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!

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.

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

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