The Country in Europe With The Best Food an Culture Is Surley

[Louis VI the Fat]

I would say Belgium but I would hate all you savages overrunning this paragon of culture and cuisine.

Belgium is fantastic! A fabulous extention of Northern French civilisation.


See this is why France is superior to Italy. We have got everything that the south offers, all of the food, the dolce vita, the sunshine. The products that grow in the mediterranean lands, with its harsh topsoils and unlimited sunshine. But unlike Italy, we also have the muddy clay of the north, its grey skies. The butter and the meat of Picardie in the north, the orchards of Normandy in the northwest, the Atlantic seafoods of Brittany.



They don't have this in Italy

And I was already wondering what kind of country "Surley" is....

Isn't that last photo Biltmore House in Asheville, NC Louis? No fair stealing our architecture to fill your portfolio.

No, not Lacoste, the brand founded by the French tennis legend. Pierre Cardin, the great 1960s/70s designer.

No I was referring to Pierre Cardin which is pretty average quality the cuffs and sleves fray very quick and the double cuff variety split after maybe a week . Time spent working during college in Hotels cured me of his apparel very quick.




France is gonna have to work very hard to beat the kind of stuff I saw in Positano or Capri these are not my photos I lost my photos from there.
I went last year to wedding there but I couldn't fault the scenery except it maybe was bit pricey and that is something coming from an Irishman.

Think that is the Blue Grotto in Capri

I have been to Italy and France, Italy was prettier and the food was better. I visited Paris after Rome and, aside from the smell from the river, my most enduring impression was "bling".

Roman waiters are also much nicer than Parisian ones and it seems like EVERYONE in Paris smokes.

To say nothing of the lecherous old man who wanted to draw my sister.
