Meh, "proper cuisine" is definitely accurate since it's our national pride, but most of the others don't really feel like french stereotypes. "Soggy pastry" for Denmark even sounds suspiciously american, I've never heard anyone say that about this country in France and I don't even know what it's referring to

Yeah as a Scandinavia living in france, all that part is totally off too.

The Meatball thing? Sounds amerikanish too, def not french.

The meatball thing came from Ikea 100%

I took a look at the website this is coming from, it seems to be mostly the blog author's interpretation of what the stereotypes are for each of their maps
