and red wine.
Spanish culinary customs differ
from those of South America more
than the average person realizes.
The Spanish, being Europeans,
have a more international and a
less spicy diet than South Amer-
icans. One expressly Spanish cus-
tom is frying foods in olive oil, one
of the main products.
GERMAN food eaten in America
is not an accurate sample of
what the tourist in Germany
would find. Sauerkraut and pigs
knuckles are dishes consumed only
by the poorer people. Nor are all
Germans beer drinkers. While
southern Germans are, those from

SHOCK and often disdain is reg-
istered by many tourists upon
being offered certain European or
eastern "delicacies." The French
relish snails, the Swedes raw fish,
the Chinese fish lips and the nat-
ives of Thailand water buffalo.
Although there are differences
in eating habits of foreign coun-
tries, there are also similarities.
Americans seldom realize how
many of their popular dishes orig-
inated elsewhere. The Hungarian
"toltot kaposta" is our stuffed cab-
bages, their "gulas" is our stew.
Czechoslovakian people are fond
of "parkies," which are similar to
American hot dogs. Viennese wein-
erschnitzel is fairly well known in
the United States, if not by that
name by that of breaded veal cut-
lets.
