Food you like but disgusting in other cultures

Oh yes! I usually drink my morning coffee with milk (think cappuccino)… when I did so in 🇫🇷, the „coffee“ became more grey than brown…
(Or, here’s another one: ordered a cappuccino somewhere in central france—waiter came with a cup of that black stuff and sprayed canned cream over it)
🫣😶
No coffee aficionado drinks cappuccino (or with milk for that matter) before midday. That is a sacrilege. Ask an Italian what type of coffee you should drink in the morning.
My personal choice: Cafe Correto Ala Grappa.
Funny how close and how far are Switzerland and Italy.
 
Coffee in Italy is really a crazy thing:
Black coffee in big cup, small cup, medium cup, hot cup, glass cup, with cold milk, with warm milk, with hot milk, included or apart in warm cup, cow milk, soya milk, cream or no cream, with cold, warm or hot water apart, with superalcoolics, ristretto, macchiato, doppio, etc… etc… etc…

…it’s like ordering eggs for breakfast in US: I just want two eggs and a coffee please! 😁
 
Not when it comes to cheese and coffee 😉
I was in apulia for holidays some years ago. We visited our friend’s old aunt and uncle (sharing little gifts etc.) and the auint told the story of her visit to switzerland: „how green the pasture and marvellous cows! But they have no idea how to make cheese!“ 🤣🥰

And I always thought that we weren’t supposed to drink cappuccino after 11am…
 
Speaking of intestine, when you go to your local asian market (Usually Chinese) they might sell you prepared intestine. In most cases it's not intestine at all, it's fallopian tube. Sometimes even called uterus. Easy to tell the difference especially when the ovaries are still connected.

You are right about the coffee after 11AM AFAIK but who cares what a certain people think? When you want to drink coffee at 15:00 or 20:00 just do it.

Now pizza with ananas is another matter though.
I barely care (about the coffee/time relation), of course I do but don’t talk about it in public. As for the pizza, with ananas or not, this is Vg all another level— https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neapolitan_pizza compared to those blobs with chinese mozzarella on it…
