What is the biggest cultural shock you experienced when going to someone else's house?

Well this wasn't at someone's house it was at an hotel in France. At evening meal they brought out these huge meatballs, nothing else just meatballs *lol* ok, if I must i'll eat the meatballs see what happens next! so then they brought out new potaoes on a different plate on their own. Ok, eat the potatoes see what happens next xD! then they brought out cabbage and carrots on another plate. For goodness sake, just put it all on one plate! *eye roll* good thing it wasn't a finger buffet we'd be there all through the night xD! I still love ya though my french friends *lol*
