He thought all cheese was as delicious as the Wisconsin cheddar he had during his semester abroad in Iowa.

like in a different reality this should allow some kind of common ground between our nations or some shit

It's a bit strange that the only food that I know to be French is baguette which is just a bread.
Their pastries and cooking methods as s general rule are great. Not sure if they found the one bad chef in France or what.
It's just a photo taken at a random moment while attending some event, people's expressions are constantly shifting, you can be enjoying something and have a dissatisfied-looking expression on your face for a fraction of a second for like a thousand different reasons.
I feel like that is obvious and I'm all for dunking on the Western hegemony in whatever genuine or silly way but I sincerely hope no one in this thread is genuinely sitting here like "Oh my goodness, President Xi is offended by French cuisine! 
"
It's not so obvious to me, but there are plenty of people who unironically think and say this. French culinary techniques and dishes are genuinely lovely stuff, but so much of it (through imperialism) has just sort of insinuated itself into culinary traditions the world over.
I've visited Paris once and all the food I had was mediocre at best. The restaurants I've visited don't know how to cook a steak, it was always overcooked. We went to one fancy place that was okay but all the normal food was really disappointing. The bakeries were good though.
Paris is shit. Everything about it is shit. It even smells like shit.
Go to some little town or large village in the middle of nowhere and you'll find really incredible boulangeries and fromageries. The people still kinda suck, but that's just France.

"How did they manage to make food that tastes just like how the fr*nch act?"
"It's just... a piece of cheese?"
Do we think Xi is a wife guy?
I don't care but his wife is killing it with her look.
Disgost 
:xi-agony:
French food is just sticks of butter...
"We are so serving him stinky tofu next time he's in Beijing."
There’s this one drink my wife and I tried in Beijing that looks like a coffee but smells and tastes pretty much like raw sewage, they should give that to him.
Douzhi?
Had to check with my wife, but yes, that’s exactly it.
Babe! It's 4pm, time for your french food!
Yes honey
"they only had camambert?"
I'd look like that too if I had to have a conversation with macron and von der leyen
The face I make when it's 7pm and I know I have to spend at least two more hours at the party I'm clearly not enjoying

Stay strong Xi I know this was the most devastating day of your career so far.
I hurt myself today
J'ai ris.
