The portions are much smaller. Large drink sizes are an American medium at most. They also don't salt their fries enough or usually have enough black pepper on their food. Mayonnaise is the main condiment here.  Pizzas main topping is cheese, corn and mayo. And there's usually a soft boiled egg on the food somewhere. on  burgers, pastas, vegetables... Fish also have faces still and scales. That part freaked me out the most.

Egg,yes - fishface, no! lol
I am always amazed when I watch them eat live aquatics. I don't think that I could do it.
It's a cultural thing, I do understand that.

I'm not sure I could deal with the aforementioned mayo on a pizza either..............

Dove hunting we'd make a version of those on grill after kill with meat. Perfect size cause small birds. We'd leave all seeds in at least one fresh  jap and laugh who got it!
Haaa! That will certainly wake someone up! OMG Dove. That would be sooo delicious.

THAT was a surpise. MAYO. While I like it or some things didnt know popular there. A result of new EU/Jap trade deal to have on fries? Ha, kidding. The egg also is good, but I like at least cooked a bit. Lots of the Oriental (and again places in Low-Countries n France do the raw deal as a topping.) Not good.

I'm too scared to try squid and octopus. The locals laugh when I cringe away from things with tentacles. I'm not into wiggly things!

I grew up on hard fried and scrambled eggs, with lots of black pepper. This runny egg stuff churns my stomach. :(

I could see myself adapting to that more than scales on a fish.

Agreed. I suppose steak and other beef would be rare because of the lack of land. I mean, aside from import.

It's not a dislike of posts as much as a jealousy of attention, me thinks...
Agree. As if there weren't five thousand other threads to chime in on.

Ha!

Was hungover n missing all day n not much around n gave up once n also saving shells, as excuse,  n trying to recover but got a one-shot, two-kills when finally goaded n sick of ribbing. It was a particular extra hot humid day but the one-shot, two kill felt awesome.

Cucumbers are different sizes:

And yakisoba (fried buckwheat noodles) on a bun is largely popular:

They have beef, and how it tastes varies depending on the types you get and what you do with it. Most of the meat is seafood, chicken and pork though.

Poor soil quality would explain that.
