About This Quiz

We all have foods that we love and eat on the regular, but there is a whole world of strange foods out there outside of pizza, wings, apple pie and Kraft macaroni and cheese. What foods are loved and loathed can vary a lot from culture to culture.

For example, a lot of people around the world might find buffalo chicken dip an odd food, but it's a Super Bowl party staple for many Americans.
