      Facts, with the hat too.
      He has two weapons, a paint brush and a baguette, paint brush is an ultra rare mythical, baguette is average mythical.
      There’s also a rare card style that has Charlie sitting on the Eiffel Tower.

    As a french, it's much more common to eat mussels (without bread btw) than it is snails. I've only eaten snails once and my childhood was filled with mussels and fries

      I know England gets a bad rap, but I had some amazing food when I studied abroad there.
      But French food is so good. I still haven’t tried the snails, but I agree with the tier list assessments. Pretty much all S tier with a few A’s sprinkled in.
      And yeah, mussels I would say B or C, but I just am not a fan of the texture of them, but the sauce they are cooked in is incredible.

    The trick to enjoying escargot is that you drown the slippery little shits in garlic butter! - The bread, then acts as a platform for the contents of the shell which is filled with butter and the meat all of which you dump out onto the bread and quickly eat. The bread is toasted so it doesn’t go soggy with garlic butter - when done right this is actually fucking fantastic!

    Hi, french here, just to clarify some questions!
    The legal age for drinking here is 18
    We don't eat 500 snails a year per person, a lot of french people hate snails and it's eaten in very rare occasions such as New Year's Eve or Christmas. But we love mussels and fries!
    Also, I really don't think it's illegal to throw away spare foods. It's just illegal to pour bleach on them to prevent homeless people to search in trash bags. Actually, companies hate giving away foods, there are apps that gives you the opportunity to get a small price reduction at the end of the day before shops close (and it's only in big cities like Paris), but they're never free, and employees are fired if they give away food.

    Simple yet delicious vinaigrette recipe my family has used forever now (France):
    - tbsp dijon mustard (not sweet mustard. quantity can be adjusted to preference)
    - balsamic vinaigre
    - Olive oil
    ----> quantities of the previous 2 can vary greatly based on taste and texture preference. Taste-test and add to your liking as you go
    -pepper
    Mix all of that as violently as you'd beat a snobby noble during the 1789 revolution. You can do that by closing whatever container you are making the vinaigrette in and shaking it like it owes you money. Careful to not spill it everywhere as cleaning it is not fun
    Enjoy
    Add more oil (and/or mustard) for a thicker vinaigrette, add more vinaigre for a runnier one. Be careful not to use mustard that is really strong. Sometimes it might say "fine" and you think it's average french mustard but then it burns your nose hair... not always exactly 100% consitent to be completely honest.

      honestly (and I say this as a French guy) i'm kinda tired Americans think they have no cultural cuisine or that somehow it's inferior to other european cuisines. Yes your most known food might be fairly "vulgar" but that's in my opinion a good thing ! It means they're accessible and representative of the actual way of life of your population : on the go, easy to eat, cheap, but still good. It's the British vision of food as in just another type of fuel to get through the day, but mixed with other European cuisine, with better care given to taste and texture. American food is just fine !
      I am also glad that the chef in this video made those more "vulgar" meals for the boys, too many times are we represented trough this ratatouille ass cuisine designed only for the rich and wealthy, with 30 different ingredients but somehow only 80grams of food in the plate. Imo a good cuisine is designed by taste AND accessibility.

    How to eat mussels: Eat the first one then use its shell like tweezers to pick others out of their shells and eat them.
    Also mussels are better when eaten whole, taste AND texture wise. Also, more often than not, when they are large they are kind of gross. The ones I sometimes consume in my region are actually pretty small (Brittany). Larger ones are just more chewy and end up having a worse texture.
    Considering this is filmed in the US I'd hazard a guess most of the ingredients, especially seafood, were not imported. This likely changes the quality (just like how the best fish and chips I have ever had was in Sydney, Australia. Best damn fish I have ever eaten and I was never able to replicate the taste when I went to live in America).

    One of the best meals I've ever had in my life was in Germany. It was a schnitzel with some fried potatoes, cranberry sauce, beer, and the best mustard I've ever had in my life. I forgot what the place was called, but it was amazing. I don't think you could ever bring someone in to make something that good. That was one of those meals that you have to go to the source for. 😂

    • @JSym92
      @JSym92 3 місяці тому +6

      The secret is in the meat, the very best schnitzels are made with high quality veal cutlets. But since veal isn't the most ethical meat for widespread consumption, it's rather expensive and hard to come by. So they're usually made with pork instead, sometimes with chicken.
      I occasionally get some veal cutlets from my local butcher and make schnitzels myself when I have people over for dinner, and although I can't quite make them like those Germans make them, they're still better than restaurant-grade pork/chicken schnitzels. Don't even need a fancy sauce, just seasoning with salt/pepper before breading and some fresh lemon juice to make it pop with flavour. Though I do love me some black peppercorn sauce with my schnitzels.

    French guy here. For escargot I do use the bread. But I personally like a spongy bread, like baguette, cause all that delicious buttery garlicky sauce the escargots are cooked in complement bread.
    The mussels and fries dish is also a Belgian dish. Some consider it more of a Belgian dish actually, but I feel it's shared between northern France and Belgium. I mean the French regions bordering Belgium have a similar culture to Belgium. It's personally my favourite dish of all time with the duck confit. Duck confit just melts in your mouth it's amazing. Glad you liked it.
    Great show. The problem is that if you get pro chefs for every country you'll always get a majority of S tier foods XD. Every country has stunning dishes, especially when made by professionals.
