French People Try American McDonald's French Fries For The First Time

not our fault you can't make fries the correct(french) way buddy

Next episode should be French qts try out the BAC(big American cock)

This extends well beyond fries, Pierre. Everything you people do that involves being outside your safespace be it travel, tasting a foreign food, anything. The moment you do it you're all like a bunch of limp wristed turbo queer primadonnas acting like little princess as if your life was ruined over a trivial thing.

>actually projecting that hard
this is exactly what your hipsters do whenever they come to europe
north americans invented the soyboy subculture, not europeans

McD fries are that horrid restaurant's only redeeming feature, in ma 'pinion

He is projecting pretty hard but he is right about the fries. McDonald's makes some great fries. France has great cuisine but your fries are lacking.

because you are an autist

You are an autist

well eating fries isn't much of a tradition outside of their birthplace(northern france) where the best fries in the world are served in trucks called "friteries"

fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frite#Origine
the belgian claim is actually really weak desu
it relies on a manuscript that hasn't been released to the public and urban legends, complete joke

I'll take your word for it since Belgians are retarded.

whats the appeal of this videos? my country loves them so much its stupid
>le hot food amirite

How Dutch people respond to French food.

american mcdonalds is the worst in the world because of HFCS and corn-fed beef

>corn fed beef
lol

>american mcdonalds is the worst in the world

Because they use New Zealand beef.

>be yuro
>go to america and eat poor people slop
>get surprised that it doesn't taste good
Here's a tip. Americans aren't eating this stuff because it tastes good. They eat it because their fat asses are addicted to food and it's cheap and doesn't require cooking skills that they don't have.

>poor people slop
Basically American food in a nutshell

Is this something i should be concerned with?

America has a respectable cheese culture. You'll be surprised as an italian if you ever go there.

Are they expats ?
Expats are a shame, don't leave the motherland

no, just frogs being recorded by buzzfeed while eating food they dislike for the american man's entertainment

Only Americans find appeal in this

Fat chips >>>>>>>> thin chips

I love McDonalds fries.
Normally I eat thick Belgian fries but the only reason I ever step into McDonalds are the fries. They’re very good

The best lamb comes from New Zealand. They lovingly tend to them like a bull does a Kobe cow.

>thick Belgian fries
They're called chips.

>Fries are French

kek Imagine having such a shitty taste. Did you even tried homemade fries at least once?

mcdonalds opened in my city
should I visit it?

kek this since when? I know they're belgian / dutch. Fries are popular in Bretagne though. They eat tons of moules et frites (yummy)

If you never tried it go. Burgers are tasty but remember that is shit food and should not be consumed often

>America has a respectable cheese culture
kek. Jokes apart interesting. I have to say bongs have some good cheese, like cheddar for example (real one not that orange shit)

I read an article from BBC a while ago, it's still not clear that Fries were invented by the belge nor the french
also britbongs and canuck want to participate
>bbc.com/travel/story/20180730-can-belgium-claim-ownership-of-the-french-fry

since they were invented, you got tricked by the cultureless belgians trying to make themselves relevant

Basically, it's as said. It's unclear whether they were invented by the Belgians or the French, but the French claim is actually stronger because fries can be attested in French cooking books from the early 19th century on, while the Belgian claim is based on a nonexistent manuscript and urban legends. Belgians managed to make everyone believe they are the sole inventors of fries by basing their entire national identity around the dish and crying about French culinary hegemony.
They undeniably make the best fries, though.

We call these "Flemish fries" and the nasty thin ones from Mcfatty are called French fries by English speaking cunts. There is no such thing as "French fries".

Those are called german fries here

There's no such thing as Flemish fries either. If Belgium did in fact invent fries despite all evidence indicating they didn't, the Walloons were certainly behind it.

Are the not baked in a pan with spices instead of deep fried?
>There's no such thing as Flemish fries either
Yes there is. And French fries are a made up name by fast food chains. Deal with it.

In the restaurant I worked at whole potatoes were baked, then cut into large wedges, then deep fried, seasoned, and sold under the name german fries.

>French fries are a made up name by fast food chains
Factually wrong:
>Thomas Jeffersonhad "potatoes served in the French manner" at aWhite Housedinner in 1802.[12][13]The expression "French fried potatoes" first occurred in print in English in the 1856 workCookery for Maids of All Workby E. Warren: "French Fried Potatoes. – Cut new potatoes in thin slices, put them in boiling fat, and a little salt; fry both sides of a light golden brown colour; drain."[14]This account referred to thin, shallow-fried slices of potato (French cut) – it is not clear where or when the now familiar deep-fried batons or fingers of potato were first prepared. In the early 20th century, the term "French fried" was being used in the sense of "deep-fried" for foods likeonion ringsorchicken.[15][16]

Weird how you can't copy paste Wikipedia passages from a phone without fucking up the formatting. Anyway, have the article itself: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_fries#Etymology

Those are fucking chips not fries.

You're grasping at straws there, because they're functionally the same thing. If the Flemish achievement was to change the crescent cut into batons, then I'm sorry but I believe that most people wouldn't consider them the inventors of fries.

>because they're functionally the same thing.
NO! They are not even prepared the same way. The fucking Romans already used oil for cooking. Maybe we could say that they invented your precious French fries. And we could also add champagne on that list. They also did it first.

Fries are fucking disgustang

>The Belgian weekly magazine Pourquoi pas ? published in 1985 an article by Christian Souris that popularized a false affirmation by Belgian historian Jo Gérard, according to which fried potatoes existed at the end of the 17th century. The article quoted a manuscript written by the historian's ancestor in 1781: "Inhabitants of Namur, Ardenne, and Dinant have the custom of fishing small fry in the Meuse and frying them to improve their unremarkable taste, especially poor people. But when the freeze seizes the streams, and fishing becomes hazardous, inhabitants cut potatoes in the form of small fishes and fry them like the fish. I recall that this practice dates back to more than a hundred years." It would place the date around the 1680s. However, this manuscript was never found to this day.
>Pierre Leclercq, another Belgian historian reminds, thanks to Fernand Pirotte's works on the potato, that it only reached the region of Namur around 1735, and considers that these people could only have carved and fried these potatoes from 1739 on. In the 18th century, fat was a luxury for the impoverished, butter was too expensive, vegetable fat was sparingly eaten on bread or in soup, that is why frying was extremely rare among peasants. It was therefore extremely unusual to find a frying pan in the kitchen equipment of a humble person of the 18th century.

>On the French side, it is argued that the fried potato was born on the bridges of Paris in 1789 during the French Revolution, a few years after Antoine Parmentier promoted the potato in 1771 at the contest of the Academy of Besançon. Maurice Edmond Sailland, advocate of the cuisine du terroir and prince of the gourmets, declared in 1927 : "Fried potatoes are one of the most spiritual creations of the Parisian."
>The French argue that some books dating back to the 18th century mention fries; for example, La Cuisinière républicaine, collection of potato recipes published in 1794 in Paris by madame Mérigot. Fries as we know them today aren't mentioned, but there is a recipe of "fried potatoes", which describes the frying of slices of potatoes previously soaked in a potato flour-based batter. Another example: in 1823, Louis Eustache Audot gave, in La Cuisinière de la campagne et la ville, a recipe of fried potatoes: "Cut your raw potatoes in slices, dip them in hot cooking oil; and when they're brittle and of a beautiful color, remove them, sprinkle thin salt on them and serve them hot." Similarly to the previous recipe, the potatoes are cut in slices and not in small sticks. According to Karen Hess, American culinary historian, it seems that the slicing, which appears in all of the oldest recipes of fried potatoes, was then considered more stylish than the stick shape.

They weren't chips, but fries cut in slices instead of batons, prepared the same way as modern fries.

Theres hundreds, thousands of these videos where ignorant zoomers eat food from other countries, and they're all pointless. I don't really see the purpose of this thread, don't you guys get tired of the endless shit flinging and arguing over nothing?

>don't you guys get tired of the endless shit flinging and arguing over nothing?
no

Fair enough

No. Fuck Belgians tb h, I hate their stupid non-country that should have been divided between the Netherlands and France after WW2. Walloons were singing the Marseillaise during the French Revolution, not La Brabançonne.

>the potatoes are cut in slices and not in small sticks. According to Karen Hess, American culinary historian, it seems that the slicing, which appears in all of the oldest recipes of fried potatoes, was then considered more stylish than the stick shape.
Those are chips. And are baked in vegetable oil and not animal fat. This is not the same product.

>don't you guys get tired of the endless shit flinging and arguing over nothing? GET. OUT.

>arguing over strips of fried potato

lmaoing @ the NPCs ITT

I enjoy the sight of triggered French "people".

the only people not npcs are the ones who have committed theft or murder

"Slices" doesn't mean they were cut in thin slices like chips. And the oil doesn't matter as long as they are fried, hence the name of "fries".

>supposed to be a thread making fun of Americans
>ends up with Euros arguing over french fries

B*lgians aren't human

The Frenchman is in the right but I dont understand why everyone else doesnt realize it

says the NPC

says the NPC

>implying even for one single second that flash fried frozen potato strips are in any way shape or form superior to home made fries from fresh potatoes

I remember when I was 19 and thought it was deep to pretend McDonalds tastes bad. It's shit and you shouldn't eat it but McNuggys and fresh fries are incredible.

typical NPC

McDonalds is hit or miss. Sometimes it tastes decent, sometimes you get a burger that isn't exactly fresh. I got sick because of a big mac once, and I haven't eaten McDonalds since then. Completely switched to Burger King, which I hear is terrible in America, but it's actually great in France as far as fast food goes, because there are very few restaurants nationwide which allows them to focus on quality.
Also, you have to keep in mind that the video in OP says "American McDonalds". It's not like they've never tasted McDonalds fries, only the French recipe is probably a lot less saltier. I tasted American Coca-Cola once and it was a lot sweeter, so I assume it also applies to fries.

>the best fucking fries in the world
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

you can unironically make better fries at home you pleb

Some oregano and some graviera on top.
Tzatziki or ketchup.
