When I lived in Russia, I was living with a few Russian people and one of them, Ivan, thought my jar of Marmite was some kind of health tonic and one time, I caught him eating a giant spoonful of it. I had to sit him done with a slice of toast and show him how it's done properly.

My country fry mars bars and we wear the Kilt most people don't know what their national anthem is they sing songs at parties that are really laments eg ye'll tak the high road and I'll tak the low road is about a Scot being hanged in london and going back to Scotland via heaven (the high road) and Flowers of Scotland is about Scots people lying dead on a battlefield I just wish people would get traditions correct

The French think it is strange to put vinegar on Fish and Chips but will eat things that most people wouldn't even think edible.

Don't really know, is peanut butter and gooseberry jelly sandwiches strange? Rhubarb pie? Squirrel stew? Fricasseed raccoon? Fried rattlesnake (with mesquite BBQ sauce of course)? Elk roast? Black bear? Rocky Mountain oysters (bovine testicles)?
Calf brains (scrambled with eggs and Tabasco sauce)? I've had all of those...didn't much care for the coon though...stringy.

There are countries where people eat dogs, cats, bugs, slimy sea creatures, and etc... Also, you ever watch that show Fear Factor? They eat all kinds of weird things.
