-- What IF France Votes No?
Pages (6): « 1 2 3 [4] 5 6 »

I never tried any asian food aside from the standard chinese one. Well, indian too, but that's kinda not as much asian, more of a middle eastern sort of cuisine. Anyway, I like my local cuisine too..every meal has a big hunk of meat in it and a lot of fat and that is good.

But british food is horrible really. When I was in UK I kept going to all those indian/chinese/french/american/you name it restaurants. I tried fish and chips once and it sucked totally. So I'm sorry George, but you're definitely on the loosing side of the argument here.

lol, using that logic, chinese food must easily be the best food in the world, with a nice 2nd place for india... america would also place a lot higher than the UK!

Originally posted by trancaholic Agree totally. In addition to the pasta and pizza, there's the ciabatta (and its bread cousins of all sorts of names), the wine, the fish, and the olive oil which is everywhere in Italian food. Italy is overall and without a doubt the best place for lovers of food, women, and sunny beaches.

aaaaarg... i want to go to italy again!!! haha... seriously, why didnt i move there?!

thats weird... i too think that usually you get a thin crust pizza.. which imo is waaaaay superior to thick crust!!! thats one of the reasons why american pizza sucks, cause they have like 2 cm of crust!!! and they dont use proper ingridients either like they would in italy!

i like it too, chineese is really good imo... usually very cheap too!

btw, i love how a thread about the french vote on the constitution can turn into a 6 page debate about food!

I'd hate to live there! Didn't like the type of people there when I went (and thats the only place in the world* ive been where I've felt like that!)


*read Europe!

thats weird, i find italians awesome... they are a really nice ppl, and nicely laid back, always welcomming etc!

Originally posted by trancaholic Oh yeah. On topic: First of all, I think that the Netherlands and the UK are going to be most harder to sway to a "yes" than France, so save your worries till we get to those two. Secondly, in the case of a "no" from some member state, I *hope* that the EU will do what it did when Denmark voted "no" and continue regardless. That is, initiate the constitution in the countries that ratify it and allow for the non-ratifying members to join later on. As some (non-Danish) diplomat stated it so poetically when Denmark was stomping the brakes: "There will always be a door open to Denmark".

yeah, the UK and holland will defently be harder, thats whats scaring me, france really should have been the easy part, now how hard wont the hard parts be?!

and yeah, i hope too that we will continue till we get all the countries to approve it. whats also scaring me tho is that the UK is talking over the presidency of the EU in july, and many ppl think that they will deam the constitution as dead if france votes no, so they can avoid having a refferendum too...

Well Schmeichel is a person, and I left out those intentionally. But I'm actually quite astounded that he's still remembered. I could understand if an attacker like Laudrup would be remembered, but a big goalie...?
Though, Lego I should have mentioned.

I really want to move there - but I have no real reason for doing so. No job or fiance to justify the move. Back in 2003 I had an offer to work in Bolzano, but chose to stay in Denmark because of the job contents being more interesting there. Probably a stupid choice.

True. The Italians can be very conscious about themselves and arrogant towards non-Italians, but at the same time that "quality" allows for their fascinating passion and the hilarious situations that follow from it.

Hmm, I wonder why there aren't any british restaurants throughout the world...it's a shame to see such a wonderful cuisine so underrepresented

Anyway, yeah, legos are totally cool. It's the only thing mentioned so far that I really like about the country. Btw, did anyone have those Marklin thingies..like legos but they're made of iron and screws..

Iron and screws?! No we have "plastic" and "micro-chips" in our countries!

Brought up on Meccano.......great toys.....lego as well

Do danishes actually originate from Denmark? Or is it simply one of those misnomers? What's funny is that in the US, the salad dressing I like is called French dressing. But in Europe (austria), that very same dressing is called American dressing. Someone needs to make up their mind.

yeah why can't we go to restaurant and order for some british food?guess the restaurant would go bankrupt !


italy seems to be a nice place i would like to go there someday but not soon i have others destinations to go first

this thread should have been called "what kind of food do u like " or
"does british food suck"?

What's up with this thread?

Most off topic EVER!

Ok as I randomly browsed in here and currently living in this damn country called France here's my belief on the reasons of the No winning right now:
people want to get back at the governement that's something that has come out from a lot of polls there's a general distrust. Between all the strikes the loss of buying power minister being fired for having outrageous appartements at the peoples expense.
There's also a myth that there will be a Plan B. That's highly debatable that it'll ever come back around modified in concordance with the french peoples will. These people are dreaming and don't understand they'll be totally out of the loop.
The polls are also a very bad thing in this particular case I'm not doubting of their reliability but I'm certainly putting in question it's negative impact and excessive influence in modern day politics.

I wish I'd bought the Le Monde newspaper 2 days ago they always have the best satirical political cartoons. Basically the drawing was a guy and a girl and the guy asks his girlfriend " Do you love me today? " and the girl answers " I don't know, what are the polls saying today ? "
It's so representative of the french peoples opinion swinging on the constitution vote.




Ps: Italian thin crust pizza owns the thick crust. All that pepperoni and fake cheese used in the stuff at Domino's etc is so greasy and just a bunch of fillers while the italian stuff is a real meal!

Bah what do you know?! Grease makes a meal! Look at breakfast...would you rather have continental breakfast (stale bread/coissant and even more stale cheese) or a big greasy fry-up?! (sausage, tomatoes, bacon, beans!)

No contest!

Anyway, French food is considered "good" cos they cook things better, I dont hear much bout tarditional french food like I do bout Italian food. So if French food is only good cos they cook it better, and all the best chefs in the world right now are British...

According to Wikipedia it's supposedly a Danish speciality, but that has never been my impression. Yes, we do have Danish pastry in Denmark, but it's not called "Danish" or something similarly nationalistic, and there's not, like, entire shops dedicated to it. I would say that it's about as Danish as coffee, newspapers, and chewing gum.
Further, when talking about it in Denmark, people usually laugh at the fact that it is being called "Danish" abroad - a curious oddity we think, rather than boast of pride that "our pastry" is so well known. And considering how darned proud Danes are of Denmark, that to me hints that we can take no credit of inventing it.
