The French style of cooking is to use sophisticated techniques to transform simple ingredients into something refined. The Italian style is to use simple cooking to present amazing ingredients as they are. Who is to say which is better? I am to say. The Italians are better.

Coincidentally, the English style is the same as the Italian style, with only the slight difference being that they suck at it.

I live in France & quite often get to eat proper unpretentious traditional French home cooking. I also enjoy/love Italian food
; I love good food. & I say this to you: apples and oranges!
Soupe à l'oignon
Jambon aux endives
Pommes gratinées
Melanzane al forno… etc

The thing about the French approach is that it works better at keeping a nihilist from completely losing it.

But the existentialist's difficulty is that smoking Galoises makes them unable to actually taste the food, though that makes drinking really cheap wine work ok. (As opposed to Galois the mathematician, who solved the problem of using radicals to solve polynomials.)
