O, I'm jolly sorry old bean, I dare say if deprived of the sup and brine of merrie olde england, I shouldn't last a bally week on all this foreign tush. The lack of custard upsets the British constitution, don'tcha know; makes us weep nostalgically for suet pudding and a good Eaton mess.
In fact, I must now go and wedge my head in the old gravy pan as the idea of a country absent of such wonders is giving me the vapors.
Swounds!

My intention was not to stir controversy, but to stir the thought of how long one could go without the must fundamental staple of one' culture...its food.
My feeling is that people that don't know any better think they can accept foreign cuisine without much thought, while those that have lived in a foreign culture understand that regardless of where you come from, the tastes from home will become a security blanket of sorts, no matter who you are.
