Basically, you have a bunch of americans talking about France... which basically brought tears to my eyes because it's hilarious from being so ridiculous. Within these comments, some tell you how to find cheap food, others throw you into the expensive stuff. But what really got me going, were the comments about French (and mostly European) habits.
Are you ready? Let's check out what is being said. (Quoting from the source)
For breakfast, keep in mind that the French do not really go for the American style bacon and eggs routine.People, people... not all of us dump 3 tons of fat into our stomachs right at morning. The only ones you'll find with such disgusting eating habits, are your predecessors in UK.
Every time I have been in France (or anywhere on the Continent, for that matter), the hotel breakfast was what I think of as standard "Euro" breakfast - some cereal, some granola, some yogurt, some cheeses and meats, bread and croissants, and fruit.My dear, that is HEALTHY food and it's good for you... and yes, it's what we eat in Europe for breakfast. Much better than your bacon and eggs *puke*. Ever wondered why you americans are drowning in your stupid fat while we, europeans are slim? Or do you need to purchase some more IQ to figure it out? USA = the country of the "healthy burger" (read, a burger with a bit more lettuce in it... yes, I know... it's retarded...)
Make sure that you advise your server of your food issues before you order as the foods you list all are common on French menus and could come out on a set menu. If your French is not good, you might want to have someone write out your exclusions for you before you go so that you could hand the list to the server.Best way EVER to get looked at as if you're completely mad, a lunatic with no brain or IQ... and also to be the laughing stock, called the usual "turists are so stupid" and then ignored because you're not even worth the trouble.
few words of practical advice: if you ask for 'un cafe', you will get a small shot of what is basically espresso - not a cup or mug of coffee.Just because you people think that coffee is composed of 5 litters of black water from the dishwasher after washing the dishes of 3 parties in a row without changing, doesn't mean that we, europeans, will think that shit you people drink is coffee.
An expresso is EXACTLY what you were given, not a huge mug of served water. We don't drink mugs of coffee. And by the way, did your body manage to contain the caffeine? Or did you go hyper from a simple expresso? HAHAHAHA...
Cafe au lait is only served at breakfast time and if you ask for a coffee to drink WITH your midday or evening meal, you will get a very strange look and possibly be ignored.You will be ignored, laughed at, pointed at, called yet again "weirdo" and ignored. Who in the fucking hell drinks coffee with their main meals? .... ah yes... americans... well, we all know they're weird so they don't count.
Parisians typically do not drink or eat as they walk - this is very unusualNot everyone likes to look filthy when going on the street. I've never met more filthy looking tourists than the americans. They look filthy, their shirts are the tell tale of how they walk and eat and they smell. Washing, roll on and deodorant... no?
it has phenomenal prepared salads, breads and all other goodies. It's not really French food - it's actually more BritishWay to mix mediterranean food with UK food, no? Ignorance is a bliss, I suppose... but then again, an american asked me if Portugal was in Africa... another didn't know where Spain is... another didn't know which sea was between both continents... ignorance? Downright lack of education and CULTURE is more like it (your latest top 100 books stinks).
I would like to say that I've been to USA although, out of it. I was in New Orleans A great experience with great people... but... I must say that New Orleans is to USA what Amsterdam is to Europe, so I wasn't too freaked out ;)
