- Summary:
- What's delicious? What's disgusting? What's even edible in the first place? These questions may seem simple, but they tap into powerful cultural, religious, and individual differences. This delectably engaging video explores the extraordinary variety of food likes, food dislikes, food taboos, and food rules around the world. It features frequently humorous and always compelling testimony from people representing a wide array of cultures. In discussing their own experiences, conflicts, and confrontations over food, they bring real substance and drama to the otherwise abstract notion of 'cultural differences.'
