Answer 2

I think it was China or Japan I heard they eat rats!
Ewww.. I just lost MY appetite.
'mountain oysters' are very popular in France and Italy
I think I'll stick with chicken..

By the way, did you know there are only 2 animals that we eat before they are born and after they are dead: Chicken eggs and fish eggs..
the weirdest thing that a country has... I guess I would have to say the United States is the wierdest.. How the courts let hardened criminlas out of jail when all the 'experts' say that the person is beyond rehabilitation. All the appeals, ect.. So many criminals die of natural casues before they ever get the death penalty.

Answer 3

the weirdest thing people eat is (and I read this in FHM uk) the shi t that comes out of a goose thats been force fed corn to fatten it up for making fois gras when its neck is wrung.
weirdest thing a country has, that would be the United States's foreign policy, or certain middle eastern countries acceptance of the practice of death by stoning

Answer 4

Vanity is the weirdest thing a country has. Why desire with our eyes when we can accomplish with sacrifice? for example what's the point of stealing a rolex watch (even though watches are just watches regardless of the upgrades) if in the end only prison awaits? sometimes we ambition for what we don't need.

Answer 5

We have halloween, do you?

Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down. I'll go over to the persons house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what I've left on the porch? A jack-o-lantern with a knife stuck in the side of it's head with a note that says "You." After that I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done.

Answer 6

The weirdest thing we Dutch do is eat raw herring, conserved in brine. We grab it by the tail, dip it in minced onion and let it slide into our mouths. We did have tv-licences once, but they were abolished 10 years ago.

Answer 7

People!

Answer 8

i found out that between the stereotypes that China has of the united states - while portrayed in video clips - is that maximum folk toddlers hate or don't get alongside with their mothers and dads, and that each and every time somebody leaves their abode or construction contained in the U. S. that a gun combat then suddenly breaks out, like contained in the Westerns.

Answer 9

Answer 10
