Giving food French names seems to make them more marketable.
Comment on Croutons are just stale, dry bread with good PR.

Well, good PR and a bunch of recipes that call for them
That we buy croutons in stores is why the French don’t believe Americans can cook

You’re wrong actually. I don’t know anyone who makes his own croutons in France. We buy them premade, they are round and small, and you can have either the natural bread kind, or the garlic flavored kind.
Also we love Americans, the so-called hate between people is shitty propaganda that has been existing as long as I can remember (except for Trump, he’s an idiot in every country).

Wtf? I know multiple french people (I live right at the border) who make them themselves and taught me how to. (And freshly made is a huge difference)

I wouldn’t tease if I didn’t love. :)
Americans think the French mock our food culture in the way that we mock their military resolve – only in jest, or on the lips of the dumbest citizens of our respective countries.
America’s far too obese to not have amazing food, and we would still be part of the British empire (or speaking German!) if the French did not know how to fight.
