Moving Day is an example of something I thought was normal but only realized was a local custom when I moved to another country.
Frozen thinly-sliced fondue meat (beef, pork, turkey) being available at any grocery store was another one. Fondue in a pot of beef broth is a popular dish for dinner parties in Québec since it scales no matter how many guests you have and each guest can eat however much or little they want. In the US the closest I can find is beef bulgogi from a Korean grocery store.
What are some examples of things you thought were "normal" until you moved elsewhere?
