Hi Scotty _bambam, Hope that you are well!Eating spaghetti from a giant bowl everyone at the same time.
I actually love this, I was married to to a Moroccan for many years, I find it very sociable and enjoyable, I miss this in TunisiaHi Scotty _bambam, Hope that you are well!
I remember this one quite well, I however cannot eat from anyone's plate so they'd cater for me using a different plate and I'd hear them say the Gaoria..Foreigner
I've actually been invited to a Moroccan house where they had a massive plate of couscous and they would eat with their HANDS![]()
When in Tunisian cafes my husband and I always shared a plate of spaghetti and a plate of fries,as I can't stand food waste,and the portions were large.but six other people round the same bowl churned my stomach.I have to admit I like eating on my own plate however, I wouldn't have a problem with sharing a plate with my husband.

Hi Aslemma, Hope that you are well! With me I think it's the fact that it's meaty and I don't eat meat. I know loads of people that like eating testicles and that makes my stomach churn.Hedgehogs used to be eaten by the Romany and I''m sure many other country people in the UK, and for all I know probably still are. They were covered in mud/clay then roasted in an open fire. When cooked the clay was removed, taking the spines with it. It's strange how so many of us say 'Yuck' about something we've never tried. I think our problem is we associate some animals with Beatrix Potter and Mrs Tiggywinkle etc.
I recently went to a friends restaurant and thought I was trying a dish that was meant to be with meatballs only upon arrival it turns out to be cows heel. Apparently the chef took it upon himself to tinker with the normal recipe. That was bad enough but to eat hedgehog is awful :-(Hi Aslemma, Hope that you are well!

Same reason I could never eat horsemeat....it's not in our culture to do so.But why Gem? What's so much worse about eating an animal which has lived a life outdoors rather than one who has spent most of his life in a factory farm? I can certainly understand vegetarians. or even vegans to a certain extent, but the way we pick and choose which animals we consider food seems rather strange. There are certainly parts of animals I wouldn't eat, such as sheep's head, and it really turned my stomach to see someone eating it in Tunisia, and other things of which I don't like the consistency, such as jelly, so jellied eels are not on my menu.![]()
eat how dare you eat rabbit?Same reason I could never eat horsemeat....it's not in our culture to do so.
It's funny cuz I quite happily eat rabbit which I guess is in the same par as hedgehog, plus is there much meat on a hedgehog?
Theres things I wouldn't touch such as snails but eat oysters. Each to their own taste I guess.
