Why the French Love America?

Coucou tout le monde! Today I’m going to share with you what I love about the United States. France and the United States have quite a few cultural differences and there are things that are specific to the US that I love.
I know some of you (americans) wonder what do Europeans think about America and in this video I'm gonna answer part of this question by talking about things I love and miss about the US.

Hi Guys! So today I wanted to share what I love and miss about the United States! As you can tell I'm pretty damn excited about peanut butter and pumpkins haha

Ever had pumpkin soup? So good in the fall and winter. 😉 Ew, American food? McDonald's? 😂😂😂😂😋😋😋 NY/NJ best pizza, period. 😁😁😁🤙🤘Did you get a chance to see the Redwood trees in northern cali? MT Olympic in Washington state is absolutely gorgeous.

He worked as an assistant chef in the French pavilion at the World's Fair and stayed when WWII broke out. He later joined the Army and landed on Omaha Beach on D Day. That is not how he envisioned returning to his native land. He served as a translator in France during the war and went back to America and owned a French restaurant there. He was both very proud of his French heritage and very proud of his Army service and American citizenship. It meant a lot to him that he had helped to free his native land.

I visited Paris about 35 years ago and spoke with a young French woman while riding a bus. She said one of the things she loved about visiting America and missed when she got back to France was peanut butter. So you're not alone in that. That being the case, I think I know how you can make your fortune in France. The recipe for peanut butter couldn't be simpler: ground peanuts, oil and possibly (depending on preference) a sweetener of some kind. Something to think about. If I ever happen to notice Manonb brand peanut butter on the store shelf, I'll know you went for it.

[@inconnu4961]

Thats great advice! But i think the reason why they dont have peanut butter is because they dont have Goober Peas there!

Hanging around a bonfire with good music, good friends and good food is basically heaven on earth. I’m surprised more countries don’t do this.

[@manonbtravels6343]

Yeah it is one of the best feeling !

My country may never have been if not for the glorious French who fought with the American Hero Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, comte de Rochambeau. GOD bless the French and their great General !!

If you really like to decorate for holidays especially Christmas! you should visit Bronner's in Frankenmuth Michigan USA. People from all over the world come to visit here. It's the largest Christmas store in the world. Also The city of Frankenmuth is a German themed town with great food.

if you come to Texas... we have one super market called central market... we have all french cheeses and goose liver ...ect....and french wines and German goose

My favorite smell is my clothes after a bonfire! Thanks for this great video, and as an American that has lived abroad, I'm sure you will understand that I brought peanut butter with me 😆

[@manonbtravels6343]

Haha yes the smell of bonfire is great ! Haha well I wish I could have travelled with croissants to the US, so to each his own haha

Come visit us again. Our countries have lots of shared history.

We owe a good chunk of the Revolution to France!

[@badcornflakes6374]

@@jamesslick4790 We repaid that debt when we stormed the beaches of Normandy and push the Germans out of the French capital!

@@badcornflakes6374 Paying your debts is not a reason to show disrespect to the people of France or to forget about the revolutionary war.

If you ever come back go to the great smoky mountains national park. It's the most visited national park in the U.S.

[@petergreenwald9639]

Manon, you should ask someone in the US that you trust for a cookbook from a church fund raising event. It is a common in smaller communities for all the ladies to submit their favorite family recipes to the book to be published. I imagine you have all the ingredients in France. Imagine all the pumpkin and peanut butter recipes you might find!

[@manonbtravels6343]

Peter Greenwald actually there are thing i can’t find or really hard to find here ! But yeah I should for sure try to cook some of my fav American food again

[@KimberlyGreen]

@@manonbtravels6343 It is trivially easy to make your own peanut butter. If you have access to raw roasted peanuts and a blender, you can have all that you want. www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-homemade-peanut-butter-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-199110

[@kdrapertrucker]

Might want then to send some measuring cups and spoons with it. You have to remember they use metric outside the U.S. that way they don't need Todo the math to convert the recipe to metric unless they really like it.
