But but why? (As a French I’m disgusted)
  • 738 points taxiecabbie

    I'm genuinely not trying to be cruel here, but it seems as though this lady may be missing her teeth.

    This method makes the pickles bite-sized (so you don't have to bite off the pieces yourself) and softens the chips between the mustard and the latent pickle juice. They're probably easier for her to eat this way.

    Otherwise, there's no reason why you shouldn't just eat the pickles dipped in mustard followed by chips. Less mess.

    As she was crunching the chips with her hands at the beginning of the video, she was chewing air in the same rhythm. I'm not sure she even knew she was doing it. But I think you're right.

    No, I am absolutely not American, and you are clearly trolling, because that L is definitely not silent. If you're French and speaking in a regional dialect, okay, because that's the only acceptable reason why you might be ignoring the standard French language.

    I mean, I'm not into seriously defending this, but tbh there are plenty of commonly-considered "finger foods" that make your hands a mess/greasy. Ribs. Chicken wings. Pizza if eaten with the hands. Even olives/pickles on their own are going to have brine. Heck, burgers/sandwiches are eaten with the hands and often a total mess.

    I don't see how this is different.

    It's called tardif dyskinesia. Can be attributed to weakened mouth and facial muscles, prompting involuntary chewing motions as a subconscious attempt to maintain activity. Additionally, dry mouth, orofacial dyskinesia (a movement disorder), and symptoms of dementia can also contribute.

    Everyone has their weird thing that they like to eat, like tuna fish and mint chocolate chip ice cream. I personally have the trashy pleasure of minute rice with melted Kraft singles ( gotta be Kraft.) But I'm most concerned with the title. I'm pretty sure the people of France are called Francs? It just sounds weird to say "as a French." Sorry I'm being OCD af today. Sorry. I guess I'm super wrong. The Franks were Germanic.

    parent
    17 points GhettoSauce

    Francs is definitely wrong, lol

    The title is wrong too, though. It's a direct translation of saying it in French ("comme un francais" or "comme francais") but if said in English, technically it's more proper to say "as a French person" or "as a Frenchman" or even simply "as French". It's seen pretty commonly though, and experienced often if you live in Anglo/Franco bilingual places

    In french you dont say: a french person (une personne française), I mean you could, but that would sound weird kinda like a french in english

    You say: a french (un français)

    Bassically, most adjectives that describe a person can be used that way: a bald, a bald, a short, a fat, a white, a black, a blond

    Thats where the ‘’As a french’’ probably comes from

    parent root
    4 points GhettoSauce

    No, it's just a direct translation of how you'd say you're French in French, which winds up being incorrect in English. In this case the demonym "French" is a noun and not an adjective. The proper way would be to just say "as a French person" or "as a Frenchman" or even simply "as French". Also, not every "un/une" or "le/la" needs an English counterpart; they're more-often-than-not completely omitted when translating French to English
