My guess is that you have never been to France and had the real thing.
They may be able to make tasty meals out of the vilest ingredients you can
imagine.... fatty duck liver, snails etc. but some of their basic foods are
wonderful. I have very fond memories of the meals I had on my trips to
France. Having vacation in France and in the US that the very best meals I
had in the US would compare only with the very worst I had in France. How
do you compare a hotel breakfast of fresh croissants and baguettes with
creamy butter and rich tasty coffee with cheap toasted bagel and squeeze
bottle oleo and dishwater coffee?

You need a new travel agent if those were the "best" meals you had
in the US...

You're full of shit... that's what you eat in your own abode. Even
the Super 8 motor lodge free breakfast buffet has fresh croissants
with real butter, among lots of other good stuff. When I was in
France the food sucked, can't get a good steak regardless what you're
willing to pay, and their adult portions wouldn't satisfy a 12 pound
cat... I traveled Europe extensively and never saw decent food
anywhere, their best ain't as good as the typical US chain joint.
Euro food is not fresh, it's not refrigerated, and it's certainly not
clean... they don't even wash the human feces off the salad...just
like their women. And the friggin' disgusting french never STF up...
because of their language you can actually see the projectile spittle
flying out the mouths of their food handlers all over what you're
gonna eat. The French language is among the most unsanitary on the
planet.

The retired military guys that I work with agree with you...

They said that France is one of the filthiest, smelliest places that
they've ever been posted to. They put the midden piles in the FRONT yard
instead of out back in some out of the way corner too.

The last time I stayed in a Super 8 was in Colorado, and the breakfast was
an assortment of cheap breads, cheap English muffins and bagel looking
things with a squeeze bottle of margarine and squeeze bottle of grape jelly
and weak coffee with some sort of liquid whitener, not cream. Compare that
to the cheapest hotel we stayed at in France, in Verdun. The room, was only
$50 for the night and included a buffet with fresh croissants, fresh
baguettes, great coffee, boiled eggs, a selection of cold cuts and cheeses,
yoghurt and orange juice.

At that same hotel we ordered a three course meal. My wife ordered the
shrimp and avocado salad, which I expected to be half an avocado with a few
shrimps in it, but turned out to be a huge serving of shrimp salad with at
least one whole large avocado and at least a dozen good sized shrimp in the
shell on top. My Tourte Lorraine was about 6" in diameter and two inched
deep, a thick wad of sausage meat on the bottom and topped with a rich
cheesy custard. We were full by the time the steaks came, and they were
huge strip steaks. I could not finish mine.

Pity that you ate on the cheap. We ate well there, and for far less that it
would cost to eat in an equivalent restaurant here.

And the military people see all the best spots :-)
I found it to be quite clean, not as clean as Germany and Denmark, but
generally unlettered, except for the areas where the tourists flock and
throw their garbage all over.

But that isn't unusual in war conditions. Things changed after WWII...

You are a ****in' clueless and gormless ****, Shekky.

The above comments show you for exactly what you are. . . a ****!!

Travel Europe?? Tell me about it.

Asswipe.

Graeme

You are one stupid f.ck!!!!

I have travelled Europe exstensively and the food is marvellous.

You sound to me like one of those stupid US tourists that wants
to see a MacDonalds on every street corner.

I have had the marvellous French coffee with a crispy cheese
baguette to dip in it. I have also had that awfull never ending
coffee served up in most US restaurants.

The smell of a fromagerie in France is something I cannot
forget, the smell is of real cheese not that plastic "Swiss" you
are used to.

The reason you dont see the US sized portions in Europe is the
same reason you dont see the pig ugly porkers roaming the
streets of Europe that you see in most US cities.

You have obviously been on one of the "see Europe in 10 day"
excursions that are popular with some US citizens and have been
fed food commensurate to your mentality.

BTW I have had excellent food in the US as well, ignoramous
comments like this just **** me off.

We don't have a whole lot of US military posted in France. I wonder
where they're talking about?

That leaves you with third hand accounts of experiences someone had years
ago, compared to the more recent experience of some of the people posting
here.

FWIW, I'm not involved in this discussion. I was just pointing out
the use of the word "retired". I'll bow out gracefully now... ;-)

1. Graeme didn't type that. Sheldon did. Get your attributions straight.

2. Graeme isn't English. He's Scottish. He's *in* London.

You lie like a rug. I've frequented at hundreds of Super 8 motor inns
over a 20 year period from coast to coast, US and Canada. I've never
seen a bagel, english muffin, and any kind of margerine. The US and
Canada are the least expensive places on the planet for food...
everyone even complains that the portions are way too large. In
Europe they serve minscule portions and the quality is truly sad...
those frugal frogs don't even eat breakfast, whatever you ate you had
to pay for, and you got ripped off. You gonna tell me that Super 8
had no fresh made donuts, muffins, and danishes, all kinds of breads,
real butter, assorted cheeses, assorted preserves, assorted local
honeys, great fresh made coffee, cereals (hot and cold), various
juices, and a vast array of fresh fruits, and all you can eat and even
fill your pockets... the larger establishments serve eggs to order,
and all gratis.... then you've never been to a Super 8... then you're
simply a liar.

I've never been disappointed with a Super 8 breakfast and they all
serve far more then the minimum, in fact they strive to outdo the
competiton and each other. And out on the prairies, in the bread
basket, what they serve is truely unbelieveable, those folks can eat.
I remember a Super 8 in Indiana pig farm country, they served thick
ham steaks that covered the entire plate, all the fried eggs you
wanted, a mountain of hash browns, pancakes, syrup, and all that I
mentioned previously... yeah, some of those folks had rear ends that
wouldn't fit a John Deere combine but they sure loved their food...
even had soft serve ice cream for breakfast.

French ports were the very few places in the world where sailors made
sure to catch the liberty boat back to their ship to eat dinner...
they didn't even want to carouse with the women, those froggy skanks
stank so bad. And matters not where you go in Europe, no one owns a
toothbrush,, and I know for a fact, just by looking at their rotted
teeth there isn't even one dentist in all the UK... I saw the Queen's
choppers just recently on TV, way oversized and made of wood.

Not meals... the topic is *breakfast* in France. Frankly, I'm not a
big breakfast person and croissants don't appeal to me. I stayed on
an island in the heart of old Paris and frankly what I bought wasn't
any better than what I get at home.

This whole Usernet thing is brilliant. Poor Sheldon. Epitomises mental
retardation to a tee.

I love the quote "I traveled Europe extensively and never saw decent food
anywhere."

Lying moron. Probably doesn't even possess a passport.
