I never knew that mushed up cucumbers were an acceptable taco topping until I went to Australia. It was amusing to watch the UK tourists try to eat their tacos with forks and knives though. Also pay close attention to your hamburgers or they will be served with a fried egg and pickled beets hidden inside. That isn't as bad as it sounds but it's very weird if you're not expecting it.

When in a foreign country, you should always try the foreign food. Foreign to the country you're in, that is. It's interesting to see another country's take on another country's food, and compare it to your country's take on the same. Maybe I should stop now. My head's starting to hurt. :) When I was in Italy, one of my favorite things for a couple of meals was to go find the nearest Chinese food place.
