Ack! I just remembered - African food
My wife Memory is Zimbabwean. She's very slim, dark and beautiful and possesses many excellent qualities not least of which is her cooking skill, but some of the things that she considers "food" are really quite rank to my frozen and microwaved British palate. Some stuff is merely a bit unusual but easily available here like pigs trotters or ox-tail (ox-tail is very tasty). Other stuff however is frankly bizarre.

Mice anyone? And I mean whole mice as a snack, bones and all. You can spit the teeth out if you want.

You know those massive fat wichity grubs they had to eat on "I'm a celebrity, get me outta here!"? Yep, not quite the same but something similar in black.

And between us, nothing in a chicken need go to waste. The only bit she doesn't like is the meat! Feet, head, giblets and wings are all fair game.

There's lots of nice food aswell and in fairness British cuisine is hardly great. I strongly suspect that her and her mum just enjoy grossing me out with some of these things though. Evil witches.
