My daughter was watching a video on youtube in which this family does all kinds of shit we can't afford, and they were vacationing in Hawaii.  While they were at one of the stereotypical touristy "luaus", watching some stereotypical "hula" dancing, I wondered, do those locals clock out at the end of the day with disdain for how their cultural things have been turned into a "tourist itinerary stop"?  It made me think, are there any regional "food combinations" or orders that they see tourists massively screw up?

What have you seen that's exclusive to your "region" done completely wrong by someone from a different area?  Here it's things like ordering sweet tea not knowing it's going to be a big glass of iced sweet tea, or putting sugar on grits, drinking from the glass of water they bring you with beignets, etc.  I'm guilty of putting chinese entrees on fried rice instead of plain steamed white rice.  I don't put cinnamon in chili or any of that yankee stuff.

When you are served tortillas with a meal, typically you put butter on it and eat it like we eat bread with our meal.
Not stick everything in it and make a taco

Though I do it, because I like it, but I know it's not the "legit" way to do it

You guys ever been to Italy before?

It's funny when someone from a pizza state goes to Italy and orders real pizza for the first time. Go to any touristy place and you'll hear Americans bitching about the pizza being made incorrectly.

The pizza was perfected in the NE corner of the United States, by people that left Italy.  It's one of the few things that region does right.

The glass of water is for cleaning all the powdered sugar off your fingers and dipping a napkin in water to clean your face.  Not for drinking.


Another running joke here (MS Gulf Coast) is that you can always tell who the tourists are because they're the ones that actually get in the water on the beach.

Hawaiian culture was erased decades ago. The show they put on for tourists was lifted from other Pacific Islands, since Hawaiians were successfully domesticated and pacified,and had zero reference points for re-adoption of their traditions and customs.

It's either make tacos or tear it in pieces and use it like an edible scoop.

That butter thing is a snack or possibly dessert with coffee.

When I was in Italy, I was too busy complaining about no ice in the water.  Ice, dammit!  I'm in Italy in July and I want ice in my water!  I thought this place was civilized, so why is there no ice anywhere?  SENZA GASSE, you barbarians!  Why is all the water carbonated?  Dammit.
