I'm traveling for work and thus have been eating in only French restaurants for lunch and dinner all week....yet again, I have to say I'm not impressed. We're eating with clients too, so they're decent restaurants (menus à 20/25€), and not truck stops. The food is always beautifully presented but just bland.Ksamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991667611234163617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920153916548580500.post-38922905018216438242009-01-15T06:36:00.000+01:002009-01-15T06:36:00.000+01:00Is french food the food you find in France ?Or may...Is french food the food you find in France ?<BR/><BR/>Or may be it's typical french dishes <BR/><BR/>or is it 500 € a dish chefs ?<BR/><BR/>From the "I hate french food" ( could that be the smartest post of the year?) to "american food is boring and americans are dimwitted" response of equal value and eloquence , that debate is flying high methinks.<BR/><BR/>Is Couscous served in France french ?<BR/>Isn't it spicy ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920153916548580500.post-36968863793926664082009-01-14T08:28:00.000+01:002009-01-14T08:28:00.000+01:00I, too, love ethnic foods, but if have a choice to...I, too, love ethnic foods, but if have a choice to go out for ONE great meal with my husband, I'm going to a very nice French restaurant.

Maybe it's safe to say that every culture has a fine cuisine to offer--- maybe not American (and I'm American... but we do have some great baked goods).

I think the French used to be the best in the world, but that ever since, they have lacked innovation and have just been content to rest on their laurels. (in the same way that many Frenchies still think that French is the language of the business world, lol).Ksamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991667611234163617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5920153916548580500.post-4976833540265371722009-01-10T11:28:00.000+01:002009-01-10T11:28:00.000+01:00It is definitely over-rated.
