Food, Vacation and Health: Today, it's been 10 days since my family and I have been visiting...

Today, it's been 10 days since my family and I have been visiting France. I've always wanted to try their culinary specialties but my dad says we "can't trust them". We've eaten at McDonald's 9/10 times. FML

Today, after months of avoiding fast food, I decided to eat some McDonald's french fries. Though the fries were delicious, they were not worth the agonizing 15 minutes I spent on the toilet afterwards. FML

Today, my friends wanted to try to dine and dash at a McDonald's. I had to explain why that wouldn't work. FML

Today, I made a tasty, healthy plant-based lunch for my family. They ate a few bites, spat it out, and then went to McDonald's "to eat real food, you know, food with meat in it." FML

Today, my parents ate at a new Italian restaurant. They said it was the best they'd ever had and brought me some, insisting I try it. It had so much garlic and sugar in it that I couldn't finish. They're upset because one of our cousins owns the restaurant, and they say I'm not being supportive. We're Irish, not Italian. FML

Today, my family are refusing to go out to eat with me anymore. Apparently, me liking my food cooked a certain way infuriates them because it delays our order, and makes the wait staff hate us. FML

Today, I was excited to go to a Japanese restaurant for my birthday. When the chef started doing tricks however, my spoiled brat of a sister started screaming and crying in terror. My parents insisted we leave and go to McDonald's because she was upset. She's 11. FML

Today, I found out that my restaurant's food is so bad that the only reason some people visit is because they're punishing their kids. FML

Quel abruti

Today, I was on a date in a fancy restaurant. I tried to show off my skills by ordering our meal in French, since some of the dishes had french-sounding names. The waiter replied in fluent French and I have no idea what he said. FML

Barred for life

Today, I went to my favorite restaurant with my mother. The food took a little longer than usual to arrive and my mom threw a fit, complete with kicking and screaming, in the middle of the restaurant. My mom and I are both banned for life. FML

Today, I asked my parents why we hadn't been out to eat as a family for so long. Both mom and dad agreed, so we made plans to go have breakfast at the Waffle House. Upon arriving, Dad threw a tantrum in the restaurant over nothing, and insisted on yelling at us the entire time. Guess I got my answer. FML

I'm so sorry OP. What's stopping you from going out on your own?

That's not necessarily a bad thing, I Have tried Escargot and Frogs Legs, They are not Good. Horse is ok but not anything to be excited about.

I'm french, and I've never eaten snails, or frogs legs, and only once horse (because I didn't know it was horse). You seem to have a really clichéed view on french food. Snails and Foie Gras are usually only served at Christmas or for big parties (foie gras is delicious tho...). It's not everyday food. Try some cheese fondue, filet mignon, crepes, duck filet etc

Yeah, frog legs and snails are the big stereotypes of French food but there are more foreigners eating them in France than French people doing so because they think it's THE French food to try. What I always say to my foreigner friends is: don't bother with snails or frog legs, it's a tourist trap. Restaurant owners know that almost no French people would just eat them randomly during the year, and they make the price a little more expensive at some places. Besides, snails are nothing exceptional. It's the sauce that tastes great. There are so many other good food to try. I'm French and I had snails and frogs just once in my life to try.

That's really unfortunate. When we go on vacation we do eat fast food occasionally, but we try to go to restaurants we don't have here at home. Next time try to find suggestions online before your trip, maybe it'll give your Dad peace of mind if he hears recommendations from others

Why is your dad visiting France if "you can't trust them" ??? I'm assuming you're American, although it doesn't say which country you're coming from. Sigh... And we think the French are rude. Traveling thousands of miles to eat at McDs and not even trying the food is worse than rude.
