One’s hot trend is another’s time-honored tradition. For example, American classics like peanut butter and root beer are considered odd and even disgusting outside the US. On the other hand, ice cream is one food that seems to enjoy worldwide popularity. Yet, so endless are its variations, that there is always some new ingredient or flavor to discover.
