There is no Calais anymore, Kerouac, I went to the the north and I saw the signs 'pas de Calais' ...

That's to throw people off the trail.

Oh so this is definitely the troll thread now. Woin, you really attract them! 8-)

Yep. Got a gift here.

Vic, did you try putting chocolate on your partner and then licking him/her ?

Hmmm. Pay attention when you coat with chocolate. Can be hot... on the other hand, saves on wax for women !

Seafood and erotism ... nah, I won't comment.

I eat Indian or Moroccan or Vietnamese sometimes when I'm in Paris, there is nothing wrong with eating what you want to eat, not just so-called French cooking. I eat Italian sometimes, also. Even at home, I don't eat the same type of cuisine every day, I like a change (Indian, Thai, "American", Mexican, French, etc.).

Some people eat just to enjoy their meal, not as an educational object. Lots of French people eat pizza, after all. There is lots of it in Nice, as I recall.

I prefer English cuisine when in Paris - even better than you'd find in England IMO.

Sorry Donald, it is not America first for PIzza. Only second. First is NORWAY ! France is 7 - China 10 ?
(I had some pizza in China, frankly ... ).

My best pizza ever was in Egypt. In a Pizza hut. Don't remember the taste at all, probably worse than any Pizza hut in France. But the view : I was smack in front of the Sphinx.

The #1 home delivery item in Paris is sushi, ahead of pizza.

There is a lot of crappy pizza in the US, so having a pizzing contest as to eats the most is schoolyard argument, should include "Oh yeah?"

I am sure there is a lot of crappy pizza everywhere. We once had mediocre (not crappy) pizza in Italy.

Not to mention the fact that pizza is completely different in different countries. There is almost no relation between Italian and American pizza other than a flat round base. And the most popular pizza in France is 'salmon & goat cheese' which probably wouldn't fly in a lot of countries.

WoinParis Mar 31st, 2017 09:12 PM

Oh yeah ?

(You have to turn it into a contest ? There are not enough trolls on this thread ? )

IMDonehere Mar 31st, 2017 09:31 PM

The word troll on the internet (Now a lower case 'i' according to the Chicago Manual of Style) has always amused me as everyone hides behind a false identity.

Suits yourself IMD if you want to follow this path.

I've seen you being smarter. But it is easier to follow the flow.

Most pizzas I've seen in Italy are squares that you buy by the square - not round?

PalenQ, isn't 'English cuisine' an oxymoron?

The best pizza I ever had was in Antibes, France. The worst quite possibly, was in Naples, Italy.
