It\'s true that there is such a cultural \\"bubble\\", and I feel bad for saying it, but moreso with Americans than anyone else.
It\'s often been pondered whether this was due to an educational system that teaches little about anything outside the borders of the US. Maybe that\'s stereotypical, but it\'s something that keeps coming up. For example, Canada is the US\'s largest trading partner, yet the average American seems to know remarkably little about us. Without using Google, can many Americans determine how many provinces and territories we have? What are our national colours? What is (or are) our national anthems? Who is our Head of State?
But, to bring it back to food, as an alternative to starving, even Americans (and Canadians) ate some stuff during the \'30s that most might find disturbing. My mother used to tell me of how, when she was a child, a slice of bread with lard spread on it was often supper.
Most of us now probably can\'t stand the thought. But, if you get hungry enough...
