Post by: MrRiplEy[H] on October 16, 2006, 01:53:03 AM: Your hatred towards France is petty and pathetic.

If a Frenchman came here to make a list of all the shortcomings of your country, it would be an ultra flamefest. And before you say anything, yes they can find lots.

Are you still living in 1940? The rest of us are passing 2006 fast.

Not that I like France too much either, they can be arrogant salamanders.. Still I find this kind of posting a bit tasteless. Freedom fries.. gimme a break :rofl

Post by: MrRiplEy[H] on October 16, 2006, 03:42:43 AM: Yeah but repeating them for 50 years tells something.

I've always wondered why ppl take France issues so personal, as if they did something horrible to personally offend everyone. In fact if I understood right, it was simply a few biased writings in the media during some political disagreement.

The genesis of the mass hatred or perceived hatred stems from the WWII veterans accounts of how the French treated them after the liberation of France from the Nazi's. On the list of who treated the American liberator's the worst was France. Some of this is documented in "Biggest Brother" the life story of Maj. Dick Winters and I think only touched up in "Band Of Brothers" the story of Easy Company. The only part of France, according to those reports, that treated the Allied army with any real appreciation were the people in the Normandy area IIRC.

There was also that small matter of making the F-111's go around the Cotentin peninsula in '86. I know, small matters, but an issue none-the-less.

Hey haXXor!! (I still think that's hilarious!)

I don't know or remember the specific details but I think the direct route from the bases in England were a through only France. I am not 100% sure though.
Title: France is really cool!
Post by: straffo on October 16, 2006, 05:41:11 AM: Sure , the direct path is over France ,the 2 other alternates routes are (from England)

Over Bay of Biscay then over Spanish Pyrenees

Or

Over Belgium,Swiss* or Ostreich and Italia

*I don't think the swiss would have agree

Post by: Skuzzy on October 16, 2006, 03:00:58 PM: Condemning an entire country for the actions of a small percentage is rather ignorant. Much like people overseas condemning all Americans for the actions of a few.

France is a wonderful place to visit. People are friendly and very easy going. The countryside is beautiful. Just stay out of Paris. But then again, Parisiennes (for the most part) are a clique' unto themselves.

:rofl chicken that's the only thing having a taste close to frog legs !
The frog is less dry and "stringy" than the chicken.

The closer in texture is the "sot-l'y-laisse"/"solilesse" (I'd translate by "what the idiot leave") the tastiest (and smaller) part of chicken

look here : http://chefsimon.com/sot.htm

Seriously it's not a really tasty or worth the effort, I don't have eaten frog legs since about 10/15 year
Title: France is really cool!
Post by: FBplmmr on October 16, 2006, 05:18:10 PM: here in florida frog legs can be had at some "local quisine " eateries.. and they are like little chicken wings...sorry they do taste alot like chicken.
Title: France is really cool!
Post by: storch on October 16, 2006, 05:22:28 PM: I was just going to say that. frogs are mighty fine beer fare and much better than chicken wings.
Title: France is really cool!
Post by: BlueJ1 on October 16, 2006, 05:23:53 PM: Im going to ignore the comments on wings. :)

How do they normally prepare forg legs?

Post by: Saintaw on October 16, 2006, 05:30:11 PM: butter, garlic...lots of garlic. (just like snails)

Used to love this when I was a kid, haven't had any for years. Had some with tomato sauce when I was in spain, wasn't so great IMO.
Title: France is really cool!
Post by: straffo on October 16, 2006, 05:34:49 PM: The traditional way is sauté with parsil garlic and butter, without the taste of garlic/parsil it's rather insipid ... exactly like the snails.

Post by: Casca on October 16, 2006, 06:35:54 PM: Whilst crawling the tapa bars in Seville many years ago I ran across pajaritos. Tiny birds you popped in your mouth bones beak and all. Duly fortified with some of the local tinto I found them to be quite toothsome. Doubt I could look one in the eye and eat it today though.

I love Andalucia.
