A two-panel SMBC comic. In the first panel, a presenter stands before a cheering crowd and asks, "Now then, who wants some bovine mammary fluid, curdled by stomach enzymes, and injected with mold?" The audience eagerly throws up their hands shouting "Me! Me! Me!"—they're enthusiastic because, unstated, this describes cheese. In the second panel, the presenter ("a moment ago") asks, "And the people of this tribe drink a mixture of goat urine and blood?" and the same crowd recoils in disgust, one shouting "Ew!" The joke is that the audience is grossed out by an unfamiliar custom while happily accepting an equally gross-sounding food that's just familiar to them. Votey: a close-up of an angry, scribbly-drawn face shouting "Hypocrisy!" into a speech bubble.
