Answer 3

It's impossible to say any one style is better than the other...let alone the best. I love all sorts of foods...just depends on my mood. I'm Asian and obviously love Asian food. But I often prepare French, Italian, Moroccan, Indian foods as well. I can't choose....just not possible. There are many many favourites of mine that below to other ethnic cuisines. Love them all. P.S...I do think the French are amazing in preparing sauces!

Answer 4

Hello from France. That's definitely based on opinion. The french definitely know how to make some things, and there are those things that just make you squeam. The bread is amazing however and the pastries...oh the pastries. I live in Brittany and I love the crepes, galettes and Breton butter. You should definitely look into making crepes and galettes as they are not at all hard to make! (crepes- sweet, galettes- savoury) The flours are different as well. I love galettes with chevre cheese and stewed tomatoes and crepes are wonderful with nutella or just plain old sugar. However I am not the biggest fan of brasserie food.

Answer 5

Not necessarily so.. The best food is made with the best ingredients prepared with imagination and flair. It is not now the monopoly of any one country or its cuisine.
Historically though the French virually invented modern european cookery in the 16-17 Cent. Chefs like Brillat- Savarin and Escoffier raised it almost to an art and a philosophy. Nowadays fusion cookery attempts to include all that is best from a range of culinary styles.
Taste, literally is an objective quality. Buckfast or beaujolais, burgers or bon appetit..it's your choice!

Answer 6

I'm french and I'd say: NO!

Especially the "haute cuisine" which is certainly what most will think of when speaking of french food is simply ridiculous. Look at the price tag and what you get for it!

Don't get me wrong, french food is decent, but by far not the best.

There are wunderful things, like "saucisse sèche de montagne" or "crèpe", wonderful wines and some cheese are absolutely delicious (roquefort, St. Néctaire, camembert etc.), but in my opinion it doesn't suffice to label it the best food.

@BILL: french fries are actually from Belgium, not France. (haha, so the "freedom fries" made us laugh a lot!)

Answer 7

Well prepared food made from fresh ingredients are found in all kinds of cuisine, not only French. When in France, I did notice that there is more of a reverence for good food and that bistros consistently served delicious and well prepared food.

Answer 8

There are two great cuisines of the world. French and Chinese. Not so much because of their flavor but because the methods of cooking each cuisine is codefied. That means that the lo mien that you get in your local chinese resaurant is the same stuff that is being served in China. The same goes for French food. The Sole Veronique at the local French restaurant is the same stuff that is served in Paris. It is not to say that these two cuisuse are better than others, only they are more consistent because of their codification.

Answer 9

Japanese food is the best, because unlike other people, they find substitutes for making food that tastes great without using all the fat and grease, and high colesterol things. They use things like soysauce, lots of soy (tofu and stuff) and eat a lot of fish, and another way you can say it is that they're food is better, and they exercise alot because they walk everywhere and take buses and taxis instead of driving and sitting on their butts all day. but if you don'tlike fish, that's not going to be any use. Fish has the good oils that the body needs, so it's healthy for you, unlike beef or chicken or pork or something. and japanese cuisine, if you don't go for the fast food, doesn't really use alot of oils , like chinese, where they use alot of oil and fry stuff alot, so yea, basically, japanese food is good. i live in america but i'm japanese, and when i went to japan for two weeks, i only saw two fat people. and here in america, you look outside your window and see like 10. and in france, they use an extreme amount of butter, and their foods are really rich, so it's not good, actually, it's going to be fatty and high in calories and really rich, so french is not the greatest if you're going on a diet or something. and most europe is probably not good, but spain uses a lot of seafood, so it might not be that bad. oh, and japanese cuisines include a lot of vegetables so it's good.

Answer 10

Actually it's good once in a while because it 'sticks to your ribs'. Definitely not healthy in the long term. Then again there's the French paradox - French people are healthier than Americans because of the red wine they consume.

Answer 11

French food evolved from starving people eating whatever they could catch or scavage, so I give props to a culture who can take a snail and make it into an expensive appetizer, and pig feet and snouts into a main course. It is not, however, something I'm too fond of besides the steak frittes.

Give me Asian any day... Thai, Vietnamese, Korean, Chinese, mmm. I like Japanese too though I will never develop a taste for natto and don't intend to either, yuk!
