Cruel, heartless, totally deserved. Appropriate friendly banter.
What do you mean? That's just reality, isn't it?
Some say there are islands there that have food without flavour.
Nah, that's just misinformation.

Meh, "proper cuisine" is definitely accurate since it's our national pride, but most of the others don't really feel like french stereotypes. "Soggy pastry" for Denmark even sounds suspiciously american, I've never heard anyone say that about this country in France and I don't even know what it's referring to
Yeah as a Scandinavia living in france, all that part is totally off too.
The Meatball thing? Sounds amerikanish too, def not french.
The meatball thing came from Ikea 100%
i mean maybe that's what made it well known outside sweden, but meatballs are also a bog standard thing inside sweden.
Meatballs with mashed potatoes, gravy, and lingonberries is the "default food" basically, like fish and chips in the UK.
I took a look at the website this is coming from, it seems to be mostly the blog author's interpretation of what the stereotypes are for each of their maps

"inventors" is the best diss i've ever seen for modern swedish food
i asked a friend from italy what she thought about our pizza and she basically said "as long as i don't think of it as pizza it's fine"
she and her bf would regularly hang out with the guy who ran the only italian pizzeria in town and they would shit-talk our food for hours. mad respect.
the way i'd summarize our cuisine is that the natively available food is basically "meat and parsnip stew", and thus we have a profound cultural (bordering on genetic) trauma which causes us to give precisely 0 fucks about what is "correct" or "looks good" and only care about it being tasty and interesting.
i feel like you're underselling our dependency on "old fish" and "just boil some grains"

Russians actually call russian salad "olivier", after the guy who made it, but it was invented in Russia by a man that was born there, so I am not sure you can say it is French.

Chicken Tikka Masala was invented in the UK. I can't think of a single item of French cuisine I would choose over Chicken Tikka Masala.
I know it's part of your transition period and are forced by law to continue the 100 year war on a culinary manner.
I'd say that the proper French culinary colonialist equivalent to the Tikka Massala is the Bahn Mi sandwhich and that feels like a proper match for it.
But now come up with a dish that doeesn't take any inspiration from former colonies and I think most of them can be beaten by a simple onion soup

"Ice cube salad"?
Our Finnish cuisine is so non-existent people can't even make jokes about it.

Rotten cabbage rocks, especially the Korean varieties
This feels more like [email protected]!
Thanks for mentioning, I didn't know about this. Just subbed!
It's ironic that they've missed out Ireland, throwing some great hunger shade.

LOL, that's funny. As an italian, I regret not having tried real french cuisine yet.

What's "soggy pastry" talking about?
I'm more concerned about the fact that they think Austrians subsist on the corpse of a queen.

Technically the French call the puff pastries most countries seem to equate to typically French (the croissant f.i.) after Vienna. Those are called Vienoiseries
More like according an American person who identifies as French.
The French admit that βFrench friesβ are in fact Belgian? Sounds very un-French.
The term French Fries was most likely coined by American GIs, the French never had anything to do with that

Every frenchperson who came to serbia eats like they have never tasted food before. Dunno
They do that everywhere regardless, disregard.
No such thing as too much pepper
I can confirm there IS such a thing as too much Oregano though.
