OK, that’s the gentle French way to get kids to learn to eat anything. My parents are Korean, and so we have a different way: When your dinner is a bowl of kimchi jigae with a gaping fish head staring at you, you learn that you can eat anything put before you:
For some reason, I read the title as:
Innocent-looking Tourist Scams to Watch Out for Next Time you Time Travel
Autism spectrum?
People around the world eat them? Where? I think even monkeys peel them!
