For some time I've been rather confused that so many US folk know who David Mitchell is. Feeling faintly proud.

It's weird that both the Finnish and Australian foods that foreigners can't stomach are things that are incredibly salty. As an Aussie I love Vegemite and have it on toast every morning but I think Salmiak tastes like an arsehole-flavoured salt lick. Is there an American analogue for these strange, salty treats?

I'm not sure how much of this is "well, I, of course, don't have an accent" and how much is "america is loving huge and disparate" but I can't think of a pan-american food that would be gross to anyone besides literally all american food.

I never cease to be amazed by the amount of people who apparently know what rear end tastes like, who come crawling out of the woodwork everytime liquorice, vegemite or American beer is mentioned. (liquorice owns) e: have some beetroot and liquorice soup:

I also don't get why mangosteens.

Last time I went to a real candy store I bought almost $70 worth of black liquorice products to get me through the year. Salted, taffy, jawbreakers, chocolate coated, etc. Love that stuff and I think I only know about 3 people who do as well.
