Do Jamaicans eat...

Yesterday I posted about how the Jamerican told us that people don't eat pizza in Jamaica.  I found that hard to believe, so I googled, "Do Jamaicans eat pizza?"  The third result from the search was Answers.com - Do Jamaicans eat cats?  This surprised not only me but the Kiwi Flatmate and the Jamerican.  Who would think to ask whether or not Jamaicans eat cats?  Then the first result on the second page was do Jamaicans eat hamsters?  Craziness!


The Kiwi Flatmate tried to google the same thing, and after she had typed, "Do Jamaicans eat...", Google autocomplete gave this:
We started playing around with the autocomplete, and this is what we got for New Zealanders:

And for Americans:

So from this, we can conclude that internet users around the world often wonder whether Jamaicans eat cats, whether New Zealanders eat Christmas, and whether Americans eat too much.  Only the last one is not surprising.
