Is anyone else going through and guessing at where people are from?
All the cheese people I'm guessing are either French or from the American Midwest (the former eating significantly different cheese than the latter). The tea people are probably British. Peanut Butter is likely a North America only thing.
No but I sure am guessing their socio economic status.
I'm not sure if it's possible to accurately guess our locations based on food choices. Everyone's giving such generic choices that they could be from everywhere. Shit-tons of Americans drink tea, for example. Lots of other rich countries have American restaurants for American style food and therefore could have people who like stuff like peanut butter which isn't a part of their home country's traditional cuisine.
In Iceland they have a restaurant literally named "American Style". It's made to look like the classic 50s diner, movie memorabilia type place, with burgers and fries.
