One of these things is not like the other . . .

I've meantioned it before, we sometimes run across things that we thought were normal and then find out are "Western."

Today I told one of my coworkers I was going to be making zucchini bread this weekend. This was followed up with a look of confusion and doubt.

"Zucchini bread?"

Ya, why? Well come to find out not ONE of my coworkers has ever had zucchini bread, EVER! Only a handful had ever even heard of if it.

This is coming on the tails of a 'Mexican party' we were throwing here at work where I offered to bring enchiladas. Which left three perplexed coworker silent until one finally admitted "I don't know what enchiladas are." I laughed and told them than I'd refrain from asking whether they wanted red or green. After that they looked mildly horrified.
