How has no one said French? French for me please
French food is complicated to make compared to other European countries and looks very fancy but it really isn't better than Italian, German, Spanish, or indeed British food. Don't get me wrong, I still make the odd quiche, crème brûlée, or sole meunière, but it's just to change things up when I get bored of making my usual repertoire of dishes. It's nice but more labour intensive for what it is. OP didn't say you'd be getting it from a restaurant every day. Your probably going to be making things from scratch a lot. Do you even own a blowtorch for caramelising deserts or a water bath for sous vide?
As a south european person I feel kind of offended by seeing someone put German or even British gastronomy on pair with French, Spanish or Italian cuisine
What exactly do you think British cuisine is out of curiosity? I know none of those countries have cake as good as black forest gateau so don't even try to claim otherwise.
