Stuff people eat

One day in my Personality Psychology class, I was talking about culture. I was talking about different foods that people from different cultures eat. So, I solicited from them examples of foods that they found strange in other cultures or foods that they knew people from other cultures found strange here.

A student, very seriously, raised her hand and said, "Well, when I was in France, I ate veal."

Okay, maybe you're thinking she was making some "it's alarming that people would promote the horrible treatment of calves" argument? No.
