A. Introduction
Attention Grabber:How many of you like and have had fried chicken?
Materials:powerpoint
In all parts of the world you can find things on the menu that make you gag ,but some people find these foods delicious.

Stange foods
First and foremost we have the century egg now this egg is not some egg that takes ages to come about
this is just to put it simply is a rotten egg
The “chefs” cover the eggs in ash, salt , and other spices and minerals, and let them sit for a few months. By this time the yolk is a dark green and gives of a powerful stench
,even so this is considered a great delicacy in China and surrounding areas.
Another food that many people including myself would turn their head to is tuna eyeballs. In Japan these are plucked out and sold for low prices at supermarkets. Cooking is simple. All you have to do is either boil or steam and season with garlic and soy sauce. It doesn’t come with much of a surprise that they taste a little fishy
Now this next one can give people goose bumps down to their toes. I find that eating the head cheese is disgusting. This is usually made by skinning the head of a sheep, cow or pig and getting rid of all of the organs. It is then boiled until tender and then made into a sort of gelatin that can be eaten on salads and sandwiches

As you can see people like to eat strange an different things that make some people want to hurl.
Here are some eating habits that people in different cultures might find disgusting or disgraceful.
Culture differences
China
Smaller potions half the Americans
Food is usually shared in a more communal way
In china it is not unusual to see people just spitting bones and other food on the tables or floor be prepared
As you can see there are major differences now let us look at Germany
Germany
1. Don’t wait to be seated you can even go sit at someone else’s table if the chair is not occupied, but first ask politely
Water is usually not complementary and if you ask and don tell them they will usually give you bubbly water
Most people do not accept credit cards and the waiters and waitresses do not come around you have to signal them
Finally I will show you the eating habits in Australia. If you usually stay the phrase “I’m stuffed” after a meal you might want to refrain from doing so, for this means “I’m pregnant” in
Australia. Arrive on time, for it is considered very rude if you don’t. Barbeques are very common occurrences in Australia
(Transition)
Now that it is apparent of how different people eat, here are some different ways in which people in different religions eat.
Religion eating

B. Islam the islam law prevents you from eating “dead meat” (further explain) blood and pig

C. Conclusion
Signal the End
As you can see everyone around the world has different eating habits, rules, and the actual food.
These differences can seem gross or strict to people, but everyone thinks differently. It is never bad to try new things.
