This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Paris has pretty good food but it's below average for France, the south is where it's at.

Why do southern places have better food while northern ones gorge on tatoes.

[–] lostme@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is because all the fancy stuff grows in the south and the only thing that grows in the north is tatoes

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

Honestly I think tatoes are an actual eldritch tuber.

Cause the north is comparatively freezing and to some extent is just trying to survive. The South thrives.

Lyon is BIS. It's where all their best chefs come from historically. Also they take a really relaxed approach to dining and are aggressively unpretentious about it. Almost reactionary to Parisians.

Lyon has what's called bouchons which are the equivalent of pubs but imagine the French take on pub food. It still fits the bill, strategically designed to optimize booze consumption and sports watching, but French so it's hella flavorful and rich. Fair warning Lyonnaise people get loud af in bouchons and red faced, hammered dudes will trip all over you. Love that city.
