Thought "Deuterium" within about five seconds of reading it but couldn't make the first part of the clue tally at all.

We've just come back from a holiday in Spain.
My wife didn't really enjoy it, because everyone could speak English and all the food was like the stuff we eat back at home.
She said, "Next time, I want to go somewhere where they eat weird sh*t and you can't understand a word they f***ing say."
So I've just booked us a fortnight in Scotland!

You'd be surprised what they eat. There's a tripe dish [with paprika] and some sort of pork [with paprika] jelly that are both beyond description; so I wont. They apparently like eating breaded meat inna bun and I swear there are just way too many recipes that include pumpkin seeds. There is no part of the pig, and I mean not one single part, that they don't eat; I'm sure I got a dish with the Oink in once.
Oh and the drink. Palinka will blow your socks off then blame next door before offering you another one to calm your nerves. The beer seems to work at exactly four glasses; with one having a wonderful paralysis effect on your hangover.
Love the country, love the people and almost understand the cuisine.

The 'goulash' made in the UK is exceptionally weird shít! Gulyás is a soup and there as many varieties as there are cooks!

That gave me a serious craving for goulash soup, and I had to go out and get me some for lunch. I'm sure that the stuff we get here in Sweden doesn't resemble the real thing either, but it's quite good actually..

They do not understand even Italian and they eat cheese with live worms inside (the infamous "Casu Marzu").

I just read up on what Casu Marzu is and I don't think that I will eat for week.

My uncle, who is sardinian, tried several times to convince me to eat it, and is a big fan of that chees.
Of course he had three surgeries for ulcer, but the things are surely unrelated

Then I suggest you don't book a trip to Iceland, their national dish Hákarl[^] would keep you from eating much longer than that.

You're right, I'd never eat that! Not Lutefisk[^] either. But I'm not a native either, so maybe that explains it...

Australia's the place to go
sort of speak English, (actually believing they are the only country that does) but:
.. get every vowel sound wrong,
.. shorten almost every word to maximum 2 syllables,
.. weird names for almost every food ... so you never know what you might get
.... (can't cook to save themselves - no sense of taste anyway)
and even freelance IT geeks wear 3 piece suits (with tie) and will sit outside in 100 plus degrees (without taking their jacket off) eating "koooz koooz on frinch brid stecks with a skem [melk] frappa[chinno]" for lunch.

Just came back from a trip to Edinburgh. You will love it. Try the haggis, nips, and tatties. Great stuff. Here in the States, restaurants put way too much salt on everything, so it was a very pleasant surprise to have a meal without having to drink gallons of water.
Most of the people I met there spoke English fairly well until the whisky started flowing, but after a few shots, I had no problems understanding the conversations. Well, mainly because the conversations were more grunts and belly laughs at that point.
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.
