Teabeg's video and failed attempts at whipping cream and blaming the French for the lack of whipping cream availability infuriated me because it just reminded me of a general problem I have with SJ and him. I'm not British although I have many British friends, and I love visiting the UK, so I don't want to seem like I'm bashing the British in general, because I'm not... but WTF? Why are these fools living in France if they need to live as Brits...British food, only British friends, always speaking English without immersing themselves in the language and culture of the country they're living in?
The number of times SJ has shipped food from the UK is absurd. Easter candy was a standout of how ridiculous it was because it didn't arrive in time.
Teabeg is always making underhanded comments about France versus the UK. He can't speak the language so he is automatically isolated in the Pathetikeric family world view that people need to speak English.
My heritage and ancestry goes back to Central France and the other "half" to Rome, so I am second generation American from European immigrants. I am hyper sensitive to "bashing" of other cultures, like French, from Americans because I see it as a lack of understanding and displays their sense of exceptionalism to other people.
I'm ranting, so sorry. But I do like Dan and Annalise and Sean at Begmania but I have to ask why, especially SJ, are they not hiring local French workers....which supports the local community? Even when I'm visiting a new country, I prepare by learning at least some of the language and I seek out local people to meet and interact with. If I went somewhere only to search for fellow English speakers, it's sort of a disservice of experiencing a new culture.
Ok. The moral? I can't stand their "air" of poshness and their sense of superiority.
