East Asians dislike cheese, for instance. I swear that Vegemite is something the Aussies only eat voluntarily if American tourists are present, and they practice not making the face like the Americans do back in grade school. Besides the sauerkraut and beer and wine, there is Kimchi and a sort of fermented yak butter the Tibetans find delicious in their tea. Eskimos, or Inuit, or whatever the PC Leftists insist they call themselves that hasn't been translated into English as "eaters of raw meat" yet, are particularly fond of seal eyes that have rested in the carcass for a few days, much as the northern Europeans liked to hang their game birds for 3-4 days before cooking and eating them. And you should see some of the cheese stores in France. Mold on the cheese, mold on the walls, but as Chef's Cheese-runner says, "you can't get that here, it's the health department."
