Two popular foods have been "banned" from the kitchens inside of the Olympic Village in Paris. While the foods are popular, they're banned for legitimate reasons: french fries and avocados...
quote:
While it sounds crazy that french fries are banned at the Olympic Village in France, it's apparently a safety hazard. The fries need to cook in screaming hot oil and they don't want to be starting any fires.

Avocados, meanwhile, are not native to France, and they consume a lot of water. So, it wasn't seen as worthwhile - or necessary - to bring them into the Olympic Village.

“French fries are too risky because of fire-hazard concerns over deep-fat fryers,” Charles Guilloy, one of the Olympic Village’s top chefs in charge, told The New York Times. “No to foie gras because animal well-being is on everyone’s mind, and no to avocados because they are imported from a great distance and consume a lot of water.”

As everyone there was imported to France over great distances, consuming large amounts of water, and burning jet fuel. But yeah, the avocado would tip the scales.

Avocados consume a lot of water...while on the tree growing...not while they are sitting on a shelf waiting to be consumed.

Transport humans from all over the world, build massive buildings and structures that will be mostly abandoned in 5 years. But avocados are just a bridge too far.

What a load of French poop. The more you learn of France, the more you just don’t like.

Fries are delicious. The French need to get out their white flag and surrender to the taste.
