Anon thinks the French are posers

"France" comes from the "franks" who were considered Germans originally

The French invented sex. Before then people would just sort of split into two small people who’d then have to grow back to full size, and it was very boring and not very je ne c’est sais quoi.

More like "The French have good PR".

Yeah, it never occurred to anyone ever to stick their tongues in each others mouths until it was documented in ancient India.

• French fries might be from Paris where it was sold on the Pont Neuf in 1780.. They are called frite so no claim of national dish.
• French press was first patented in 1852 in France. Again it just called cafetière à piston so piston coffee machine.
• Idk from where it is from but again we just call it pain perdu which translate to lost bread because it is a good recipe for old bread you forgot in the kitchen.
• Last one is the normal kiss here and fun fact a kiss with the mouth close is called a smack

So yeah why does the american/english don't do more research about origins and call everything french ?

Belgium is kinda France tbh

The French deserve some respect. If you want to know what a true strike or protest looks like, look to the French.

> Britain was founded by the French

Britain is the land mass that includes England, Wales, and Scotland.

William the Conquerer was the first Norman king of England and never had power over Wales and he was mostly successful in gaining homage from King Malcolm III, but never king over the lands.

Edward I about two hundred years later almost pulls it off, but doesn't quite get a firm grip on Scotland. James I in the early 17th century holds the crown for each of the lands. In 1707 they formalize the relationship with a treaty.

So... No the French did not found Britain.

Nobody in France calls French fries or French toast "French". We're definitely happy to attribute the fries to our Belgian friends and nobody thinks something as ubiquitous as toasts could have a single inventor. I think those are Anglo-Saxon cultural elements.

Just have to triple check whether French revolution occured in French.

French Revolutions.

This is not the French claiming ownership of stuff, this is shitty naming on the part of Americans who thinks all european food is from France. Or who really wouldn't know the difference between Europe and France to begin with.

"We invented democracy, existentialism, and the ménage à trois."

"Oh man... Those are three pretty good things."

To save anyone else the wiki trip

“Some authors consider the recipe for Aliter Dulcia (translated as 'Another sweet dish') included in the Apicius, a 1st-century CE Ancient Roman cuisine cookbook, "not very different" from modern French toast, although it does not involve eggs.[10][11]

In Le Viandier, culinary cookbook written around 1300, the French chef Guillaume Taillevent presented a recipe for tostées dorées[12] involving eggs and sugar.[13]”

Well, technically the French did not found Britain - they were Normans.

Who were the Normans? They were Scandinavian vikings who had been raiding France for decades. Eventually the French king decided to offer them lands (now called Normandy) in France if they promised to stop raiding and instead protect the French coast.

Sounds like all those others want to be French.

Je ne suis pas Francais, but I want to be!

Let's go on strike

French fries as in they came from the French part of Belgium, maybe?

It's funny how France created all its neighbours! Britain, Russia, Italy, Spain! And proceeded to go into mortal wars with most of them!

Britain yet again something they just tacked onto near the end being Italian,German and Scandinavian before hand.
