[@floredorguin9005]

I am french and you just ended the greatest french war of all time. In Paris we call the chocolat pastry "pain au chocolat" (chocolate bread) but in Bordeaux, they call it "chocolatine" and we hate each other for that. Calling them chocolate croissant just signed an era of peace and happiness in this world. Thank you kind sir. Also, 4€ for a crêpe, you've just been robed, sorry about that.

[@mastacrixus]

ce sont des chocolatine! :p

[@Nao_0108]

I agree, let's call it chocolate croissant ! (But as the good french that we are, we gonna find a way to fight about this again)... T.T...

[@mastacrixus]

[@kateg9302]

In Quebec we call it Chocolatine too!

[@ArnauD-16]

Si tu y penses bien le nom du croissant lui vient de sa forme mais le pain au chocolat n'a pas la forme d'un croissant...so does it really work? neverthless I couldn't help but laugh at how original that was when he said it I just love Mike!

[@SadicMoutExt12]

The truth is... not many French people actually eat snails. But for those who do... it's not really about the snails. It's about the sauce. The most famous one is indeed garlic and butter... But you have many other combinations (like white wine and potted meat, breadcrumbs and caramelised onions, etc.). As you said, the French believe in sauce lol. And that was it for the snail minute. Thx.

[@exlibrisas]

Same with frog legs.

I love Mike's videos. I think I love when Mike explores non-Asian food, even more. Maybe because I'm Asian and know about Asian food extra more and want to see something more off the beaten-path.

[@MultiKswift]

It might also be because Mike is Asian so he's less familiar with non Asian foods. So when he's discovering something new it's comes across as more interesting then when he's just extolling why he loves certain things he's already eaten many times over. (I do love all of Mike's videos, even the ones where he's eating stuff he is already familiar with. I just like the videos were he's exploring a new cuisine best.)

I know this was 3 years ago but a Kouign Amann is also very delicious. The last time I had one, it was as if a croissant was covered in the crispy sugar that sits on top of a creme brulee. Slightly caramelized sweetness with flaky crispy outside and buttery soft decadent inside. Mmm.

Thats how it goes, finish breakfast and go straight to lunch. Couldnt agree and relate to this statement more.

[@whatsupfrance573]

A little guide for people interested in French food. Escargot pastry = Pain au raisin = "Raisin bread" (it's not bread though, it's a viennoiserie = pastry) [this bakery actually make special ones, the traditional are just with raisin] Chocolate croissant = Pain au chocolat = "Chocolate Bread" (for the most part of France) , Chocolatine (in South of France), Petit Pain = "Little Bread" (In some part North of France) (it's not bread though, it's a viennoiserie = pastry) . Ali Baba: is most commonly called in France, Baba au rhum. Crêpes: we usually put jam, chocolate, sugar&lemon, just sugar, honey and also you can put confiture de lait (milk jam), crème de marron (chestnut cream), gelée de coing (quince jelly) on it, but you can put whatever you want. There is a savoury version as well, usually with buckwheat flour but even with this type of crêpes you can put savoury things on it, most common are ham, Emmental cheese & egg, but you can put whatever you want. (Also super expensive crêpes). In France it's not uncommon to do "Crêpes Party" with your friends and family, during this, you only eat crêpes, small ones or regular size. Macaron: did you know? While most foreigners are obsessed with macarons, French people don't eat it very often and usually eat more pastries and patisseries. Macarons are almost treated like a candy (it's not but it's very sugary). Also, Macarons and Macaroons are not the same things. Raclette: it's a dish from Switzerland but widely eaten in all of the Alps and after that, it spread to the rest of France. Like said in the video, for the traditional raclette, you have the whole wheel of cheese that the restaurant melt for you to put on your potatoes topped with delicatessen (you can eat it with little pickles and little pickled onions). Because there are already potatoes in this dish we don't really eat it with bread and we don't eat this with our hands but with cutlery. Usually, if you put your cheese on the delicatessen only, it's because you ran out of potatoes. Here it's the at-home raclette that you have, most people have this type of raclette device at home but bigger ones (family size). Also, don't grill delicatessen, apart for bacon (and maybe jambon blanc/white ham), don't grill it. Things like saucisson and viande des grisons, every jerked meats are not meant to be grilled.

[@thedarkside6354]

I'm from the north in France anyone say little bread (petit pain) now you can just say pain au chocolat

If you're staying a bit in our beautiful country and want to get out of Paris, you might want to go to Lyon, which is the gourmet capital of France or check out the grand buffets in Narbonne. It's the biggest all you can eat buffet in Europe with all sorts of French specialties !!! You'll love it

[@zamielreza2090]

What is your reccomendation in lyon ?

[@darktriforce]

Enfinnnn !!!!!! i am french i follow you since a long time and i am really happy that you come here !!!!Happy that you liked escargot and all the food you get !! This is a little " Next time must try list" : - Fondue Savoyarde (with cheese and bred ) - Fondue bourguignonne ( With meat oil and sauce) - Steak tartare - Flammekueche restaurant ( it's like a cream pizza, but some of those restaurant keep serving you until you say stop ) Cheese must try : - Roquefort try it cook in sauce it's awsome with a pork chop and french fries - Mont d'or cook with white wine it's even beter - Camembert fried and currant jam It's already a little list but their is a lot more to eat here ! hope you will come back soon, maybee when it's not riot day every saturday xD !

[@chriswest7639]

​@@chriswest7639 I don't mind... Right now it isn't just paris... You could go anywhere in france saturday is a riot day... to keep explain simple... The Majority of yellow vest are more or less agains all the current political party because they already failed... Macron have been elected with no true political approuvement by the people and he have been too much greedy and insulting without thinking of his precare rooting... There is little group inside the yellow vest that may be affiliate to some group from far left or right but still a minority that have no leverage to have influence... If there is TWO big demand, they are The R.I.C. it's a self citizen referendum and the resignation of Macron...

[@johnokamoto6762]

Wow! I actually got shivers down my whole body reading your list! A friend of mine said the cheese in France is so much better than America because of the pasteurization that is required here! He said I should go just for the cheese since I love it so much!

Chez Fernand with the boeuf boirguignon, osso bucco and escargot is just like regular standard pub fare in the US, its not like an extra fancy place for Paris even though probably most Americans think of that as fancy, its really just original peasant food and any restauraunt worth a lick is going to cook them. For Americans who might read this its like going to the bar and getting chicken wings, fries and a hamburger but like really rich satisfying versions.

You’re living my dream right now- it’s one of my life goals to eat pastries in France 💕

[@txbd9226]

Lovely Lilax You have to find a good bakery. As a french I can tell you that nowadays, a lot of bakeries use cheap ingredient to lower the price (like margarine instead of butter) and many of them sells awfull pastries... That make me sick to think that they disrespect french pastry, and disrespect clients for profit... What a shame, it can give a bad first time impression for people who don’t have tasted good pastries before. But anyway if you find the right one with good products you will not be disappointed !!! 🥮 Get the more information you can to find the right one.

[@VenusinCalico]

I'm loving all the ethnicities of food you feature. Seeing pastries and desserts around the world is my fave.

[@misheru1677]

Dude, you need a NETFLIX show!

[@mamakotterkey8782]

Nah, he needs a show on the Food Network. It would be better than all of the constant re-runs.

[@natefunk1]

@@mamakotterkey8782 He probably makes more money doing this than Food network would pay him. At the very least he has the freedom to do whatever the heck he wants.

Dude he has a KZbin channel lol

[@honeymoon4130]

KZbin is free and also he’s able to do whatever he wants. I know it’s a compliment but I hope he always keeps his YT channel!

I love all cuisines: Japanese, Italian, Turkish, Indian, Mexican, etc but French cuisine is and will always be the best in the world to me!

This is the best food video ever. Mikey is my favorite food KZbinr! Thank you for making videos.

[@reighngold]

I'm going to Europe this summer and can't WAIT to try some of the places you're suggesting!!

[@DougvonSohsten]

Aaaaaaah! France is Pastry Heaven, hands down... Macaroons, coffee and crepes at every corner, Notre Dame Cathedral, Versailles Pallace... I miss France... That area around Notre Dame is one of my favorite spots in Paris. That and the Montmartre neighborhood, with the artists square and that view of Paris from the Sacre Coeur cathedral steps. Damn I wanna visit again...

[@lunayen]

You mean macarons, right?

[@Nicolacurran1]

@Music & Whistle msk No macaroons are an entirely different sweet made from coconut. Educate yourself!

[@GandyDev]

Mike makes all food seem good.

[@TheRRDesign]

Mike! I know you normally post your videos way past the time you're in a specific location but since you were in France and I believe you said you were thinking of trying Spain as well, have you ever thought about trying out the Portuguese cuisine?

[@Reprodestruxion]

[@rosalieb4942]

I C don't make generalities please, there are nice and mean people everywhere. I am French, and when I hear people try to speak French, it actually makes me happy because they are making an effort in trying to communicate and understand our culture and that's something I truly appreciate. I would never make fun of someone who's trying to speak my language. ☺️

Actually "Ali baba"s real name is "baba au rhum" and comes from my city Nancy in the North East of France ;) you were right about King Stanislas, he was King of Poland and Duke of Lorraine and lived in Nancy. He thought "kougelhopf" (german cake) on its own was too dry and asked his chief to soak it in "vin Tokay" (sweet wine) and voilà : baba was born ! It was later replaced by rum and became "baba au rhum" :)

Rum Baba. I grew up with those delights in England
