My uncle recently said "In the UK and the US, the customer is always right.
"In France, the customer is always wrong. If you don't like something in their restaurant, then it's your fucking fault for not reading the menu properly."

He ent far wrong.

I'm pretty sure, though
that your inability to read the menu doesn't actually excuse providing shit food.

In the eyes of the French, it does.

So they are deliberately fucking up things
just as punishment for being english? makes sense.

Also, I speak French, and it's still mostly shit. Most bistros in any town in rural France piss on Paris from a height. Fuck, I ate in a pseudobistro in Leith at the weekend that did a better confit than anything I've ever had in Paris.

You have to let them know the meal's shit by doing some VERY passive-aggressive smoking.
