Made in France

What countries immediately signal to you that their products are of good quality?

Italy

why?

If you sick of your animals or want to punish your children - China!

France

Is this really true? I mean, I always buy products from France. They're really of good quality.

Every crap saves its purpose. Like sick of your dog - god food from China would be GOOD for it!

Interesting.

Yes. Otherwise, why would the product label says "Made in xxxx", right?

Posted by OneKnight
Japan, Germany, Poland, Italy, USA

Made in France - read Taiwan.

What do you mean by the last part?

clothes though - UK, according to friend. not sure about the prices. i just buy whatever's available in the mall.

I bought this fresh milk. It's made from France... so I bought it. It tastes fucking gooood.

wine - they say California or Spain. But I thought there's some from France.

for me

food - when it comes to basic food, Italy. Food that takes effort to make, France.

bags - I have no idea. I order online.

cars - Germany or Japan/South Korea never let me down.

clothes - no idea. I order online or I go to outlets in Italy. But going with "Made In Italy" you're getting ripped off. They have the right style just not the right prices.

wine - truly no idea. I barely drink. I'll take anything that's offered.

soda - the best soda is Red Solo from Trinidad, bar none.

beer - Trinidad again.

vodka - I don't know much about vodka. Only ever enjoyed Russian Standard after it's frozen for hours.

Rum - not really allowed to say this allowed being half-Trini but I'm not a rum person in any way.

One of your parents is from Trinidad?

So how can it be fresh and French? It has to fly/swim there.

Milking you would be fresh.

Some countries, when exporting products, hide behind the italian brand because it has a better image abroad, they assure sales that way harming their own country in the long run.

Just trying to tell you, straight from the cow is better than importing it 🙂

Ok. I get it.

Fresh milk from the next town is still the yummiest. I just don't know if they're still selling. I can still remember the taste.... I am mouth-watering right now.

Neighboring countries, mostly.

I'm afraid you are biased there. I don't think France does it, they have a strong presence abroad. I can't assure it, though. *everything depends on the product category*

You don't need to be milked?

No, not I. My udders are dry and useless.

But careful asking firebunny that question though, he might just take you up on it...

How do you find their products?

Posted by firebunny
So can you cite the countries' names specifically? Coz I see a lot from France and Spain. So far these countries sell good-quality products.

----

For example: olive oil - Tunisia, Spain, Greece and more I don't know, I've just read about Parmesan made in New Zealand, so go figure. Their products can be better but hiding they devalue them, and can also harm italian image.

Hmmm... so that's why you suddenly felt sooo hungry... Does my post ever remind you of meat you've tasted from Spain?

I'm going to ask my friend what she brought to us and post them here. God, they're soooo goooood.

Australia/Poland/England has very good reputation for beef, Spain for pork, France for duck, Scotland for lamb. England/ Norway for chicken if you buy organic.

According to a ranking, the best olive oil is Spanish, being the second from Italy, different brands. So you see is just marketing. Probably you value more spanish products because of your bloodline. Is all in the genes.

Marketing. Filipinos might hold the Spanish brand in high regard, or they just don't care about hiding there.

I don't know. Many Filipinos have Spanish blood so they might be persuaded to buy even with little knowledge of the brand.

I don't see Olive Oil products from Italy here. Something's wrong...

Italia has really good reputation for olive oil but they cannot produce enough so they buy from Spain.
