Americans (Anglos or NW Europeans in general) have a lot of weird phobias such as intensely disliking fish, lamb, goat, (none of these in a vegan way) mushrooms, irrationally scared of bugs, very easily disgusted by things to the point of overwashing their hands, or the opposite where they don't wash their hands after literally stepping out of a toilet stall, also so disgusted by stuff that they refuse to pick up their dog's excrement and/or don't wipe/wash their butts properly (also because this is gay)

I mean, fuck wasps, though.

Both kinds.

Not just NW Europeans, there is a huge culture gap between Poles and Germans.

While we go mushroom hunting every fall, Germans are afraid of even looking at a bolete thinking it will kill them on the spot. It's a while different world out there, just across the border.

the germanic race was a mistake

freedom is when no food (at your friend's house)

In Poland it's a crime to allow a guest to leave with a stomach being below full and without some more food for the road.
