Living in a place where almost everyone puts on heavy sweaters or jackets if it gets down to 75 F, I am soooooo glad I'm not in the US this winter! Still I do have a funny story. Some years ago, I had a visitor from the US who wanted to see what a *real* African village was like. I warned her, that we would be guests and have to eat anything offered us (no fast food options- we eat what we're served or we don't eat) and how was she about eating meat? "No problem!"
Well the first day in the village, our hosts caught a chicken to feed us (read: great honor since they don't often eat meat.) My poor friend unfortunately saw this--a little hard to miss since the children had to run the poor thing down- chickens living pretty much wild. So about an hour later, here comes our chicken dinner, but my friend couldn't eat it! I asked her why not,since she told me she eats chicken in the US. Basically the answer was that she had never associated "chicken" with the live bird! Seeing the living bird that was later put cooked before her was too much. Unfortunately meat of all kinds is offered to honored guests so it was a very long week for her with too little to eat. I think the palm rat we were served the next day was even worse than the chicken!
Not chicken related but dumb.
During health class the teacher was talking about how saturated fats are in animal products.
".....and butter has saturated fat since it's an animal product."
Kid "oh, really?" (Incredulous voice)
Me "um yeah, cow, you know?"
Kid "oh....yeah...I knew that...."
Me "..........."
He didn't know that butter came from cow! I blame grocery stores and advertising.
I just want to say that we call 75 F summer here. There is a week or two of 80 F. I don't think I could handle hot temps anymore. We've talked about moving to a colder climate even.
