Another funny food story. We were staying at a B&B in Alaska somewhere - I do not remember where. The owner had 2 turkeys wandering around the yard. One of the other guests asked the owner of the B&B if they had names and the response was one of them was named Thanksgiving and the other Christmas.
The guest responded with obvious horror - you mean, you eat your turkeys.
The guest was from Alaska but she lived in Anchorage instead of in the country where the B&B was located. I was tempted to ask her if she ever wondered where the turkeys in her food market came from but I held my tongue.

My very provincial sister came back from a trip and reported that "they tried to make us eat BUGS."
They actually eat real bugs in Australia. We did a tour there and were given the "opportunity" to eat Witchetty Grubs. Look them up on Google. They are not cheap and are considered a delicacy. We passed on the chance but some others in our group tried them.
