When watching television, which I am always trying to limit, I am constantly amazed at the food selections from around the world. In the US, we are appalled at food selections that other cultures make; eating dog in Korea, monkey brains in China, and alligators in Australia. But when summer arrives, we day dream about the succulent steak cooked on our back yard grills. Very few people question the normalcy of this food choice. In our culture this is a norm, but can you imagine how disgusted a Hindu from India would be if this was served to him/her.
I am always amazed at how limited our food selection in this country is. Chicken, beef, fish...chicken, beef, fish...chicken, beef, fish.. As I step out into my backyard I wonder how many food sources I could find. My wife calls..."What's for dinner?" I reply "Squirrels, grasshoppers, and dandelions..."
