what's the point of other culinary schools when french and similar european foods just taste better??

>> No.8320742

you can't get into french schools straight off the bat if you're an outsider

I'm not sure I understand the question. Most culinary schools (in the english-speaking world, anyway) are based in French methods and techniques.

I don't mean literal culinary schools. I mean disciplines, as in, the world of french food.

Not the same anon but anecdotes aren't really valid anon.

I live in England have have travelled to France many times.

Decent fois gras is hard to come by in Britain (regulations and shit) but I have eaten the Pâté on many occasions, it never comes in a tin.

It was my favourite lunch, find a Charcuterie get some bread and pate and munch away.

It's more expensive than regular Pate and is only really a treat but it's worth it.

Sorry about your experience with a tin?

I'm pretty sure that after 3 years she figured it out plus nobody goes to France to stay in a room and stare at a wall
Isnt France supposed to have great food at every restaurant? How do you know more than her?
She also studied at some culinary school even tho she never cooks so it was a waste of time

It might be a Mexican thing. Anon probably grew up in a village without electricity so frozen is not an option. Vacuum packing doesn't work either since it probably takes several days to reach to village by way of the familys donkey.
Anons tastebuds are probably also leaving something to be desired since he has lived on chili peppers and coke his entire life

so do you never eat food with a base of celery, onions and carrots? cause then it's almost certainly with french roots. to lessen french food to something like "foie gras, frogs and snails" is retarded, it's incredibly varied.

Fois gras doesn't taste like Cow/Pig/Lamb liver . .. .I was giving you the benefit of the doubt but I have the funny feeling that you are telling porkies.

Chances are it tastes exactly like cow liver but every time you eat it you are too drunk and to full of yourself to nottice and that delicious taste is you eating your own ego

As a french cook, i hate this fucking place.

What's funny is that many of the dishes that French cusine is famous for started out as cheap peasant food. Coq au vin? That was when the only thing to eat was the stringy 'ol rooster in the barnyard. Cassoulet? Take whatever leftovers you can find and stew them together. The list goes on and on. Yeah, you can find those at a fancypants *** restaurant, but their origins were in cheap peasant cooking.

I like French Food . .. .it's like British food but not the same.
French haute cuisine is no better than British Haute Cuisine, same applies to peasant food too .. .it's the same but different.

But with all due respect, ingredients are better in Europe than they are in Mexico (or the USA if you prefer). Put it this way .. .I have NEVER seen Pate or Liver in tins?

>you can't have French food if you don't eat it in France
Not really the point I was trying to make.
Having said that, there is an element to it though, for example:
You can't get a real Haggis in the USA; Your HP sauce tastes different than Britains, as do baked beans, ketchup and Mustard.

I think it's hard to judge a tinned fois gras with something that is normally available 'fresh' - do you get where I am coming from?

>You can't get a real Haggis in the USA

Sure you can. You just have to do the work yourself. It's illegal to sell lungs to the public. However, there's nothing illegal about buying a live sheep, slaughtering it yourself, and then preparing traditional haggis and serving it to your guests.
