Why is French food considered better than British food? When it comes to snacks British food is better whether it's crisps, candy, chocolate

In Britain you have flavoured crisps like cheese & onion, salt & vinegar, spring onion. In France, French crisps only have 1 flavour: " chips saveur naturelle pommes de terre" which is basically plain potato flavoured crisps

In Britain you have so many underrated delicious chocolate brands/bars like Twirl, Malteesers, Double Decker, Flake, Cadbury, Thorntons, Quality street, Fudge, Dairy milk block hazelnut, fruit and nut, etc

In France , they dont have any famous French chocolate bars. Just becausee they have professional chefs and chocolatiers does not mean it's good or better

In Britain you have flavoured porridge such as Apple & Cinnamon, Raisins & Sultanas, Golden maple syrup. In France they have the original plain flavoured quaker oats with no flavour

I could go on...

Maybe it's because I'm British so I'm biased towards British foods because I was born in Britain so it's logical that I like British food ( If i was born in Germany, I'd like German food. If I was born in Spain, I'd like Spanish food)

British cuisine is - at least among gourmets - considered the worst. :-)

And I don't think you have ever visited a Carrefour Hypermarché, if you have trouble finding enough different sorts of chips.

It's unfortunate that you believe stereotypes. Britain is renowned for producing some of the best top chefs. I cannot say the same of Germany.

[DryGermanGuy]

Unrelated to what you can or cannot say, Guide Michelin, considered the bible of haute cuisine, currently lists 341 starred restaurants in Germany. So I guess we are doing alright. And contrary to many other countries, in Germany fine dining doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

You didn't answer my question, but I don't have to say it because one of your fellow countrymen is.

Potential_Treacle_52 I’ve got to defend you here. I’m from Germany. I’ve since had the privilege to travel a lot and experience other cuisines, and it’s so obvious how underdeveloped and flat-out boring German food is, and to your point that people get mad about, I think the comment section proves you very much right.

[DryGermanGuy]

You have not posted a question. You stated that the British cuisine would be more renowned and create more famous cooks than Germany while the number one publication for fine dining, Guide Michelin, clearly disagrees with you.
I find it also weird that a German would speak of a unified "German cuisine", when he should know this does not exist. We have a dozen very different regional cuisines. So if someone doesn't like the food of a certain region (quite possible), he or she should try others. There are countless food tourists videos on YouTube that show there is something tasty for everybody.
That other countries have awesome food as well is totally independent fact from that. I like Asian food a lot and - ironically - have discovered the Indian cuisine while being in Britain.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

They have similar snacks in france for crisps and chips and whatever the fuck else you’re talking about. You know that, right?


But also, french food is considered better because British cuisine is notorious for being exceptionally bland and any culture that comes into British land, ie chinese take out, is also made to be terribly bland. French food might be doused in wine every other plate, but at least it has flavor lol

[RageBabe]

French cuisine is not noted for its flavours. It's noted for its techniques.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I see why your name is what it is

[IslaTheWitch]

I definitely prefer Irish, Scottish and Welsh food, French is inedible :D

I'm a mix of Polish, German and Irish and if I have to choose, the Polish food is the best, German is blank, Irish is great :D

[NathanDavis]

the nerve... lmfao

[Imnobody711]

I'm not talking about cuisine you idiot. Of course French cuisine is good although I think it's overrated because it's not the best. Mexican, Asian and Italian cuisine is all better but when it comes to snacks, the snacks from UK supermarkets such as Tesco are better than snacks from French supermarkets

You're an ignorant twat who's never lived in France and never been to French supermarkets so if you did you'd know what I was talking about about

[NathanDavis]

your idea of food is a supermarket...

enough said... lmfao

[Imnobody711]

Well no. I like dishes like Tacos, Pizza, Spaghetti bolognese, etc but here what I'm talking about is snacks found at supermarkets not dishes or cuisine

And there's more choice of snacks be it chocolate, crisps or candy available in more flavours in UK supermarkets compared to in French supermarkets

If you had been to France you'd know this. Even US supermarkets have more choice of snacks and more delicious snacks than the ones found in French supermarkets hahaha

[NathanDavis]

or maybe... I'm just a grown up, so... snacks are on longer my idea of food

back when I was a kid, yeah... I would even get excited about them, lol

[Imnobody711]

What? So you don't eat crisps, biscuits or chocolate because you're an adult? Lots of adults eat crisps, biscuits and chocolate. It's not just for kids.

[NathanDavis]

I eat junk sometimes, yes...

I just don't rant about it online... certainly not from a biased point of view, lol

[AI Opinion]

French cuisine often stands out due to its rich history, fine techniques, and the artistry of its presentation. Staples like escargot, coq au vin, and bouillabaisse highlight complex flavors and mastery. British snacks, however, truly shine with their variety and creativity, offering comforting and unique tastes such as cheese & onion crisps or Cadbury chocolates.

Your fondness for British food shows through the local flavor combinations you enjoy. Each culture offers its own flavors and specialties, reflecting local traditions and tastes! 🍽️🍫
