The french sauces were used to cover meat so spoiled that even the dogs wouldn't eat it.
I've been to france and we should have let the krauts keep it, they are the most arrogant, condescending, elite dweebs on the planet and they have no reason to be.
Let them eat cow patties with fromage.
I went to a small French town in the middle of nowhere, and they wouldn’t let me buy drinks at the bar (when they found out I was American).
I have to say, that crossing the Rhine, from Germany to France, one was struck by the stark and obvious differences. Even though in those days, 1975, Germany still wore war scars here and there, it was strikingly cleaner, the people bore themselves with greater energy and vigor, appeared more industrious and committed to whatever they were doing. French languor is not just a cliche.
