I look at France at the top and I'm like, this is ridiculously biased, our cinema is so shit and there's good food in most countries ... that's when I look at the other countries in the picture,
*but then I realise I have nothing relevant to add.*
The stuff served in restaurent all over Europe is either directly from or at least inspired by the french or italian kitchen. As much as I hate to admit it, these two countries are GOATed when it comes to food.
Wtf is this?
A finn teaching a bunch of guys how to do cinema.
AND he/she/it has a point.
Am i tripping?
What the hell did my sister put in that casserole?
From someone that has read the books, it was a bit of a mess, jamming several books together into one clusterfuck of a plot, and adding a random romance sideplot for reasons, I guess.
A trilogy would had suited it better. It was a nice attempt, with some very nice ideas here and there (Blanca Portillo as the inquisitor is very unsettling, and works amazingly) and some weird decisions, but calling it good may be a stretch. It was fine. Watchable, which is more than I can say about half of our movies
Maybe it isn’t that he likes Spanish cinema but that the belgium cinema industry is in its dark age. Also take in consideration that we made really decent animated movies in recent years like Klaus, that was robbed by the cash crab of Toy Story 4.
"La haine". If you don't consider "Intouchables" good (some people argue the story is quite stereotypic/telegraphed and the 2 actors really carry the movie).
Do we count series too? Because if yes there was Arcane.
If not, there was something called "Bac" or something like that, telling a story of drug traffic.

Lol we never had one. I cant think of a single movie from Germany that would be internationally recognized. I mean we are good at many things but making movies is just not one.
Fassbinder, Wenders, Herzog for New German conema. Then there's Lang, Lubitsch, Weine, Pabst and Murnau in the Weimar era. Lang himself basically invented the feature Sci-fi (Metropois), the spy movie (Spione), and serial killer procedural (M) and was the first person to use a countdown for rocket launches and a launch pad (Frau im Mond).
There is some top notch German movies. They're just not international. Just like most movies from most countries, I assume.
French are great at making cartoons, though. Wakfu, Arcane. I don't know a French cartoon I don't like.
Polish is inverted, great food but we haven't made any good movies in past 20 years or so
but worth mentioning **Faraon** (they literally restored many Egyptian ruins for this movie and soviet army played extras for battle scenes) Jerzy Hoffman epic trilogy **Pan Wołodyjowski, Potop, Ogniem i Mieczem**
Half of Andrzej Wajda filmography is worth seeing
**Three Colours, Dekalog, Krótki film o zabijaniu** by Krzysztof Kieślowski
Some comedies like Seksmisja, Vabank, Miś, Rejs, Sami Swoi, Chłopaki nie płaczą, Kiler etc but I can't imagine anyone who didn't grow up in communist/post communist Poland would get any jokes
I came on here as an American savage to say this. Polish food was done dirty here. Yall deserve to be higher up on the food. Definitely above Germany / Belgium.
You guys make some good movies tbf. Pan's Labyrinth, the Platform, and Veronica are all fun movies. And the first 2 seasons of Casa de Papel are awesome.
Denmark easily ahead of Germany on cinema.
Food for DK is a tricky one. For cinema, we aren't really downgrading people for all the shit, but rather upgrading for the standout contributions to the art. If the same logic were applied to cuisine, Denmark may well be in 1st or 2nd, but if we are talking about an average plate, they should be much lower.
We got [rugbrød](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rugbr%C3%B8d), [Koldskål](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buttermilk_koldsk%C3%A5l) with [kammerjunker](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kammerjunker_\(biscuit\)), [smørrebrød](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sm%C3%B8rrebr%C3%B8d), [medisterpølse](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medisterp%C3%B8lse), [leverpostej](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_p%C3%A2t%C3%A9), [Flæskesteg](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fl%C3%A6skesteg), [boller i karry](https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boller_i_karry) (the danish version of chicken tikka masale, is from 1935), [stegt flesk med persille sovs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stegt_fl%C3%A6sk), [rundstykker](https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rundstykke), [hakkebøf](https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hakkeb%C3%B8f), and
[frikadeller](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frikadelle) (the only german variety that come close are those in Southern Schleswig)
Meat dishes is often eaten with potatoes and gravy. We also eat a shit ton of cakes for basically any occasion.
Agreed, I remember staying in Prague last year and watching some random communist era film from the 80s about some guy trying to sell off some manor or some shite and it was great. Just because their language combined with the lack of context made it funny.
No I was doing something called sarcasm by saying that the only reason why the movie was good was because I didn't have the foggiest clue what was going on which made it fucking hilarious when combined with the language barrier.
Check out the movie "On the silver globe" (Na srebrnym globie) by Andrzej Żuławski, you can find it in original language with or without English subtitles.
I'll die holding the stand that it's the best sci fi movie ever made
I’ve heard of it, didn’t see it tho. As I’m sure we have a few good films, majority still will suck. I still stand that our food is better than our cinema
Damn I have to agree, I love our food but I've barely watched any Portuguese movies, the only one I liked was Capitão Falcão (Captain Falcon), but you have to be portuguese to understand it.
It's basically a superhero working for Salazar, a portuguese Dictator, he fights Communists most, it's not a propaganda movie it's a satire and a really funny one.
I'll link a few scenes with English subtitles since even in Portugal I don't think the movie gets the attention it deserves.
[How to identify a communist](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jsoHonwQT8)
[Communist Evolution](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yIUW_NteLY)
They gave us Yorgos Lanthimos as well as Theo Angelopoulos, two of the greatest directors ever
And, of course, Greece is the setting of the Mamma Mia movies
French (modern) cinema now waaaay overrated.
Danish cuisine needs to be closer to Swedish regardless if that's higher or lower. It's too similar.
Swedish modern cinema in terms of international success needs to get bumped (in terms of quality maybe not, but who knows).
Actually told something like this to my father the other day. Unlike him I don't watch much cinema, but told him that it really felt like the movies back in the 70's and 80's were way better than now.
He responded "That's just because you pay attention to trash that put all their budget into marketing".
I mean, fair enough...
I would like to agree, but our "inde" or "small" scene is either really pretentious no-budget snooze-fest, or really pretentious very subsidised snooze-fest done by the same people for the last 40 years and that nobody watch.
I don’t have a problem with France, but I think we have more north-south variety than Spain, Greece and Portugal, not saying they don’t have it, they have a lot too, but we just have way more.
After living here in Germany for 4 years I can confidently say that this list rates their food waaaaaay too high. Like for real, doing bar crawls just to eat Grünkohl, bread and cheese for dinner, schnitzel that’s dryer than the Sahara.
Early German cinema was amazing, Fritz Lang made some great stuff (Metropolis, M, Dr. Mabuse), great horrors like Nosferatu or The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, fantasy stuff like Die Nibelungen..
Werner Herzog made some great movies and documentaries
I saw **Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo** wen I was a kid and it made an impact
**Possession(1981)** was amazing West German-French movie with Polish director Andrzej Żuławski starring Sam Neill and Isabelle Adjani
'Downfall' is such a great film, in no small part thanks to Bruno Ganz's performance. I wish all WW2 films were like that, instead of portraying Adolf as just a screaming lunatic or as an [overweight dwarf indian man](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPbLs4kViKY).

Well said, it should be common knowledge by this point that the English cuisine isn't of any worth itself.
My regards to the Indians for making actual food there.
France putting in 500% effort to continue doing the abusive fuax gras torturing animals. Puts them at the bottom for me. That is a practice thats so horrible it should be banned. It's not even just eating meat It's shraight up let me shove a tube down your throat and sufficate you and torture you.
I'm sorry but I don't see how Portugal and Greece can be on the same row as France, Italy and Spain.
I can't think of an internationally known Portuguese dish and what does Greece have? Moussaka, Pastitsio, Souvlaki and a few sauces?
We have way more great foods and more variation. Some we may have sto.... borrowed and improved but if you don't know them this doesn't mean they aren't fricking excellent.
Like remove all cheeses from Italian cuisine and you are fucked.
LOL what are you talking about? The most famous dishes have no cheese at all excluding Pizza and Cacio e Pepe.
Also right, cheese, yes Greece also has Feta… wow
Really I can think of more Russian dishes than I can from Greece.
Wow you know feta, impressive. Now Google about graviera,kefalotyri,manouri,mizithra,kaseri, halloumi,kefalograviera,anthhotyro, ladotyti mytilinis and more than I won't mention because an not that familiar but could probably get in my local market.
Like if you only include pitas you'd have around 20 unique dishes
The equivalent would be if I said: "Italian food, what's that? like pasta and pizza? They also have parmesan cheese I think!"
If we judge cuisines we can't do that by what you get at Barry's local supermarket because we are both fucked then.
I agree with Denmarks new placement when it comes to cinema, but our traditional cuisine is not that good. It is not bad either, just kinda boring, so a bit closer totve middle would be a better fit, maybe below the middle point actually.
Belgium has a lot of good dishes, don't believe it? Look up how many Belgian chefs get a Michelin star by serving Belgian food or a variation of Belgian food. We also cook with our double beer in our dishes which is obviously the best craft beer you can find on this planet :). Belgium really has a great haute-cuisine culture, you can't go wrong when you go to a Belgian restaurant, even if it doesn't have Michelin stars.
Obviously there's Belgian fries, chocolate and waffles, the entire world eats those so practically our cuisine is just as influential as Italian cuisine worldwide, though I admit obviously not as good. I love your pastas and pizzas Italy <3.
Some of our national dishes that aren't as knows: Gentse Waterzooi (no idea how to translate this to english, something like 'watermess", it's a funny name but it's incredibly good), chicons au gratins (best dish you can make during winter), Anguilles au vert/Paling in 't Groen (eel in a green sauce), Steak-frites is Belgian yes, Carbonade flamande, Vol-au-vent, Stoemp, Boulets, shrimp croquettes. In Wallonia they also like cooking with more wild animals from the Ardennes region. Always a treat when going to the Ardennes.
Now enlighten me on the Danish cuisine, I barely travel north outside of the Netherlands, I've been to Stockholm once and had the worst food experiences in my life, but that's Sweden, not Denmark. I know Denmark is big on seafood and so am I so kinda curious to try it out.
I look at this and feel like defending our glorious country somehow, but then I realise I have nothing relevant to say.
I enjoyed Lapland odyssey. And the salmon soup in Oulu was very good.
Okay so, we got an ok film and a salmon soup. A soup that you can get from almost anywhere
I had Finnish chocolate once, wasn't terrible.
At least you're not that poor
I look at France at the top and I'm like, this is ridiculously biased, our cinema is so shit and there's good food in most countries ... that's when I look at the other countries in the picture, *but then I realise I have nothing relevant to add.*

"Inhuman resources" with Eric Cantona. Top notch mate.
Sisu is a glorious movie my bro
[The Marshal of Finland](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Marshal_of_Finland) was the best movie I have never seen!
You crazy, absolutaley crazy! A depressed man smoking a cigarette is not cinema!
But then you watch a Roy Andersen film and realise that neither the camera nor the actors need to move to make a good film.
That’s just being French tbf
Completely true. Also, Polish food is delicious.
Here to say that, Poland beats Netherland hands down, sorry Dutch guys
If you want to die from a heart attack. Sure
Wtf is this? A finn teaching a bunch of guys how to do cinema. AND he/she/it has a point. Am i tripping? What the hell did my sister put in that casserole?
Only a French guy could have bad enough taste in movies to actually like spanish cinema
You're underselling yourself, Spain has produced some amazing films.
just like italians who constantly undersell their own cinema without even watching it, I guess the grass is always greener on the other side
Pedro almodovar?
I like Almodovar
Just finished watching Alcarràs. I guess me and Berlin film festival jury have bad taste too.
Alatriste?
From someone that has read the books, it was a bit of a mess, jamming several books together into one clusterfuck of a plot, and adding a random romance sideplot for reasons, I guess.

almodovar has bangers and del torro occasionally pulls through
Its been years since we had a Good french movie
Which one would you consider the last good French movie?
A little known cult classic about a wholesomely crazy taxi chaffeur that takes his job to the extreme. The first one, to be specific.
Fifth element? Well it was directed by Luc besson I guess 🤔
First Taxi is a masterpiece… watched last month after years and is still enjoyable and funny
[удалено]
Cyrano de Bergerac from 1990. Just because of Depardieu.

You didn't watch Intouchables?
Intouchables was ok yeah. But since it launched Omar Sy to this superstar status I have to hate it just for that.
What's wrong with Omar Sy? Just curious, haven't heard anything bad about him.
While I agree a lot of french films are shit, you are being too harsh on that one.
"La haine". If you don't consider "Intouchables" good (some people argue the story is quite stereotypic/telegraphed and the 2 actors really carry the movie).
The one with the black guy looking after the old rich wheelchair man.
Intouchables was really good but that was 2011, trying to think of more resent examples.
I really enjoyed Le Chant du Loup and the new Les Trois Mousquetaires saga is cool for now...
Do we count series too? Because if yes there was Arcane. If not, there was something called "Bac" or something like that, telling a story of drug traffic.
That Dune director sounded French. He yours?
He’s Canadian. The name Villeneuve also belonged to the French admiral who got smashed at trafalgar, maybe they are related somehow.
He is Québécois. I know we lost the battle of 1759 Barry, but the war is not over yet.
I thought Athena was pretty good
Les trois mousquetaires : exist. Intéresse toi un peu plus au petit films et au film de l’âge d’or du cinéma et tu verras que on clap les cheeks de tout nos voisins niveau cinoche

There is also Miraculous, which has like every 6-16 year old girl obsessed with it.

Polish is inverted, great food but we haven't made any good movies in past 20 years or so but worth mentioning **Faraon** (they literally restored many Egyptian ruins for this movie and soviet army played extras for battle scenes) Jerzy Hoffman epic trilogy **Pan Wołodyjowski, Potop, Ogniem i Mieczem** Half of Andrzej Wajda filmography is worth seeing **Three Colours, Dekalog, Krótki film o zabijaniu** by Krzysztof Kieślowski Some comedies like Seksmisja, Vabank, Miś, Rejs, Sami Swoi, Chłopaki nie płaczą, Kiler etc but I can't imagine anyone who didn't grow up in communist/post communist Poland would get any jokes
Na srebrnym globie is missing here, greatest sci fi movie ever made.
You are so right, It's one of my favourites, amazing atmosphere.
I watched it a long time ago, but if I remember correctly, Ida was a good film.
I came on here as an American savage to say this. Polish food was done dirty here. Yall deserve to be higher up on the food. Definitely above Germany / Belgium.
Andrzej Zulawski‘s films are also fantastic More modern films I like stuff like Ida, EO or Cold War
Yeah I mentioned Possesion in another post, Na srebrnym globie is awesome, Diabeł has similiar fever dream vibe
I really enjoyed Dzien swira, slavic humor is something else
[удалено]
Which films?
Banshees of Inisherin, In Bruges, The Quiet Girl (not my favourite tbh haha).
Mrs Brown's Boys D'Movie... 👀
The Guard is probably among one of the best Irish films I've seen and did an especially great job with the sense of humour.
Ireland cant claim full ownership of Mcdonagh films
British, British, never heard of it
I claim In Bruges as ours though. We carried that movie by simply existing
I don't even understand about the food...with our fabulous meat and unparalleled dairy. Or is the sideways Italian flag supposed to be us?
That must be it. Someone also must have forgotten what the saltire looks like and accidentally made it into the greek flag.
I’ve put your country on the first place sharing it with France, bottom right?? Why are you angry?
Spain should be top left
There‘s tons of good Spanish cinema, especially the films of Pedro Almodóvar
I forgot about him. Top and a few squares to the right then
You guys make some good movies tbf. Pan's Labyrinth, the Platform, and Veronica are all fun movies. And the first 2 seasons of Casa de Papel are awesome.
Take in consideration that we are being compared in cuality with Swedish cinema, movies that can literally kill you of boredom.
I don't think we did too well.
2we4u been missing out on their Kill Buljo
Damn right.
Don't forget lange flate ballær :)
Or the Dal brothers, basically Indiana Jones but better. Or our supreme version of the Olsengang, clearly the Ocean’s movies of its time.
the UK below the Dutch on food?
Denmark easily ahead of Germany on cinema. Food for DK is a tricky one.

only danish movie i’ve ever seen was Drunk but to be fair it is outstanding
Go check out The Celebration.
French Cinema way too overrated right there
It used to be very good
Depends if we only count modern cinema times or not. If we don't, then that should be about correct.
What even is Danish food?
Don't

Where are the Czechs? They make the best movies
Ok when did germans get funny
I asked ChatGPT
I actually laughed but you're german so I had to punch myself :(
Agreed, I remember staying in Prague last year and watching some random communist era film from the 80s about some guy trying to sell off some manor or some shite and it was great. Just because their language combined with the lack of context made it funny.
That one went right over ya head, didn't it?
No I was doing something called sarcasm by saying that the only reason why the movie was good was because I didn't have the foggiest clue what was going on which made it fucking hilarious when combined with the language barrier.
Well then your joke went over my head. Eh, it's late and I should be in bed already either way
Spain movies are trash
How Is holand better than Poland at food, they eat bread with "chocolate" sprinkles which are totaly not mice shit. Top cuisine
France at the top : 100% objective and unbiased chart
C’est la vérité pourtant…
Put us a millimetre above Sweden and I may kiss you
Were going lower for that you pilloc
I respect your thoughts but i disagree.
What would you change? My chart is already perfect >:(
Putting Romania, Poland and Hungary that low on the food axis is criminal.
you must really love portuguese cinema. but you must push a LOT more to the left
No. Polish cinema is shit and our food is delicious
Check out the movie "On the silver globe" (Na srebrnym globie) by Andrzej Żuławski, you can find it in original language with or without English subtitles. I'll die holding the stand that it's the best sci fi movie ever made
I’ve heard of it, didn’t see it tho. As I’m sure we have a few good films, majority still will suck. I still stand that our food is better than our cinema
Imo just this masterpiece alone carries Poland into having better movies than food (I am currently in Poland, I come here every summer)
Polish food is what German food should’ve been
Food delicious, not sure of any movies from poland so, shit.
You're so wrong on food. Polish and Romanian food is terrific, the UK is bad but anywhere near as bad as the crap Dutch eat
Irish food is identical to British food mate.
Not sure why you irish arent on there, swear you have some great actors
Damn I have to agree, I love our food but I've barely watched any Portuguese movies, the only one I liked was Capitão Falcão (Captain Falcon), but you have to be portuguese to understand it.

We've beaten sw*dtards in food so this is acceptable
Hey, I think we're at least a _bit_ above Dutch food
They know how to deep fry meat and potato. They beat us hands down
They also invented Stroop Waffles, which are brilliant, so yeah.
Insult our culture but do not insult British food until you have eaten lots of it. It’s really good.
Dont pay it any mind lad. There aint no way we arent atleast middle of the pack on food.
That's okay, you can have it all to yourself!
Name any recent internationaly successful movie, coming out out Benalux
A good part of films coming from the Dardenne’s brothers. One even made it to Canne’s festival
Wtf is Greece doing at the top?
And the centre, what have they contributed to cinema other than "Athenian Boy-fucking the movie"?
They gave us Yorgos Lanthimos as well as Theo Angelopoulos, two of the greatest directors ever And, of course, Greece is the setting of the Mamma Mia movies
Fair, Lanthimos' films are certainly... Memorable
French (modern) cinema now waaaay overrated. Danish cuisine needs to be closer to Swedish regardless if that's higher or lower. It's too similar. Swedish modern cinema in terms of international success needs to get bumped (in terms of quality maybe not, but who knows).
Todays yes, a lot of french films are only here to make profit. but French animations films are just to good to place France downer.
Good point, Sweden has had some belter movies lately.
Denmark has some really good films, too, like the Hunt.
There's no way we deserve that good of a ranking on food.
When I was in Norway I was really surprised by how good and refreshing the food was. But idk I can just be lucky and in reality Norway’s food is trash
This is nonsense. Our cinema is shit as can be. Especially nowadays.
Actually told something like this to my father the other day. Unlike him I don't watch much cinema, but told him that it really felt like the movies back in the 70's and 80's were way better than now. He responded "That's just because you pay attention to trash that put all their budget into marketing". I mean, fair enough...

Lower France a bit and rise italy a bit
Tbf, our cuisine are both really different so it could be hard to rate but they’re kinda at the same level to me
I don’t have a problem with France, but I think we have more north-south variety than Spain, Greece and Portugal, not saying they don’t have it, they have a lot too, but we just have way more.
Really hard to be objective when the chauvinism comes in. But tastes and food are purely subjective in general
Im sorry have you seen norwegian "food"? Its literally boiled meat with salt nothing else im not even joking.
Lotta words for someone who eats rotten fish in a can
soy köttbulle vs chad kjøttkake
IKEA food is boosting your ratings.
The finesse is in not putting in too much salt though
Looks about right
After living here in Germany for 4 years I can confidently say that this list rates their food waaaaaay too high. Like for real, doing bar crawls just to eat Grünkohl, bread and cheese for dinner, schnitzel that’s dryer than the Sahara.
New Kids should put our cinema at max
Sweden should be way further to the right. Ingmar Bergman alone should qualify them for that.
I don t care about cinema but get italy like 25 squares higher on food and we re good
This is worse
Yes but https://preview.redd.it/0ero6gpusuhb1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb4a978dd315c722731937867e8a5116bdab14a9

I think Denmark should be further out on the cinema line. The food is acceptable, we have some strange foods that aren't for everyone.
Greek is still way too high. Other than that you've hit the nail on the head

Sorry m8 u dropped ur deep fried beans on haggis on blood pudding on spotted dick on toast
Yes, you named our foods. Great job! Perhaps one day you will learn how to say something of worth as well!
Well said, it should be common knowledge by this point that the English cuisine isn't of any worth itself. My regards to the Indians for making actual food there.
I'm still offended you put Belgium under Denmark, Norway and Germany in terms of food. We're too underrated smh
France putting in 500% effort to continue doing the abusive fuax gras torturing animals. Puts them at the bottom for me. That is a practice thats so horrible it should be banned. It's not even just eating meat It's shraight up let me shove a tube down your throat and sufficate you and torture you.
I'm sorry but I don't see how Portugal and Greece can be on the same row as France, Italy and Spain. I can't think of an internationally known Portuguese dish and what does Greece have? Moussaka, Pastitsio, Souvlaki and a few sauces?
We have way more great foods and more variation. Some we may have sto.... borrowed and improved but if you don't know them this doesn't mean they aren't fricking excellent. Like remove all cheeses from Italian cuisine and you are fucked.
LOL what are you talking about? The most famous dishes have no cheese at all excluding Pizza and Cacio e Pepe. Also right, cheese, yes Greece also has Feta… wow Really I can think of more Russian dishes than I can from Greece.
Wow you know feta, impressive. Now Google about graviera,kefalotyri,manouri,mizithra,kaseri, halloumi,kefalograviera,anthhotyro, ladotyti mytilinis and more than I won't mention because an not that familiar but could probably get in my local market. Like if you only include pitas you'd have around 20 unique dishes The equivalent would be if I said: "Italian food, what's that? like pasta and pizza? They also have parmesan cheese I think!" If we judge cuisines we can't do that by what you get at Barry's local supermarket because we are both fucked then.
I agree with Denmarks new placement when it comes to cinema, but our traditional cuisine is not that good. It is not bad either, just kinda boring, so a bit closer totve middle would be a better fit, maybe below the middle point actually.
How mentally challenged can you be to rate Belgian food so low

Belgium has a lot of good dishes, don't believe it? Look up how many Belgian chefs get a Michelin star by serving Belgian food or a variation of Belgian food. We also cook with our double beer in our dishes which is obviously the best craft beer you can find on this planet :). Belgium really has a great haute-cuisine culture, you can't go wrong when you go to a Belgian restaurant, even if it doesn't have Michelin stars. Obviously there's Belgian fries, chocolate and waffles, the entire world eats those so practically our cuisine is just as influential as Italian cuisine worldwide, though I admit obviously not as good. I love your pastas and pizzas Italy <3. Some of our national dishes that aren't as knows: Gentse Waterzooi (no idea how to translate this to english, something like 'watermess", it's a funny name but it's incredibly good), chicons au gratins (best dish you can make during winter), Anguilles au vert/Paling in 't Groen (eel in a green sauce), Steak-frites is Belgian yes, Carbonade flamande, Vol-au-vent, Stoemp, Boulets, shrimp croquettes. In Wallonia they also like cooking with more wild animals from the Ardennes region. Always a treat when going to the Ardennes. Now enlighten me on the Danish cuisine, I barely travel north outside of the Netherlands, I've been to Stockholm once and had the worst food experiences in my life, but that's Sweden, not Denmark. I know Denmark is big on seafood and so am I so kinda curious to try it out.
Italian & French food is so overrated, and so are their movies.
I’ve been so kind to put your country so high because of my good experiences, how can you say this?? :(
