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

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

You can't eat French cuisine, but 3 meals daily of Diabetes Chow is a better choice?

I assume you are Kiwi from your nickname. But Kiwi or American or British, you have no reason not to try any French food. The food is amazing, especially compared to the English food that I've been eating in UK/Australia/New Zealand. I'm probably biased because I'm French myself but I am not the only one to take it for one of the best in the world. The different parts of France present very different cuisines with various ingredients, flavours and influences! As much as I love New Zealand, I will always place French food on the top (next to Italian and Indian food, I'm not that chauvinistic). It is too bad, I really pity you! I hope that you can make your family change its mind. :)) Plus a hint: why saying 'cuisine' in English if French food could not be trusted? ;)

I agree with you. French food is the best in the world, period. Probably somewhat overwhelming for a tourist though.

Whouah! I consider that to be an insult to french cuisine and France in general! - Our food is generally not weird (except maybe from snails, frogs and such, but french people eat those delicacy less than once a year....ans sometimes never!) and you can find a lot a dishes that are close to your national cuisine (i guess you are either american, canadian, british, irish or australian, but maybe i'm wrong). Go to a brasserie and you will surely find that you can order a cheeseburger with real bread/meat/cheese and freshly made french fries. - Our food is safe from the sanitary point of view (except from some bad fast food place like kebbab, chinese fast-food and sometimes mac donald...) -If going to restaurants everyday is to expensive for your famillly, you can always go to a real bakery to have a good sandwich with french bread that will be better in taste AND for your health. - Your father is basically judging before trying. Why did you travel hundreds (our maybe thousands) km if you live the exact same way than in your country ?
