Xi Jinping and his wife, forced to eat French food

He thought all cheese was as delicious as the Wisconsin cheddar he had during his semester abroad in Iowa.

still blows my mind he just roomed with a random Iowan family and is still close with them

like in a different reality this should allow some kind of common ground between our nations or some shit
- im so fuckin jealous. it should have been me
- I guess him spending that much time in Wisconsin means he speaks English. In the Chinese recordings I've heard he sounds Morgan Freeman like. I wonder what he sounds like in English?

It's a bit strange that the only food that I know to be French is baguette which is just a bread.

Their pastries and cooking methods as s general rule are great. Not sure if they found the one bad chef in France or what.
- It's just a photo taken at a random moment while attending some event, people's expressions are constantly shifting, you can be enjoying something and have a dissatisfied-looking expression on your face for a fraction of a second for like a thousand different reasons.
  
  I feel like that is obvious and I'm all for dunking on the Western hegemony in whatever genuine or silly way but I sincerely hope no one in this thread is genuinely sitting here like "Oh my goodness, President Xi is offended by French cuisine! "
- I've visited Paris once and all the food I had was mediocre at best. The restaurants I've visited don't know how to cook a steak, it was always overcooked. We went to one fancy place that was okay but all the normal food was really disappointing. The bakeries were good though.
Foie gras, ortolan bunting, steak tartare, escargot

(CW: Animal cruelty esp on the first 2)
Raclette, Fondue, Bœuf Bourguignon, Tartiflette

(Three of them being just potato/cheese/meat)
- Raclette, Fondue
  
  These could also be Swiss, but then again, Swiss people are just mountain French.
  
  There's also southern french and occitan food, like boullabaise, ratatouille, or nicoise salad. French food is extremely regional.
Le Fishe Au Chocolat

Do we think Xi is a wife guy?

"How did they manage to make food that tastes just like how the fr*nch act?"

"It's just... a piece of cheese?"

French food is just sticks of butter...

Disgost disgost

:xi-agony:

Babe! It's 4pm, time for your french food!

Yes honey

We need this as an emoji

"We are so serving him stinky tofu next time he's in Beijing."

There’s this one drink my wife and I tried in Beijing that looks like a coffee but smells and tastes pretty much like raw sewage, they should give that to him.
- Douzhi?
