How? I've never seen anything that I thought
was strange. We don't eat
anything that is still alive, or wiggles, or whatever. Our food is
pretty basic, with the exception maybe of some fancy stuff.... but a lot
of that is foreign influence.
I find it somewhat interesting how Americans define "foreign". Doesn't
that
require something "indigenous"? =) I can't say that I know much about American
cousine, save for hamburgers, but
there is a shop in Stockholm which specialises in American food, and I must
say that the general impression I've got is that it's absolutely deranged.
Two examples: Mustard and mayonnaise mixed into one bottle. Smoke essence,
added to food in order to get a "grilled" quality.
That's weird. I don't see that here in the US.
And everything is very colourful.
I do see that here.
Oh, and then there's that marshmallow butter,
which I think you're supposed to
have on your sandwich. Makes Nutella seem like a wholesome product. =)
Fluff? Fluff is awesome. I eat it all the time.
Peace... Sridhar

BSD: A psychoactive drug, popular in the 80s, probably developed at UC
Berkeley or thereabouts. Similar in many ways to the prescription-only
medication called "System V", but infinitely more useful. (Or, at least, more
fun.) The full chemical name is "Berkeley Standard Distribution".
