As for force feeding, I think there was plenty going on at Guantanamo also.

What you need :
- One dank baguette
- Ham
- butter
- One dank cheese (here I'm using Beaufort (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufort_cheese), but Comté or Emmental can do)
(http://i.imgur.com/YvQvDw7.jpg)
Slice the baguette in the middle.
(http://i.imgur.com/RmIC9xV.jpg)
Put butter in one half
(http://i.imgur.com/oZiZ7df.jpg)
Cut pieces of cheese , little trick, you want the cheese to be out of the fridge for at least half an hour, so the cold don't hinder the flavor of it
(http://i.imgur.com/qUWIAms.jpg)
Put the ham and the cheese in it

I took three years in high school. :) I never really applied myself though, so I didn't learn as much as I should have. Does it show? :-[ :))
I'm definitely interested in re-learning, and getting better. Maybe one of these Frenchies could help me out. ;)

French bread sir, french bread. Seriously though the bread you find in France as nothing to do with the one in USA or UK. I don't know if it comes from the ferment we use or something alike. You have a real crunchy crust and the inside is so good as well.

Post by: Ngt on Tue, 21 July 2015, 04:00:47
I've been to France and had cheeses there, I can honestly say I'm not much of a cheese person so it's like wine and the ones I like mostly taste the same and the ones I don't like are horrible lol
And you can get fresh French bread pretty much all over the world, it's not some magic recipe...
Well I lived several months in USA and a year in UK, even in organic shop I couldn't find the same type of bread. It was not white bread but it still felt like brioche, very soft even though it looked like it has a crust on the top. In the end it still felt like a non sweet brioche. It is like the cheese you find in English countries, it has nothing to do with French cheese because you cannot use raw milk in these countries. So the difference comes definitely from the recipe, at least for cheese. I'll ask to my baker if there is a difference in ingredients in the bread recipe.
Also perhaps I didn't find the good places to take french bread but then it is not as easy to be found as you suggest IMO.
Post by: baldgye on Tue, 21 July 2015, 04:07:29
Though I do like French bread more than Italian, but ham and cheese is ham and cheese and reggae reggae makes that **** 100x better. Use it instead of butter B-)

There are always difference in terms of quality for any product in any country. I don't think you can say "ham is ham". Personally I don't consider the ham I buy in any supermarket to be equivalent to a homemade one but still it is ham. But then it is just a matter of personal preferences so as long as you like it you're good to go.

I can imagine. Even for the Comté, I had to head to the nicer boutique cheese shop for it :P
The Comté was really nice too, I like slicing it into strips/cubes and eating it plain. I think alpine cheeses are my new favourite.

m'hoffmanPeugeot is for sure great cars, nuclear power well it's a tricky subject.
Did she converted you to Azerty yet?
No, she's actually more American than French at this point. We haven't even discussed Azerty. I'm actually disappointed in myself that I never breached the subject.
What else have you even been talking about if not Azerty?

memorable food since I love French food, cheese and wine
Diggin in some old photos:
Best pork dish I've ever eaten so far at LE COMPTOIR DU RELAIS SAINT-GERMAIN, Pig trotters, stuffed and deep fried

Oh and what's more romantic than this, took my wife to Paris for her birthday, blow the candle at Ladurée (apparently girls go mad over their macarons), shopped at Champs Elysées

And those baguette sandwich build logs are the best build logs ever. Almost as good as our Keycon Chicago 2015 Group Buy.

And I'd suggest to anyone that come to France to go outisde of Paris if they have the opportunity, there's so much more to see.
@CPT : Glad you like it, some more to come.

Nothing important, obviously.

There are some people (suppliers or customers, I don't know) speaking French at work right now. I'm trying to decipher, but all I hear is "Il y a" ... "Qu'est-ce que c'est?" ... :rolleyes:

You know who to contact if you want to speak french :))

"Let me know if I need to train to use an Azerty keyboard again for this discussion. When I moved to the U.S., I switched to Qwerty and I prefer it now. Using Azerty is too hard and not practical."

Is it what she said?
My assumption is that Azerty is trully masterrace but only a few people are worthy to type on it. Like I know several frenchman who switched to qwerty (cough Ngt cough) because they can't handle the beauty of the layout.
Also they're too weak to browse every single Leboncoin(craiglist equivalent) keyboard ad in the hope to find cherry or worthy caps.
Vesper tried it, he got confused and ever since he's not the same he hardly comes here. It's an experience that can destroy some people.

Actually it passed right next door to me but I wasn't around.
I don't follow this drug addict on bicycle sport so I can't help you on that.

Yes, it is.
I will learn to type on Azerty. I want to be a part of the master race.

The problem with QWERTY is that it doesn't have the accent. It is fine to switch to it if you don't write anymore french. Otherwise it is such a pain in the ass to have all your sentences empty of all accent. Just plain boring.

That's a good point for French/non-english typing. You can always do alt-codes, but those are incredibly obnoxious.

And anyway ISO has one more key, so you always have to figure out where to remap it when you move from ISO to ANSI.
stupid imo, sry Ngt but we discussed about it a lot already.

Yeah no hard feeling don't worry. The only reason I switched to ANSI is in order to take part in all these sweet GBs we have in the community. I was sick of moving heaven and hell just for an ISO set. I don't even mention if you want an AZERTY ISO one. So no regret so far. Soon I'll have a custom coming in so I'll do some hybrid ISO/ANSI perhaps.

By the way, I used to think that the only language in the world more ****ed up than English is French, but after some time in the UK I'm not so sure.

Technically they are talking about alt bindings, not codes.

That's why I mostly stick to gibberish these days.
