Q1: Bread is not a big part of diet in Japan or Thailand. It is in Poland, but I've never heard of this custom being there. Never heard of it in Ethiopia either, but I have had many Ethiopian & Eritrean meals served of spicy food rolled up in injera, the flatbread made of teff, a native grain to the region. You eat these rolled up servings with your hands. Having someone put the serving in your mouth directly would be a little weird, but not that big a deal. Go for it.


Q2 a no-brainer for me. Just sayin'.


Q3: No idea. Should trust audience, but won't. Jump


Q6: Unless this is a trick Q somehow, I did watch that show. Don't remember wedding, but do know homestead was Southfork.
