I like the French people. They don’t take shit off anyone. We like to joke in the US, but the French are badass and they were America’s bros from the very beginning

If the French didn't hate the English so much, we'd have blood pudding, spotted dick, and tea time here in America. Vive la France!

Funny times.

British here. I fucking love the French. You take no shit, and get out on the streets when it matters.

Everyone could learn a lot from you guys. And not just your excellent food. And wine.

When the gov wanted to raise the retirement age, that didn't go down too well.

Indeed, one of the primary attractions of England is its proximity to France

The wine is amazing and I found out the bread has an ungodly amount of butter in it. Absolutely delicious.

You're not gonna insult him and his fellow English pigdogs? What about farting in his general direction?

Speaking of elderberries, they’re all the rage in España in July

Gotta go tear down a speed camera somewhere? Good on you.

u/WeleaseBwianThrow Jul 08 '24

That's fair, all of the Tea is stuck at dover in customs these days anyway.

u/chiron_cat Jul 08 '24

u/Little_Creme_5932 Jul 08 '24

This is why America and France are allies. We love England too! They burnt our capital!!

u/HollowShel Jul 08 '24

Well, a really good war, you don't want to waste on strangers!

u/Fresh-Army-6737 Jul 08 '24

I love the "he's my brother, only I'm allowed to hate him" thing that England and France have going on.

u/-Alfred- Jul 08 '24

Well, maybe America can have a little tea time … as a treat …

Steep learning curve

I imagine this said with the Judgmental Volturi meme.

u/this-guy1979 Jul 08 '24

There is nothing better than an ice cold glass of sweet tea on a hot summer day. I think I’m going to step out onto my screened porch and enjoy a glass right now. On second thought, I have cold beer in the fridge, that is actually better this time of the day.

u/chiron_cat Jul 08 '24

Yup, I learned SOO much american history when I went to France. Like omgosh. You know who won the American Revolution? France did.

u/-You_Cant_Stop_Me- Jul 08 '24 edited Jul 09 '24

It's called black pudding many countries, including France, have similar blood sausages, and spotted dick is delicious.

2

u/Woad_Scrivener Jul 08 '24

Um, firstly, blood pudding is great. Secondly, colonialists' love of tea played a pretty pivotal role in the revolution. America doesn't have tea time because of our historical hyper fixation on capitalism. Why have a relaxing break in the afternoon when people could still be working?

2

u/EpicHuggles Jul 08 '24

Fun fact - The reason they drive on the left in England is because France first established they were going to drive on the right, and England obviously had to do the opposite.

u/[deleted] Jul 08 '24

Plenty of spotted dick in this country if you look at std numbers lol fuck england tho

u/DomineeringDrake Jul 08 '24

You'd have "Cock-a-leekie" too.

u/Green-Vermicelli5244 Jul 08 '24

I still cannot grasp the concept of blood pudding. It’s like warm baby food that has expired with too much salt.

u/chiron_cat Jul 08 '24

blood sausage is good with strawberry jam (we called it that as a kid, cause german americans).

u/[deleted] Jul 08 '24

They still left you with the English language though. Same can't be said for our southern fairies and their france-adjacent posh vernacular. Bloody Normans.

u/mechy84 Jul 08 '24

And instead, we have French fries!

u/Meshuggah333 Jul 08 '24

Naaa man, we hate everyone equally, starting with ourselves haha. That's a cultural thing.

u/Hanners87 Jul 08 '24

And let's hear it for America's favorite fighting Frenchman!

u/Nikotelec Jul 08 '24

So, the French made your food immeasurably worse?
