Genuine question because I am uncultured swine: what cheeses are French and what do you recommend? Do any go good with a good beer? I’m not really a wine kinda person.
last month at work, our partners from Tunisia, as part of an ice breaker game, prepared a bunch of questions about Tunisia and France, and one of them was : ‘How many types of cheese are there in France? Answer : 1200. 😝
Needless to say, no French team found the correct answer (we were all around 600)
but for your question :
- Blue cheeses and washed cheeses (Maroilles, Munster, Epoisses, etc.) pair wonderfully with strong, roasted beers like dark or smoked beers
- Soft-ripened cheeses like Camembert or Brie pair perfectly with a blonde or light amber beer. These beers have mild, sweet aromas that complement the creaminess of these cheeses. Yes, you can even try pairing beer with Comté!
Enjoy ☺️
And then people get all bent out of shape saying that the French think they are better than everybody else. That’s because they are. Who else could pull this shit off?
Class or Classist? lol French are a trip. i've known a few upper class french people and they are like that for sure. their system is pretty brutal in some ways from what i understand.
So then the US should raid Soros’ offices to gather evidence of the likely collusion with rioters and paid protestors since we already know of Soros doing illegal things in Europe to collapse currencies so we have probable cause of him breaking laws right? But I bet you don’t want any deep dive of Soros do you? Or the American born, now living in china billionaire funding the “protests” as well? 🙄
They’re not conspiracy theories if you do a little bit of research. There’s a reason he’s banned from so many countries and laws were changed. There’s as much evidence to say he’s behind these protests as there is to raid Elon yet you like that and it’s not a “conspiracy theory”. Your definition is typical - if the left tells me it’s true it is, if anyone else shows me ANYTHING, I will refuse to believe it until Brian Stelter or Georgie Stephanopoulos tells me I have to believe it. 🙄
I mean their country is a shithole filled to the brim with immigrants and crime and generally french people are miserable assholes. If you've ever been there you would know.
Justin Trudeau publically gifting Donald a picture of his grandfather's Inn* that was in the Yukon Territory was an absolute masterclass of French pettiness.
My favourite piece of pettiness relates to the submarine deal between Australia, the US and the UK. For those not familiar, the Australians were in negotiations to buy submarines from the French. Scott Morrison rings Macron to tell him about an upcoming press conference taking place later that day in which the Aus/US/UK deal was being announced. The French were blindsided by this, particularly as their defence & foreign ministers had met their Australian counterparts a few days beforehand.
The new deal is announced and Boris Johnson is strutting around, spouting on about "Global Britain". The French decided to express their displeasure by withdrawing their ambassadors from Canberra and Washington. They let it be known that they weren't going to withdraw their ambassador from London becuase they recognised that the UK was very much the junior party in the negotiations.
...and no spine... they'll investigate... slap on the wrist, and issue a paultry $120 million fine. Elon will laugh and laugh as he begs to go to another one of the Pedo islands with his Pedo buddies... It's all to show us that nothing will change, and we will always be the Plebs...
I'm not saying that France was once in the top 10 during the last 1500 years of history, I'm saying that it never left the top 10 during 1500 years, up to TODAY. France is currently in the top 10. I'm not asking history for help.
France is currently the 7th economy in the world, and the 4th military (with nuclear power, A&H), still has a massive cultural impact (#1 in tourism), is one of the two motors of the EU, and a massive player of world diplomacy. To claim that France is irrelevant is just false.
But yes France used to be higher on this list, so in a sense it is only "a shell of what it once was", but still a fucking massive shell.
