France does it better!

They lose wars better (and faster)

 

They have better riots? :)

I think in terms of food, on average, France has better quality almost in all categories. Most americans are used to mediocre or poor-quality food that's cheap and fast. You'll never see a french settling for Wonder bread, for instance.

You could do the same comparison with Italy, which in my opinion, has even better food in general than France (uh-oh, I hear complaints brewing up). They have better coffee and certainly, better ice cream with their geloto.

Zz.

 

Football!!!

 

Says who? The radio? I've had a french bread before and it's as hard as a rock. Just about all french food I've ever had was either mediocre or terrible. Even things france is world renown for, like wine, is argueable not as good as the US's (i.e. Californian wine). Your just comparing french food to places like McDonalds.

Italy has like the best food in the world, way better than crummy french food.

 

French Bread, French Toast, French Fries, France has all the awesome food!

 

And you could be thinking of french food of a particular type. Have you, for example, tried the french cuisine from the Provence region, or even around the mediterranean? We're talking about rustic, country french food here such as bouillabaisse.

And I don't know what kind of bread you got, but I like crusty, yeasty breads with flavor and texture, as opposed to Wonder bread that tastes like air.

I nominate mattmns to Evo for big smack on the head.

French food, I'm told, is much better than it tastes.

(Sorry Mr. Twain.)

How about French kissing, anyone else like it?

 

Laurence Olivier says Italian pastry chefs are better than French ones in Brideshead Revisited so it must be true.

The French speak French better than the Americans too.

 

They're better at the metric system...

 

Completely untrue.

Actually, I have yet to taste baked goods anywhere that are better than French ones.

 

Actually this is one thing that the US is probably better at than every single other western country. The only one that even seems to compare is China.

Yeah... well, I'll give italy pasta and pizza (which is sooo good).

 

Yeah, French make good "wine". Americans spell it "whine" and make it accordingly.

 

:rofl: Yeah.. I couldn't resist.

 

Things I like about France:

The food. Especially around Provence, finding a small restaurant with one chef and a few simple ingredients is soooooo good. You can't get anything quite like it elsewhere.

The wine. It's not necessarily my favourite to drink, I much prefer South American, Australian and South African wines for flavour, but I love the way that they're so passionate about it, and that you don't have to buy a bottle, you can go to a vineyard village at any time of year and get a massive plastic 'milk tub' of wine for about 20 centimes. And it doesn't give you a headache.

The skiing. Who loves the Alps? We love the Alps!

The never-ending brotherly feud between the French and the English.


I'd mention the things I don't like about France too, but some wouldn't take enough salt with it so I'll bite my tongue...

 

The French speak English better than the Americans, too!

:tongue:
