Aligot. Its a medieval dish from the 12 century it was made with bread and cheese then we modernized it in the 1700 with mashed potatoes and cheese. We eat it with porc sausage. Its from l'aubrac in the south west of france. We also invented roquefort which is nice.

Mixed with butter and fresh cheese to make aligot

Traditional french cuisine is pretty much the same as any continental countryside cuisine. Vegetables and an ungodly amount of cheese. Naturally it's quite good but nothing special.
Then in the capital we have autistic chefs perpetuating the legacy of royal chefs making needlessly complicated food. But we also have excellent culinary schools and people who come from all over the world to attend. This results in Paris being a hub of good eats
All in all I would say french cuisine is good but certain dishes are overrated when better ones are completely unknown
Oh and I haven't had better pastries anywhere else

I really can’t be fucked with frog food generally, but I’m desperate to try this.

Anyone ever made it? Any recipes? Any tips? Most recipes I’ve seen say you need a ‘potato ricer’ but I’m obviously not getting one of those as I can’t be bothered.

Anyway. Aligot thread and also fondue because it seems a bit fondue-ish as well. I’m going to have it with sausages and gravy. God, I can’t wait.

Really surprised nobody’s mentioned aligot in this thread yet.

You guys are gonna blow your minds.
