Why is European food bland?

[Box-Office]

Everyone's tastes are different and it doesn't make you wrong because you like American style anything. I loved a lot of food in Europe and the best meal I've had in my life was at fouquets in Paris, but in general I wasn't blown away by the food in Paris. Some places were great others were ok, but not worth the price. And I hear ya on pizza, ill take a greasy pepperoni slice over any of the **** I had in Italy, even the "real" pizza in naples. For the food in general, it's not about them needing to add more ****es, or seasoning, they're just not the kind you're into to. Plenty of European cuisine has a lot of depth.

Jimmy the Greek is decent.

You have to find the right restaurants. Italians take a much different approach to meals than AMericans.

If you are treated to a true dinner there - you'll be served several small courses. It will be like a mini event.

But often on the go there, Italians just eat something simple, small, and quick.


I do agree that the whole "Italian experence" can be very overhyped, though.

There are more ugly women there than in the states, IMO. The guys there can be very weird, and will live with their mothers and be treated like a prince until they marry. Their style is wack and they can just be goofy at times.

And yes - a lot of the food is nothing like you'd expect after dining on fne Italian restaurants in USA.

But lke I said - find the right place, and the right time, and you'll get to experience some of the best pastas, olive oils, wines, and breads in the world.

I had some home cooked meals at a couple friends houses in italy. I agree what you say about the women. They got some nice tight bodies but they got some strong facial features. The guys over there look like guidos from the show jersey shore except less guido and more gay.

Pizza in Krakow is the worst I've had

Believe it or not, I agree

And their schooling is hilarious. They still teach that Columbus discovered America. Morons.

I like to believe it was the Welshman Madoc ab Owain Gwynedd in the 12th century.

There is no real evidence for it sadly. There are many stories about Native American tribes that spoke a language very similar to Welsh though.

If Turkey is counted in Europe, then Turkish food is the best in Europe.

I am allergic to lots of ****es which limits how much South Asian food I can eat - but Turkish food offers similar base foods with much milder ****es.

Politically it is, or at least it will be. Geographically only a small part of the country is in Europe

There's evidence to suggest it was a ******...

American food has a bad rep, but they still have eggs Benedict

I had some great food in Morocco, absolutely amazing.

In the UK i'm from Manchester, we are NO WHERE near of being short for choice, can get almost anything other than a steak bigger than 16oz

Europeans need to be introduced to this container of magic

Isn't 'sofrito' Spanish? (nationality not language)
