I hate French food. Grossly overwrought, overrated crap. Come to think of it, I can't stand the French either!

Italian and Greek food for me along with Cajun and Southern Barbeque.

One time I was staying in a pensione in Southern Italy, don't ask me where, maybe around the outskirts of Salerno that time; and the owner started chatting with me, despite my limited Italian language skills. As the conversation moved along into what kinds of foods he liked and which would I like, he aske me,

"A te piace i francese?" to which I shrugged non-committedly.

He grinned wickedly and said, "Sono brutti!"

Obviously, I'm still chuckling about it decades later.
