In eastern Europe that is called soup for the poorest of the poor, definitely nothing gourmet.[/quote]
Tell that to Thomas Keller.[/quote]
Who is he? I mean I just had to google him, and honestly, I love food, I follow food. If I don't know about him, most Americans don't know about him and zee French cuisine.

Perhaps because he cooks worse than me? I was taught by my grandma, born in central Europe in 1910.[/quote]
Interesting that you say that.  Central European cuisine comes from Viennese cuisine which was heavily influenced by French cuisine in the 18th century.

Although I agree with you about French food being overrated one has to acknowledge that it pioneered techniques and principles that are integral to different cuisines the world over.  It is not the best cuisine but it is the most important.[/quote]
I am not sure that the French heavily influenced anything. If anything, I would say central European cuisine benefited from the proximity of the Ottoman Empire and had more spices.[/quote]
