As a counterpoint to liberals' frequent refrains about leaving the country if Donald Trump gets reelected, we have a story about one older couple who decamped to France last year and haven't really been loving it.
I don’t get the hubbub about French food either. I’ve been to fancy french restaurants, and the food was good but nothing special. Some French cheese is very good, but i can get that at local gourmet markets. The prepared dishes themselves were not remarkable to me
… I don’t like french food. It’s not bad, it’s just massively overdone, like it’s all they have.
Wife adored it though, she’s a proper francophile, we’d go to a bistro, have lunch, leave, go 5 feet, she’d want to try the one next door too.
In her defense she didn’t know she was pregnant at the time, but she’s still an extreme francophile.
Personally the French outside of Paris were awesome, just the Parisians who give the country such a bad reputation.
