Reminds me of the time I was living in Holland and working as an Instrumentation Engineer (VAF Instruments BV Dordrecht)
Friday was the fish lunch day in the factory canteen and my second week there I asked one of the canteen cooks if I could have my fish fried because I wasn't impressed with the raw pickled herring my Dutch colleagues were eating.
One of my colleagues who was ex-Dutch Navy and had been to the UK sat beside me and said "You Brits are weird, eating fish and chips out of a newspaper" and I replied with a grin "At least we cook the fish first"
