#1 Marshmallow-covered hot dogs
In the Philippines, hot dogs topped with melted marshmallow is a ceremonial meal served at kids’ parties.

In Italy, strawberries can be eaten with... vinegar!
The combination of the sweet-sour taste of vinegar and the sweetness of strawberries create a completely different sensational taste.

In Brazil, avocados have more uses than just in salads and sandwiches. Avocados are combined with juice and sprinkles of sugar and are served as dessert.
