ITALY vs FRANCE

>>8713623
neither/both

>>8713623
Never had either, only the fake US stuff thet pretends to be french or italian.

>>8713627
you are literally what is wrong in our civilization now
a bunch of pussies, too scared to live, FRUSTRATED AS FUCK that let off steam voting for conservative, bigot, repressive policies
have some sex

>>8713630
I'm sure there are good and authentic Italian and French restaurants in any major city in the US.
Never been to America, though. And as a German I don't think I should try and go there. Not even as a tourist.

>>8713641
I voted for Bernie.

The largest ethnicity in America is German, comprising about 17% of the population, and 26% of the non-Hispanic white population, and the rates are way higher in the middle of the country. If you somewhere like Minneapolis, Chicago, or Madison, you won't be disappointed.

>assume responsibility for your choices
You didn't exactly give a whole lot of options for "our choices".

>>8713643
THere are, but certainly not in flyover states

>>8713623
Jesus Christ, none of you idiots can actually form a real answer? Italian.

I like French cooking, but if you have to put a gun to my head I enjoy a good pasta, well made pizza or flavorful gelato to French cuisine.

>>8713641
Man, how did you work politics into this discussion? Then you even managed to do some projecting.
Choke on a bone. Sage.

I took 9 posts to find someone non autistic, stay classic /ck/

>>8713654
Illinois, Minnesota, and Ohio all have bretty good food cities. The rest of the area is trash, though.

>>8713682
The irony being that I'm actually autistic. I'm high functioning and above average in smarts, but I'm mostly just awkward.

>>8713694
I'm >>8713644
and I've self diagnosed autism and asperger, that's why I got triggered by the two options only
I almost had a panic attack when I called me "conservative"

>>8713682
OP not asking a question that's autistic as fuck would've helped.

>>8713713
>in 2017 asking if italian or french cuisine is better is considered "autistic"
fuck off

>>8713623
For home cooking Italian blows French out of the water. But French restaurant food on the higher end beats Italian. Both cuisines are tasty as fuck, but French has more finesse which allows it to shine in a restaurant setting. Italian is best in a farmhouse.

>>8713650
You forgot the part where those "germans" didn't live through the last century of German history and are therefore culturally american

>>8713713
True. Also I love me some Looney Tunes but th' fuck is with the top image for this thread...?

>>8713719
>in 2017 asking people to decide between apples and oranges is considered "autistic"
Yup.

>>8713724

> But French restaurant food on the higher end beats Italian
this meme needs to die

>>8713727
do you prefer apples or oranges?
I prefer apples

>>8713739
I like both for different reasons :^)

>>8713743
I don't, does it make me autistic?

>>8713734
>this meme needs to die
It's true though. The French codified the restaurant experience. They set the standard for what it ought to be. The Italians are no slackers in that regard, but most of their best shit is grandma cooking. In France you shell out the dough to eat at a place with a Michelin star and you're set. In Italy you work your connections for an invite to someone's family dinner, preferably in a small town.

I'd say Italian girls are better but french girls are a close second.

>>8713623
Italian, the French stole everything good from them.

>>8713804
LET THAT OLD MAN TALK! HE SPEAKS THE TRUE!

French, not that anyone on this shit board knows anything about it.

Italian food is bland and repetitive. They have no concept of spices or fresh ingredients. If you have ever eaten good italian, it must have been outside of italy.

>italians have no concept of fresh ingredients

I like italian way better than french cuisine. French certainly has some good things as well, especially in the north. But what they serve at your typical french restaurant is disgusting hobo food like frog, snail, pigeon and rat. Italian food might be a bit simpler but way more delicious, unless you are in italy of course I wouldn't eat there anything that comes from a restaurant, you will get sick.

Personally I think German and even Austrian cuisine is way superior anyways. I have no idea where this french and italian meme comes from.

Italian has much smaller range of ingredients from my experience, but tastes better than the very few dishes I've had from French cuisine.

French is much more globally important due to its profound influence on Western technique, but I prefer Italian (the kind they make in Italy, not Americanized garbage).

Are you high? Fresh, high quality ingredients are literally the cornerstone of all Italian cuisine.

>muh spaghetti

Yeah, it's french for me.

French. Two Words: Frog Legs.

I'm trained in classical French cuisine and alot of the chefs I work with are Italian, this argument happens almost daily.
Spoilers French cuisine wins every time

french haute gastronomie is better than italian.
Italian peasant food is better than french peasant food.

I would argue that your attempts at making everything a competition is what's wrong with the world.

There are nice things in Italian cuisine and french one alike, any clear cut opinion about one being better than the other would be subjective and since you don't seem to care about opinions that differ to yours I don't understand why you even bother with internet discussions.

France (aka Northern Algeria) won't exist anymore in a couple of generations
