Holy crap that's weird! This is generally not a good thing to say at any point at a formal party or in public. If you happen to find yourself in a strange situation, meeting a strange person, seeing strange art, or eating strange food, it's a good idea to have a "safe expression of fear". Teach yourself to use this expression all of the time, even at home. "Hey, that's different", or "Interesting", goes over much better in these situations. If you practice your "safe expression of fear" at home, in no time it will become second nature. This will be handy because strange things don't often come announced, and you wouldn't want to offend.
I've got a bunch more etiquette tips on the way.
