.
The truth is everyone around the world sucks about the same, and drawing broad generalities about millions based on memes and confirmation bias is ill-advised.
No some people definitely suck more than others.
For example: The French.
Haha
Rotten cabbage rocks, especially the Korean varieties
Lol, the French cannot even make wine as good as Italians can and they think they can touch their food?
LOL, that’s funny. As an italian, I regret not having tried real french cuisine yet.
They can’t even make wine as good as you can. They shouldn’t even think to criticize the food
Marie Antoinette?
What cuisine should that be?A fillet of some kind.
Cake, maybe?
Eat the rich
More like according an American person who identifies as French.
“Ice cube salad”?
Our Finnish cuisine is so non-existent people can’t even make jokes about it.
“You like black licorice? We can fix that.”
I craaaave salmiakki sometimes. Keep a stash on hand for those times. Delicious stuff.
Better you than me.
Uuuhh… the starvation bark bread? I think there was a reindeer meat pizza that one some award.
Whatever, our own one thing is a vaguely modified American dish, and comes from Quebec, so you’re not alone.
That’s not cuisine, that’s a dish. It’s a Finnish dish, but the cuisine is technically Italian.
We don’t have a cuisine in the same way in the North as mainland Europe does. Like do you know what the national dish of Finland is? Karjalanpaisti, Karelian stew. Which when traditionally made, has the following ingredients ONLY; beef cubes, pork cubes, a mildly salted pot of water.
Heat for several hours.
That’s it.
Like people joke about how bland British food is but it’s literally on fire compared to our traditional dishes. Like a shepherd’s pie made with a red wine and even bland-ish British spices would be absolutely gorgeous compared to Karelian stew.
I think the national dish really reflects the Finnish spirit well though.
Mongolian “cuisine” is kind of the same. At some point you’re far enough north meat is the only reliable ingredient. It’s remarkable how well the Koreans and Russians have managed to make out.
I think the national dish really reflects the Finnish spirit well though.
In which way do you mean?
Well Mongolia is quite a bit further South than even the furthest part of Finland. Finland being around 59° and Mongolia 52°. But it’s warmer here, more likely. Because we get some of the warming effects of the Gulf.
Mongolia is mostly desert and we have the sea and forests. My point here being there’s tons of plants and whatnot. I understanding having to eat just horse if there’s literally nothing else around, but… spices would’ve been more common in that part of the world though, so I wonder if the meat got some spices?
We didn’t really even have peppers lol. Could’ve just thrown in some thyme and carrots and onions and whatnot at the least.
I’ve also heard a thing in which sometimes in hot parts of the world like say India, some of the heavy spice mixes originated because the lower classes would often have near spoiled meat and you wanted the spices to make up for the poor quality.
Here in Finland storing meat wouldn’t have been much of an issue because of the cold.
I think the national dish really reflects the Finnish spirit well though.
In which way do you mean?
Half pigs, half cows, mildly salty and without any passion (spice).
if ćevapičići is famine food call me starved
I think this belongs more in !cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee
But I chuckled so thanks for sharing
No such thing as too much pepper
"inventors"
is the best diss i’ve ever seen for modern swedish foodi asked a friend from italy what she thought about our pizza and she basically said “as long as i don’t think of it as pizza it’s fine”
she and her bf would regularly hang out with the guy who ran the only italian pizzeria in town and they would shit-talk our food for hours. mad respect.
Every frenchperson who came to serbia eats like they have never tasted food before. Dunno
