| Topic | Is French cuisine the most grossly overrated in the world? |
| BB_mofo 07/14/25 6:44:51 PM #16: | The way I have heard it... The Italians taught the French how to cook through way of the Medici family chefs during the Renaissance. French have traditionally had access to lousy meat and produce, but a wealth of dairy. Most of their cooking is creating rich sauces with loads of cream and spices to cover the bland flavor. Italy has traditionally had awesome meat and produce, which is why everything focuses on being fresh and simple so as to bring out the best of the natural flavors. --- "But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?" -Mark Twain ... Copied to Clipboard! |
