Hey, the French have their own Saumagen variant.
bleyjo

They’ve got better music than the French!!!

In fairness, the French created haggis. So they shouldn't be put off by it.

I knew it. It does seem french, doesn't it?

'How Scotland Invented the Modern World' . . . Great book, so they can talk science with the French, Germans, and Russians.
mmartin762
Isn't french cuisine just gross stuff that if you believe hard enough, becomes fancy? They eat snails, haggis isn't that far fetched.

Why does France's left become her right after the first panel?
AllyMo
Because that was right from 1790 - 1794?
Millstone85
So it is a flashback from the second panel on?

So France are just pissed that they're in second place /s

I dunno, Spain is up there too. They might be third...

I'm curious how many are from 1914-1945 and not colonialism

Well yeah, it was a defense pact against England

then they betrayed us

Nah, more like the French wielding the Scots like a meat shield.

I see it more like threatening England by having your friend ready to shank them in the back if they start shit
AlexisActually
...Yeah, Scotland would 100% be the "friend you call to help you stab someone and bury the body"
MantisTobagganMD
No no no, stab them in the back and sell their corpse to the Edinburgh Medical School...
MantisTobagganMD
I in no way at all also employ this strategy in EU4....Never.

Fun fact. If Scotland leaves the Kingdom, the English European health rating would go up.

Our politicians in Scotland are so appalling that England is required as a bogeyman. Our brand of flag waving nationalism is poison.
bushfrogben
Pfffff lol get rekt cunt.
raptorlight3000
It's an easy distraction for the snp away from the problems Scotland faces that are completely their own cause. But booo England...

Yeah, but baby boxes

Fun Fact from an American: The Confederate flag in the USA is based on the Scottish flag.
dockerexe
The sadist in me wants to see the chaos that ensues with independence, I wonder if this is how some brexiteers felt.
simmerdim
You don't think there's chaos now under the lying, theiving, xenophobic, mysoginistic, racist tories? Fuck the tories and their backers.
dockerexe
That has nothing to do with what I said... why is there always one person who makes the faintest connection so they can rant about politics
BallsDeepinaDragonscloaca
"Exquisite French cuisine" is an oxymoron.

BallsDeepinaDragonscloaca
Pretty sure it's the French who have really bad taste.
Ryukaa
especially since the croissant is austrian :D
stephanmarshay
Everything: coffee press, door, fridge, fries, vanilla...
DoNotQuitYourDayJob
Ah yes, another "fact" that people mention to feel smug despite being wrong. The kipferl only gave croissant its shape, dough is different
stephanmarshay
Well, we call that viennoiserie (from Vienna) in French, so we never claimed we invented it... Americans are the ones calling French, well/1
DukeSamuelVimes
And bakhlava and kebab is turkish, doesn't stop other Europeans claiming it.
UnicornRainbowPony
As a German working in England for a year most pub visits were quite similar. When being asked where I was from I always got a “we don’t
SiangSpaceTraveler
You don’t call them Anglo-Saxons for nothing.
GoodEveningThisIsWhatAButtDoesPBBPPBBTT
As an American living in Germany, I don't ever want to go back to America. You guys have it really nice here
FromJupiter
My family from keep telling them that it's amazing but as American no way to move. I thought i go for school but got no money.....
A2DY79
It depends on your job and the part of the country you live in, as everywhere. But if you like Germany, Denmark has even more Germans.
TheErniePi
Thanks!
VaultGirl69
I could tell he was German because I used to live in Germany. I'm sure other Okies couldn't tell because they don't travel...
scuuubasteve
You would be surprised..
VaultGirl69
Oh, that most people can't tell?
scuuubasteve
That okies travel.
VaultGirl69
Only the ones that are stationed in the military. Most Okies don't know basic geography. Even of the US.
VaultGirl69
I only met one German living in America. He lied and said he was from Norway because he didn't want people knowing he was German.
RacecarIsRacecarBackwards
I (Ger) noticed when studying abroad that Germans have a tendency to try blending in while others, like Spaniards, often appear in groups.
BrassVicugnaPacos
I do kinda the same while online. Everytime the topic comes up and I say "from germany" there are prejudices and hate. So, I started to lie
VaultGirl69
It was nice to see Germany win the World Cup a while back. The celebrating was kind of awkward. Lack of practice...
BrassVicugnaPacos
and tell them "from swiss". I know its weird but I'm tired to deal with that.
VaultGirl69
I feel you. In the US a lot of people ask me if I'm from North Korea. Hateful, ignorant, and no compassion for those poor people...
DreamingOfTacos
When I lived in Europe, I just kept telling folk that I was Canadian.
fudgesickle
1 - As a Canadian, ran into many Americans saying they were Canadians. If you do that, learn something about where in Canada you say you're
VaultGirl69
I really don't like when people do that. And I'm an American. If your reputation internationally is bad, fix it.
fudgesickle
3 - They also met a Canadian in me that has travelled a lot in Canada.
tynanaideen
And if you're just going to say "I'm from Toronto" make sure you come correct, it's "Tarana" we're so Canadian we pronounce it with "eh's"
fudgesickle
2 - from. Most didn't know anything about where they said they were from in Canada. They had to come clean and tell me they were Americans.
DreamingOfTacos
I know Kingston. Grew up across the river in Cape Vincent, NY. Used to cross the border every weekend.

like the French either”

German here. We're really not in the mood for a rematch after the last two rounds.
ShamaOA
In fairness the English, broadly speaking, don't like or respect anybody much. Which is why, as an English, I don't really like the English.
Holedemort
To be fair our 3 countries (EN, GER, FR) have been at war for centuries until 1945. I just wish that kind of blind hatred would disappear.
AntiProtonBoy
They are mostly taking the piss.
UnicornRainbowPony
This was rather a friendly banter. I worked at a boarding school side by side with French and English people getting along perfectly :)
eggmuffin
It is more traditional hatred than the real thing, I feel.
Holedemort
In general yes, I have met a few English who wanted to fight with me because I am french... Usually ended up well since most of the other
Holedemort
English people in the pub were not idiots and stopped them. I am ok when people call me "Frog" or other stuffs thou. Its just humour.
WowSoSparkly
the french dont even like the french
UnicornRainbowPony
That’s what my French colleague keeps on saying. I like her fine though and we keep on making fun of German and French habits
Stalein
This is really true, there is so much rivalty betwen regions , especially between the snobs parisian and the rest
MyNameIsPer
Damn Frenchman. They ruined France!
squishybaker
Thought it was that the french hated the parisians.
DukeSamuelVimes
Indeed. And the rest of Europe really.
SarahDancePainter
Honestly kinda wondering if that all started because like hey look which country fought real hard for workers rights, anti slavery(ish)...
FromJupiter
I laughed way to hard. But from my experience it's so true ask any french person they will tell you xyz french is the worse french
Fckipstypograph
Yep, sometimes from a Valley to another... that's fun actually :p
FromJupiter
I love study culture makes me love my own a lot too. Have explore as much as like
DukeSamuelVimes
Every regular Frenchmem I've met has despised Paris and Parisians just as much as me.
FromJupiter
Best Friend feels the same way. It was one of the oddest thing i got used to. Learning french it's been a wild ride to be honest.
