Why did Tingting say fish head may sound strange to Anna and Lisa
What other Chinese dishes sound strange to foreigners

Most foreigners would probably like the steamed fish head covered with chillies if you could get them to try the food. However, in western countries fish heads are almost never served in a restaurant because they are considered unusual, so less adventurous foreigners may be willing to try that as well.
