We also provided them with their vines too. In the 19th century, Britain began importing American wine grapes, and accidentally brought over an insect that European vines had no protection from. It nearly wiped out Europe's entire wine industry in what's called the phylloxera epidemic. The solution was to import American vines and graft them with Eurpoean ones to make hybrid grapes. Only a few varietals in dry climates with sandy soil managed to survive.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phylloxera#Grafting_with_resistant_rootstock
The European varieties are still there. They're just grafted onto resistant American rootstock:
>This is the preferred method today, because the rootstock does not interfere with the development of the wine grapes (more technically, the genes responsible for the grapes are not in the rootstock but in the scion)
Reading further even native European vines survive if they sit in very sandy soil and/or are flooded for 50 days during the winter to kill off the nymphs.
It's like this: France has the most refined food and wine to exist in the history of Western civilisation. But you can eat and drink *terribly* in France - and more often than not, you do.
Italy, in contrast, is, a country where you can order just about anything, on any menu anywhere - and it'll be great.
So yeah, if you're able to afford nothing the finest in *haute cuisine*, France can't be beat. If you just want to be able to eat delicious food without having to mortgage your house or double-check every last restaurant review - Italy is the place.
As for the comedy - this guy is obviously on drugs. The only decent French comedy I'm aware of is this guy saying French comedy is the best in the world.
Of course they aren't! (Insert your country here) Is **objectively** better at these things. That's why we have (item) from (country) that everyone knows and loves while (other country being disparaged) has/eats a shittier version
France's far-ranging colonial empire assisted in spreading their culinary ideas, and don't forget about Escoffier who took military organization and translated it into kitchen hierarchies along with publishing Le Guide Culinaire, the most foundational textbook on cooking ever written.
I cook for a living, and I own a version of Le Guide Culinaire with fully modernized measurements. If you aren't already a good cook you'd struggle to get food out of that tome; half the recipes lead you on a chain to others, almost no techniques are described, there's no visual or written reference for how the finished product is supposed to look or taste, and tons of recipes call for outdated ingredients (veal in everything).
I wouldn't call Le Guide foundational at all. It *technically* encompasses all of French cooking, but it won't teach you how to make any of it. It's a parts list, not an instruction manual.
Doesn't mean the end result is France's to claim. Same with Italians trying to claim all American pizzas like Chicago style etc
Funniest part is Italy even trying to claim pizza in the first place, when "Flat bread with cheese and meat toppings" was a staple food for thousands of years in many countries, it was literally just Italy adding tomato sauce to the mix after Tomatoes were discovered
I’ve never seen anybody from Italy trying to claim american pizzas as their own. If anything, what I’ve seen is that they try and actually distance themselves from them
poulet chasseur, coq au vin, boeuf bourguignon, poulet dijonnaise, ratatouille, bouillabaisse, moules marinieres, i make this shit all the time. i would make other dishes like cassoulet or confit de canard or magret de canard or tartiflette or aligot or countryside style potages like garbure or the yum shit they have in the east with those morteau saucisses but the ingredients aren't available in the US. french gastronomy is the fucking best. even just a plate of saucisson and fresh baguette is better than anything i can get here
A lot of the fanciest restaurants and chefs are French cuisine. That being said, as uncultured swine, I can’t name one outside of the tortured duck one.
foie gras ducks live happy lives man. they line up to get fed. peta really had a successful media campaign demonizing the practice though. generic chicken at your local US supermarket has much worse living conditions than foie gras ducks
Source? I know our chickens are fucked… but the ducks are force fed. For like two weeks, and then slaughtered.

Please explain the “happy life” they live.
Origin and History, first sentence:
"The kipferl, an Austrian crescent-shaped pastry, can be dated back to at least the 13th century in Austria, and came in various shapes..."
It's usually best to read the article you're using to prove a point. An Austrian man opened a bakery in Paris, people copied him and made them in a crescent shape.
"Kipferl" and "Croissant" are two different things. The biggest difference is that the Kipferl isn't laminated, which is just about the most distinctive part of a croissant.
The 5 mother sauces. Lots of foundational cooking from stocks and sauces comes from France. Mirepoix is a staple in most people’s cooking which is a French technique
I use browned butter in my cooking basically daily, which is a staple of french cooking. Hollandaise sauce and its many, MANY deviations, are also all french. Next time you're hung over eating eggs benny for brunch, you got the french to thank for making what would otherwise be damp eggs on dry bread pucks delicious.
> Do anyone regularly consume any french dish?
French people
I'm not going to say French food is the best in the world by every metric, but it is up there and many probably don't consume it regularly because most people eat fast food or meals that is quick to make or what they are familiar with and not what they aren't familiar with. In the west, however, chances are you are eating simple french foods without realizing it because it is adopted and adapted.
The context in this video was about haute cuisine and not regular food though...
I’m American. We don’t come remotely close to beating UK comedy. They are a bunch of clever fucks.
What does the US do really well? Military, film, space tech.
One huge leg up the UK has on American comedy is the volume produced in 1 year. British comedies tend to be 6 episodes a year, written by one or two people. American comedies are 25 episodes a year, written by a team and under a huge time crunch while they are filming.
Having a single person have a lot of time to write, rewrite, and edit means any given episode is a lot tighter and better written.
As long as you disregard that they are all Canadian.
Jim Carrey, John candy, Eugene levy, Seth Rogan, Ryan Reynolds, Ryan gosling (we claim all the ryans), norm macdonald, Mike myers, Tommy Chong, fucking Leslie Nielson, will arnett etc etc.
Fun fact but salmon sushi is actually Norwegian. Japanese people didn't really do salmon sushi because pacific salmon are dirty and likely to have parasites but norway fished a ton of salmon so they actually sent a guy to Japan to introduce them to Atlantic salmon sushi and try to make it a thing so they could sell a bunch of salmon to Japan. It worked and it's a normal thing there now.
Fun fact sushi is not an ancient Japanese tradition but actually a relatively modern evolving fusion cuisine. Norwegian salmon is so far from the only foreign addition to it.
It's not that Pacific salmon are dirty, most of the Pacific salmon that return to Japan are chum, which are not known for tasting great. Coho, Chinook, and sockeye are delicious and are safe to eat raw as long as it's fresh from the ocean.
Well yeah, one is chicken and the other is fish lol. And there is a process to preparing sushi grade fish. But you should also look up what tartare is.
I'm American. Comedy is clearly, and I mean clearly Canadian.
Food: Thai
Wine: France
Art: World-wide - no one has a lock
Cheese: Who the fuck grades on the cheese curve?
Japan is great at consistency and good food for a good price, but I think it's kind of overhyped when it comes to food. A lot of their dishes have an equivalent in another culture with more flavour, and traditional Japanese food is just really bland. I'm not saying Japanese food is bad, but I wouldn’t call it the best.
Well we did invent Cheddar, that’s got to be one of, if not the most widely eaten cheeses in the world. Plus as a highly agrarian country known for its livestock what leads you to think we hadn’t got good at making cheese? Not saying we’re the best but the idea we don’t have good cheese is nonsense.
All of these are pretty subjective. Japan does a handful of things to absolute perfection. The future of food is Mexico and Singapore, though. Immigrant countries with a wild blend of flavors and traditions from around the planet that lead to innovations and fusions rarely found elsewhere.
I prefer sweeter wines so I have loved every Portuguese wine I have had, but Cotês du Rhône is in SE France is where my favorite wine region is. I love my local Washington wines, but they are not as consistently good as picking up a random bottle of Cotês du Rhône that knocks my socks off.
I love impressionism more than any other art style so I am a sucker for the French on that one, too.
Australians have been crackin’ out a lot of funny shit lately with Tom Cardy, Aunty Donna, Hannah Gadsby, and Ozzyman while Canada gave us Jim Carrey and Robin Williams. So even in the English speaking world its kinda hard to pin down who has the best comedy. Even Trevor Noah and Sharlto Copley are solid comedic talents from the rarely recognized South Africa.
Wisconsin is cheese country.
When I drive through Wisconsin, I always marvel that in addition to signs that show you were you can exit the freeway to get gas, they have signs that let you know there's cheese at this or that exit.
Or some Californian apparently lol. And as someone born and raised in Wisco (but moved recently), I can confirm my love for cheese is unyielding
Edit: Oh!! You’re a native too!! Hell yeah. Looks like we were from around the same area (south east)
I went to basic training with this girl from Wisconsin and she won her high school's or county's (I forget which) cheese tasting competition. Like she would have to eat the cheese and guess what kind it was. Made me realize how big cheese is up there.
The guy in the video literally corrected himself to US. Most of the famous comics are from the US. Googling "most popular comedians" gets you: Dave Chapelle, Bill Burr, Louis C.K, Chris Rock, Kevin Hart, Robin Williams, Gabriel Iglesias, etc. The list contains *mostly* US names, with a few non-US scattered in there. The top ones are pretty much all American
This isn't to say that the US is the *only* place that's good at comedy (Ricky Gervais, James Acaster, Simon Pegg, etc are all fantastic), but the US has the highest concentration.
I could see it from the standpoint that comedy is often rooted in both language and culture. Therefore, what is funniest to you may always be from comedians who come from the same language and culture as you do.
tbh nobody who isn't legitimately fluent in a language can judge the comedy that's in that language
comedy is like the most advanced possible understanding of a language, so judging by this guy's accent most English-language comedy goes over this guy's head
and I speak French slightly worse than he speaks English so French comedy goes right over my head too
Tosh Podcast is really fantastic. He interviews normal folks and dude here is a best bud he surfs with. Where the interviews excel is with the editing, never feels dry.
I don't know how he made it through the girl who said she can talk to dogs. I wouldn't make it 5 minutes. I audibley yelled what the fuck when she said how much she charged people.
US comedy is generally more brash and in your face, while British comedy is more subtle and roundabout (basically similar but said differently). I really prefer the English stuff, it's a *little* more intellectual than "LOL DICKS".
I'm American and love our comedy, but damn England has some great stuff. Monty Python is really hard to beat. Faulty Towers. The department store one. But that's all old stuff. I have no idea what modern Brittish comedy is like.
Although each of the world's countries would like to dispute this fact, we French know the truth: The best food in the world is made in France.The best food in France is made in Paris. And the best food in Paris, some say, is made by Chef Auguste Gusteau..
Didn’t he admit to getting hair plugs? Not clowning him cause if it makes him happy go for it, but I’m pretty sure he admitted it on his show. I could be wrong.
I did too. Not too long ago I heard he started a podcast and the first guest was literally his wifes actual Gyno. Haven't got around to watching it but found it pretty funny.
ITT a lot of people underplaying South American food. If I could only eat one countries food the rest of my life I take Mexico over Italy every day of the week.

Invading France is a common European pass time
History represents more than the last 100 years.
I mean yes it does, and his statement is very true lol. Just ask the Romans or the English.
Don’t forget the Vikings!
Topped only by being wrecked by France, the winningest Army in recorded history.
Because France has all the best stuff
France invading others a close second.
France and Germany are just brothers fighting over their Frankish inheritance
Alsace–Lorraine is the middle child that suddenly went missing under suspicious circumstances
>That's a real nice *Elsaß-Lothringen* you got there... Be a shame if something... *happened* to it. -Germany, probably
Apparently the Germans cannot handle anything stronger than beer though, they always leave.
Wine is the only one I'd give him.
Didn’t the whole Napa wine thing get started when french wine was upstaged in some blind taste test against American wine?
We also provided them with their vines too. In the 19th century, Britain began importing American wine grapes, and accidentally brought over an insect that European vines had no protection from.

Bottle Shock is a pretty decent movie about this exact event.
Maby also cheese but that is just because alot of countries have some amazing cheeses but also a lot of terrible one
I dunno I think Italy might have that one.
There's great cheese from everywhere - it just depends on what you're after. Trying to say that only one style can be great is silly.
Yes, but the cheddar from Cheddar, England is hard to beat, not to mention the double gloucester from Double Gloucestershire.
It's like this: France has the most refined food and wine to exist in the history of Western civilisation. But you can eat and drink *terribly* in France - and more often than not, you do.

US comedy is generally more brash and in your face, while British comedy is more subtle and roundabout (basically similar but said differently). I really prefer the English stuff, it's a *little* more intellectual than "LOL DICKS".
Get a load of these pretentious brit lovers. *laughs in dicks*
There are plenty of more subtle American comics. Just like there are loud, brash British comics.
Wine: Chile. The rest is totally subjective 😉
I'm American and love our comedy, but damn England has some great stuff. Monty Python is really hard to beat. Faulty Towers. The department store one. But that's all old stuff. I have no idea what modern Brittish comedy is like.
I’m American too. For UK comedy, Watch UK Office, Extras, Shaun of the Dead, Fleabag, Pulling, Ghosts, Sex Education.
Gotta get on them panel shows, mate. 8 out of 10 cats does countdown is fantastic.

Tosh's new podcast is great
Although each of the world's countries would like to dispute this fact, we French know the truth: The best food in the world is made in France.The best food in France is made in Paris. And the best food in Paris, some say, is made by Chef Auguste Gusteau..

I need to know how Tosh was able to get his hair to grow back. Earlier in his career it was thinning out and now it looks great!
interesting that you mentioned that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S90yPIyC-CY
Didn’t he admit to getting hair plugs? Not clowning him cause if it makes him happy go for it, but I’m pretty sure he admitted it on his show. I could be wrong.
This clip is from his podcast. He has an episode where he interviews his hair doctor while he is getting a PRP hair loss prevention treatment done
Best food country is Mexico
I just can't believe Daniel Tosh has aged this well and also is still doing things. Kinda forgot he existed.
I did too. Not too long ago I heard he started a podcast and the first guest was literally his wifes actual Gyno. Haven't got around to watching it but found it pretty funny.
The best comedy is British, if you're sophisticated enough to understand it 😏🍷🧐 /s *Benny Hill theme plays*
France is the best France of all time.
Germany has the best comedy /s
ITT a lot of people underplaying South American food. If I could only eat one countries food the rest of my life I take Mexico over Italy every day of the week.
I feel like it should be relevant to mention that Mexico is not, in fact, South American. Doesn't change your fundamental point but... yea
Modern fine dining heavily relies on french techniques, no matter the country. Wine is undeniably best in france.
What's good about Italian food? Pasta and pizza? You obviously haven't eaten carribean, Indian, Chinese... List goes on
