Hey,
One of the amazing things about WordPress, and I guess all media, is the new things we learn about other parts of the world.
Here in England I grew up with beans on toast, to be eaten as a lunch, breakfast or snack. It never occurred to me to think this might seems strange to others, however having read about it in one of my posts, Matt from US has decided to give it a go, I’m waiting to hear if he liked it!
Got me to thinking, what other things do I think of as perfectly normal, that others might find weird!
So, I would absolutely love to read comments from anyone who has ever read about a food thing which seemed odd, and if remembered, which country that food was eaten in!
Trying to lose! 
My FAVOURITE comfort food is bread and butter soaked in gravy (ideally made the day before, then heated through) with vinegar in!!! My gosh!!!! Salivating just thinking of it!!!!!

Beans on toast sounds odd to me (US here), but also kind of amazing? I love beans and I love toast, so why not enjoy them together? When I’m allowed to eat more bread again, I’ll have to try it.
So, one I’ve read about and haven’t tried yet is Budae Jjigae (Korean Aarmy Stew). It’s got Spam, sausage, kimchi, and cheese in it. It SEEMS weird, but I kind of want to try it some day. The Korean restaurants near here have it, but I haven’t been brave enough to give it a go yet lol. I love 90% of those ingredients on their own, so it might be good?
For something I’ve tried, takoyaki! It’s octopus fried in a batter ball, covered in takoyaki sauce, Japanese mayonnaise (which is magical, I swear), and bonito flakes. Easily my favorite comfort thing to eat, but probably not great for the diet. I also love any dessert that has anko paste (red bean paste in it)– especially mochi and taiyaki (it’s a little fish made with a waffle-esque batter and typically stuffed with anko paste). Yum! I learned to make my own anko paste, and my partner imported a taiyaki pan so we could make taiyaki.

You can’t buy Lyle’s golden syrup in the Republic of Ireland.
Also – while we were living there we got a taste for bacon and cabbage. Sounds an odd combination, but trust me it’s delicious. ‘Bacon’ in Ireland is more akin to what we in the UK would call gammon. What we call bacon they call rashers. So – gammon, on a bed of cabbage, covered in parsley sauce. Don’t knock it til you’ve tried it!!
