Ok Jow Forums lets settle this. Who has the best food in Europe?

Try asking the three at the top to name Italian dishes other than pizza and pasta.

french breakfast
italian dinner

French deserts/sweets >Italian deserts/sweets

Italian main dishes>French main dishes

for an everyday meal = italy food just cause of pasta
for elaborate meal = french food

>tfw live in the European country with the worst food by far

At least you have pickled herring!

You guys still have fresh fish and nice quality food

I feel like less people have tried French food, it's not nearly as popular in the UK as Italian

Weird, because your flag isn't a Union Jack.

ratatouille, creme brulee, bouillabaisse
italian cuisine is good too but ever since it has spread out to the entire world it has become more of fastfood like mexican or chinese food. french cuisine is most exotic and imo classy.

I like Italian food when I want relatively simple, easy to cook dishes that don't require too many steps. I make French dishes when I want something more elaborate and a good dessert.

Boeuf bourguignon, souffle, galette du roi

Besides pastries and several types of bread, none of our foods are as widespread as pasta and pizza. Also, the dishes you eat in French restaurants most of the time aren't traditional French dishes but original recipes, so most people haven't really tried our traditional cuisine.

i don't get this meme. scandinavia has some delicious food

>French restaurants
*French restaurants abroad

So does the UK but we've got a bad rep so just roll with it

Quality restaurant tied or small advantage for France
Deserts France easy
Italy wins on pretty much everything else, especially on the daily family cousine
If you take 10 random people from both countries and you ask them to cook a lunch with their nation's dishes Italy wins and is not even close

What are some examples of traditional cuisine? The peasant foods or something that follows the original recipe? I've been doing a lot of cuisine classique style foods lately so I'm curious as to what would make it really "French".

Yeah, I'm mostly referring to the peasant foods. France was one of the least centralized countries in Europe, so each of our regions developed their cuisine separately from each other and that degree of variety is really what defines our traditional food culture in my opinion.
As for what makes them French, well, I don't really know. But you never see these dishes abroad because they're not very famous outside of France, so just reproducing them would be more than enough.
