Hm - South African "national costume" is a fantasy garment - but at least it is based on traditional shweshwe fabric and bead-work. Thankfully no leopard skin.
I've never been religious, so am unsure how this works - do people eat fish on Friday because that's what you're meant to do, or do they eat fish because they're not eating meat and vegetarian meals are not a thing that were traditionally popular?
It's difficult, and changes regularly, but I would think that e.g. locally-farmed trout was fairly safe. And of course oysters are arguably vegan, so mussels should be fairly safe also.
My university had a sizable minority of Catholics attending, and pretty much every cafeteria on campus offered some sort of fish on Fridays as an option for those wishing to observe. As a heathen, I just took advantage of that every now and then to lard up on fish 'n chips with fresh-made tartar sauce.

I went to school in France, and same thing. You get fish on fridays. (Then again, I went to school in the late 1980s / early 1990s, so vegetarian menus were inconceivable.)
Given that French supermarkets don't open on Sundays, buying fish or shellfish on a Saturday is therefore a mistake: anything available that day is clearly second-best. (Or at least that's how it appeared to us on the one day that we bought fish on a Saturday.)
that miss world dress up looks like a euro-vision song contest for fashion.
that said there were some nice joocy nuggets of analysis to be had: notice how most of the developed countries seemed to go with abstract and gaudy while the developing countries stuck to more elegent works based on recognisable cultural cues.
also, there were a lot of cultural cues in there which i couldent place and would inspire me to research further (what is that frame drum miss Korea is holding, and how is it used)
Also notice the amount of weaponry on display, not counting Guam's ceremonial shield, but Miss Ireland... Scimitars.... really?
also... America... why do you keep hitting yourself.
What about the countries which are neither developed, nor developing? (I assume there must be a third option, since not all developed countries are developing, some are positively dismantling).
