Sometimes you just gotta eat!
I get that different countries and cultures do things different ways… but I got an awful lot of strange looks and comments when I tried to order a starter and a main course in Carcassonne, France for lunch. Oh well, I was starving, what can I say? I hadn’t been able to find a source of food in almost 24 hours! Turned out there weren’t any stores of any kind near by my hostel. Hunger wins out over embarrassment any day.
