I love France. As a Brit, I've only been to France twice, went to Disney Land Paris as a kid (can't remember much from it) and went to a Chateau in Lanouaille, near Limoges in the South of France, and every single French person I met there was really nice. I know a couple of people from Paris and they're generally like the stereotype of Parisians, but honestly in the rest of France people are so nice and so welcoming, and I've even experienced them helping with language when you try to speak French, either trying to understand what you're saying or correcting your pronunciation (in a constructive way) so the French woman is right, people need to see more of France than just Paris and they will realise the people are lovely, especially us Brits who generally like to act like we hate the French and France, usually we're not serious cos we'll still go to France on holiday, but yeah people just need to travel more

tbh Ravioli and Tortellini are not strictly speaking a kind of "pasta". Pasta is only limited to what has no stuffing in it (like maccheroni, fusilli, spaghetti, tagliatelle, and so on). since both Ravioli and Tortellini are stuffed with something else, usually with ricotta and spinach or some kind of meat then they are not strictly speaking a kind of pasta, even if they are a first course dish. on the other hand, even from the Italian standards, lasagna is a kind of pasta.

Italy wins in most of them

[@lissandrafreljord7913]

@@giuseppedamora. I must admit, Italian food is my absolute weakness. I guess it's because I grew up eating a lot of it, though probably a bastardized version (hehe, I'm Argentinean). But I would say when it comes to pastries, no one does it better than France. Those folks know how to manipulate butter in all its shapes and forms. Anything with fatty milk (butter, cheese, cream, etc.), France is bound to win (maybe because it has a more Northern, colder climate, so they require a fattier diet, hence they experimented more with saturated fats). Italians and Spaniards tend to have a more Mediterranean diet (more olive oil), though I am aware that in the mountains of the Alps, Pyrenees, etc., they tend to eat more fattening dishes. I have yet to try Jamon Iberico, but from what it seems, it does have a richer deep red color with more marbling than Prosciutto di Parma, while coated with a glistening layer of fat, and it is considered more luxurious. Regardless, if I could only eat one of these 3 cuisines for the rest of my life, without hesitation, I'll take Italian any day of the week.

[@LivariusD]

WTF! You put Champagne in the Sparkling Wines category. Don't say this in France, it will been perceive as offensive. Sparkling Wines are mostly made with low cost grape, who take to much sun, don't have enough rain, or grow up in the poorest soil. That's mainly why we don't drink Spanish or Italian wine in France, too much sun and dry soil don't make good grape, and the good ones are more expensive and less tasty than ours. For the "charcuterie" (cold meat), they don't put enough grease inside. Grease is a flavour enhancer, your meat need to be fat to be tasty, as you can see in the Wagyu beef. And finally, for the cheeses, we have around 1000 different cheeses in France, so Spanish ones doesn't exist here, but there is few Italian ones, like Gorgonzola or Mozza di Buffala, who are good but less appreciate than French ones.

[@jpdj2715]

True. Read Pellegrino Artusi's cookbook "La scienza in cucina e l'arte di mangiar bene" (usually translated into English as "Science in the Kitchen and the Art of Eating", but I would prefer to translate it as "knowledge of the cuisine and the art of eating well.") It reads like a novel. Artusi was from upper middle or upper class descent and visited families around Italy. And he ate with them, as they, their personnel, cooked for their meal. After each visit, he published his experiences in a column, in a newspaper. In 1891, these collected columns got first published in book form. IIRC French "haute cuisine" cook Escoffier got a copy of Artusi's and felt he needed to do a version for French cuisine. Now France has a cookbook for everyday life for the more ambitious household, but less than Escoffier, I would argue, called something like "La cuisine de ma tante Marie" (Aunt Marie's cuisine - both Italian cucina and French cuisine mean kitchen but it's about the important collective recipes of a culture and so in English that's "cuisine"). I'd say that Artusi's recipes are between Aunt Marie and Escoffier. The major distinction in Italian cuisine is that it relies on the best ingredients, as fresh as possible, that are generally not processed a lot. The country has a very long coast and access to sea food is very good. France at its widest is some 1,000 km and its NE/SW middle is almost empty so many places are far away from fresh variation and in times before the refrigerator, blending may have been necessary for taste's sake, especially in less than very-well-to-do households. What makes Artusi's book interesting is that he included comments from his readers. As he describes last weekend's meal at Mrs. X's in A, and how it was prepared, Mrs. Y in B then responds in writing that they would never use ingredient 3, but add ingredient 9 in this dish.

[@Neoprototype]

That's a lot of pizza toppings!

[@lissandrafreljord7913]

I find Italians to be a bit too much of a food snob, and a bit closed-minded in this sense, as their standard for best food is always based on their cooking methods, and their kinds of ingredients, which isn't a lot if you compare to the rest of the world. For example, in Korean cuisine, it is very common to use monstrous amounts of raw garlic, onions, fish sauce which that would scare any Italian away. If you use too many chilies, for an Italian and many Europeans, that means your ingredients are poor quality, because you must mask the poor flavor with all those spices. That is definitely not true at all, especially with Asian cuisine, where it is all about the bald flavors. I remember some Italians trying pho for the first time, and they were disgusted with the cilantro/coriander in it. They complained that it tasted like soap, which I find it strange, because cilantro has originated in Southern Europe and other parts of the Mediterranean, plus basil itself has a very strong perfumy scent. And then, if you cook with any meats they are not familiar with, whether it'd be geoducks, penis fish, dogs, snakes, turtles, frogs, spiders, scorpions, silkworms, etc, they would find it completely horrifying and disgusting, when for many people, that is just part of their culture they grew up eating. The only Asian cuisine Italians seem to respect is Japanese, which I find it to be one of the blandest of all Asian cuisines, with not a large variation in flavor profile (no offense). It's kinda ironic, because if you ask Koreans about Italian food, they consider it as one of the best cuisines in the world along French cuisine, and would fantasize about going to Italian restaurants on special occasions, like on a date.

@@lissandrafreljord7913 first as any country , the culture doesn't define every people that lives in it since not every one is the same . Second they are not closed-minded , you are maybe confusing the fact of people changing our recipes of dishes with things that normally doesn't go well them ( we know because some of us try them too) with accepting other country cusine which is not entirly true. Third you missed a little part of the comment when I said we have nearly everything, we just don't have insects and esotic animals , so saying isn't a lot , it's just ...*forgive me*....bullshit. Fourth garlic,onion and fish sauce REALLY? The basic ingredients for 80% for our dishes !!? Fifth again too many chilies REALLY? When in the South especially Calabria it's all about spicy food. Sixth i don't know which italians you found but I searched for the food and i can assure it's a plate they would eat. Seventh c'mon don't blame on the italians . It's all the Western culture that they find eating insects, spiders,snakes ,dogs or cats etc. weird . In this case it's a problem of awareness instead of taste and yhea it's a bad thing , but don't try saying that somone from the U.S. or North America wouldn't feel the same .

The statement "American culture's kind of exported everywhere nowadays" kinda made me mad at first, because we europeans (I'm italian) feel the opposite, we feel like our cultures are the ones being absorbed by the US, which also is true. But after thinking about that statement for a little while, there's no way to deny that it is correct. American media is without any doubt the most developed and influent media in the world and of course it's going to export American culture everywhere. Such a fascinating matter.

For exemple, "french people is always angry and complain everytime" is known for being quite true, and most of french are kinda proud of it in fact.

@@ran_d_d Well, the Spanish TV series Los Serrano was extremely popular in Finland in 2007-2009 which caused a massive spike in those who wanted to learn Spanish - I started three years earlier but it definitely helped the learning process. In the past, the Departments of Finnish, Nordic languages, English, French and German used to have more prestige at the university while Spanish, Italian and R*ssian were minor players so to speak - there was even talk that their departments would be shut down, but only the obvious one doesn't exist anymore and was replaced by Chinese at the university where I was at. I didn't graduate due to the discrimination by the staff, so I can't really say how it helps (I was meant to become a Spanish teacher). I have been on a sick leave since then. Sorry. But I can say that it did help me to skip certain parts of the application process when I attempted applying for Finnair's flight school - in some industries being international is important. 👍 And apparently we have had a Spanish dentist in my small -ish hometown near the larger city of Tampere. 😊

Having their horns lit on fire or being stabbed repeatedly and their eyes just look so damn sad and defeated. It’s good to hear that the majority of people don’t agree with it anymore..

[@ran_d_d]

@@Fox13440 I’ve never heard that French people are rude.. I can understand preferring people speak some French when visiting. Although French is one of the few languages offered in school, most choose Spanish because it’s more helpful over here in every day life and to practice. And I think all huge cities that are expensive to live in will get a reputation for not being welcoming, but isn’t Paris the most visited city in the world for tourists? With so many people visiting, you hear more comments than about other places. Good and bad. Culturally I guess Americans learning to say hello or good morning when entering a cafe or store isn’t something everyone picks up on since we are more accustomed to the people working being forced to say it to us so maybe it seems forced ha. Plus I hear people think Americans are fake so I try to not force anything. I usually just learn a few greetings when visiting somewhere to be friendly. Since Italy is very much like that too and I’ve visited my step dads family a lot there.

Ok, so, about stereotypes, let me start by saying that I'm Catalan, from Barcelona. I'm specifying 'cause Spain it's quite big and has different diets and such. In Catalonia we have some Spanish dishes from other parts of Spain like the "fabada asturiana" for instance, but our general diet would be more similar to the Italian, in fact, we follow the Mediterranean diet (basically because we are Mediterranean), which is known to be the most well-balanced diet in the world. So, yes, I've lived in Italy for two months and I've travelled around different cities as well multiple times and yes, there is some variety. And some other incredible dishes like "Melanzana alla Parmigiana" (eggplant/aubergine with parmigian), the "rissotto", well "rissotti" 'cause there are multiple times. My favourite one is the mushroom rissotto with parmigian. Salads with mozzarella di bufala... Then deserts like "Panacota" ("Panna cotta" in Italian) for instance, again there are some different kinds, there's the standardone and some variants, the name translated means "cooked cream". In fact, when you go to a restaurant, the menu will probably have the pasta and pizza entrances, but they will always have something called "antipasti" as well, which are some starting dishes (appetizers), then "rissotti", and other dishes, wines and deserts. Here in Catalonia we follow a similar diet like I said, tohwr than traditional dishes. Even in Greece. And not just the diet, we share some cultural similarities, some matters, etc. We all have our own thing, yes, but we share some other things. I mean, watching the movies My big fat greek wedding 1 and 2, living in Italy, going to the South of France/Northern-Catalonia, meeting people from Albania, Malta, etc. I can definitely see those similarities. And I will close with a song by Joan Manuel Serrat (Fun fact! Joan is "John" in Catalan, "juan" in Spanish and it's a male's name, and "Joan" in English it's a female name). That song is called "Nací en el Mediiterraneo" ( I was born in the Mediterranean), the cover I'm sharing was created relate to the refugee movement of Syrians due to the Syrian War with the motto: "volem acollir" (we want to welcome): kzbin.info/www/bejne/fn6wYYN5jryimNksi=Wb6267rja5GhdRTV

Many people here in America don't have time to make food from scratch the way that many Italian grandmas do. Instead, we usually resort to fast food or even microwaveable food sometimes. These might not be the healthiest or best-tasting, but here in America we are BUSY and don't have a lot of time to make food the slow, traditional way.

Italians are also busy, as are the Spanish or the Portuguese, but we still find time to cook a meal from scratch after a long day at work. I think Americans just don't value good, healthy food as much as we do and, as a result, see cooking as a drag. It doesn't even take that long to make a dish like spaghetti alla carbonara... and while tagliatelle al ragù might take a bit longer, you don't need to be there throughout the whole process. You just let it simmer and get on with whatever needs doing (I can hang my washing out, have a shower and watch a little TV or read a book in the meantime). Furthermore, I find cooking very therapeutic. Give it a try! 😉

As for the third one of the Italian, that Italians are too attached to their mother, I agree with that, and not only Italy but also Spain, Portugal and Latin America too obviously, since the culture of affection was brought here from southern Europe hahaha since those 3 are among the largest European immigrants in Latin America . Our family culture maintains very strong family ties and is deeply rooted in tradition, honor and loyalty. We have a big family, and different generations live together, even if they are old, affection within the family is a huge culture in southern Latin Europe and Latin America, we are very attached to our parents, it’s just part of our culture 🤷🏻‍♂️ . If you compare the Northern Europeans family culture, it’s very different… That is why Anglos, Germans and Scandinavians get shocked that, when they realize, many from southern Latin Europeans or Latin Americans still live with their parents… since their family culture is not as attached as ours… They have this rule when their children turn 18-20 years old they have to leave home and live on their own now 💀(not all)

And that's why i love France a lot on those kind of thing, because it's the only country who is truly baised on both latin and german culture, and have a strong north and south division.

We are not. This is the personal view of this woman, but I don't think she is really representing our country's perspective on this. A lot of people in Spain are proud of the bullfight culture.

[@quothalas]

@nosoloporno69 it seems that you don't know what you are talking about. There are corridas in Portugal, only they don't kill the bull at the end (in front of the people, but they kill it anyway a couple of hours later). And even in Portugal they kill the bull, go to Alentejo and see it by yourself. In the case of France what you said is nonsense. There are still bull fights there. You are confused because that extreme-left tried last year to pass a law to forbide them, but that didn't have the popular support and they are completely legal today.

@nosoloporno69 There are still bullfight in southern France

[@schiffelers3944]

@@quothalas I would put it more like be proud of the bull, less on the fighting - it is a part of your but also "European" history. King Minos and the minotaur, the kidnapping of Europe, etc.

[@andreacalmado5429]

There is still bullfighting in south France, it's not 100% banned, and i hope it will stay that way, it's good to keep some tradition alive, especially very old like this one and who is a base of a few cultures around the south France and North Spain.

Mentre gli italoamericani provenivano dal sud Italia, la maggior parte degli italo-brasiliani provenivano dal nord Italia. Abbiamo (in Brasile) anche un dialetto nel sud del Brasile che deriva dal dialetto veneziano, si chiama "Talian".

[@pinagrrrr2280]

9:17 Just nonsense. The biggest italian diaspora came from Veneto actually. She is trying in polite way point to Sicily and Napoli. But the fact is Veneto was poor and paid high price in the WW1. The third one is correct. And o yeah, men are big mammoni.

[@GigaDavy91]

As an italian: the stereotypes that were mentioned are actually all mostly true, tho: 1. mafia is now mostly involved in politics, construction and drugs, the violent crimes are mostly in the south, that doesn't mean that there is no corruption in the north (and i am from an island that is not in the south). 2. most Italians eat pasta at least once a day in average, and pizza 1 to 4 times a month, also most Italian think they follow the mediterranean diet, but almost nobody follows it if not in rural parts of the country, because the mediterranean diet is what was measured in the first half of 1900 in the poor parts of Italy, it is very healthy, but is not exclusive to italy and most italians don't eat that way. 3. Southern europeans in general are more laid back and more attached to the family because of the climate and the cultural environment in southern europe. so... not too far from the truth actually lol.

[@cleodenile_fav]

one stereotype that really annoys me is when american ones think that italian food is only maccheroni, lasagna and amatriciana when literally are the worse part 😦😦I mean tortellini,pasta with pesto and with tuna is 1000 times better!!also the bread is magnific😋😋😋

[@schiffelers3944]

French people being like just speak English only works for Americans, lol.... So way, way, way back - I went to France with the American Boy Scouts.... Me (I'm Dutch) at my best saying: Parlez vous Anglais? Reaction = Non. The Americans boys behind me, just ordered in English and they got served and they spoke English back... Things like these get Europeans all frustrated. It even is one of the down sides of Euro-Disney. French and their French language. LOL

I’m sorry, but there is some truth to any kind of stereotypes good or bad. Stereotypes don’t happen from thin air.

Italian girl: There's not only pizza and pasta in italy. There's also lasagna (which contains pasta), ravioli (which is filled pasta), tortellini (which is - also - filled pasta). I'm sure there's plenty of other stuff, including a lot of seafood and such, but that was kinda silly there ^^ I would rather imagine a french person sitting at a table, eating a croissant and dipping it in a big bowl of coffee actually, perhaps with a cigarette.

[@asturiasceltic3183]

11:10..Yes, I heard about Italian men being to attached to their moms and won't move out until their 30s. They are called Mamones.
