Cambodia: Itsy Bitsy Spider
1 http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/201...obe_640_01.jpg In Cambodia the habit of eating fried tarantulas began during a period of starvation in history, but nowadays they are considered to be quite a delicacy. |

Balut, Phillippines
Balut is a “snack” consisting in a half-fertilized duck or chicken egg, served with a little salt after being boiled. One can find it all over the streets and markets of Philippines, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia and it is as popular as hotdogs are in the US. http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/201...obe_640_02.jpg |

Snake and Scorpion Wine
This unusual type of liquor can be found in Asia mostly and it is made out of a dipping Cobra or scorpion into a rice wine bottle. After a few months of fermentation, the venom is dissolved and the drink is good to serve! http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/201...obe_640_03.jpg |

Cobra Heart, Vietnam
In Vietnam one can serve a live cobra’s heart: some eat it raw, along with a cobra blood chaser while others prefer to have it with some rice wine. http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/201...obe_640_04.jpg |

Baby Mice Wine
Traditional in China and Korea, baby mice wine is considered to be a “health tonic”. The confessed taste: raw gasoline. While still alive, newborn mice are thrown into bottles full of rice wine and left there to ferment. http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/201...obe_640_06.jpg |
Re: Unusual Food Dishes From Around the Globe
Casu Marzu, Sardinia
This is a type of cheese that few people would try, as it is stuffed with insect larva. Often referred to as “maggot cheese”. It is consumed while the living beings inside it are still alive, otherwise it is said to be toxic. http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/201...obe_640_07.jpg |

Kopi Luwak, Indonesia
This is the rarest and most expensive coffee in the world, but still you might want to reconsider it, when someone politely invites you to sip from a mug full of it. Why? Because it is made out of the excrements of a creature that resembles a cat, called the Luwak. http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/201...obe_640_08.jpg |
Re: Unusual Food Dishes From Around the Globe
Tuna Eyeball
Usually served in Japan and China, the tuna eyeball is another weird dish that might not be for everyone’s taste. They say it tastes much better than it looks. http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/201...obe_640_09.jpg |
Re: Unusual Food Dishes From Around the Globe
Rocky Mountain Oysters
One might be tempted to think that these oysters can’t be much different from the ones you find at the bottom of the ocean, while they are, in fact, something totally different. A buffalo’s fried testicles got this name because it sounds more fancy. Best way to cook: peel, boil, roll into flour mixture and fry. http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/201...obe_640_10.jpg |
Re: Unusual Food Dishes From Around the Globe
Fugu
The poisonous Puffer Fish is a great sensation in many restaurants of the world. The thing is that only very qualified and trained cooks are allowed to prepare it, because of something goes wrong…well, let’s say that it could be your last meal. http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/201...obe_640_11.jpg |
Re: Unusual Food Dishes From Around the Globe
Bugs
Insects make an old dish in many parts of the world, except Europe and North America. Served all crispy, they make perfect nutritious snacks! http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/201...obe_640_12.jpg |
Re: Unusual Food Dishes From Around the Globe
Escamoles – Mexico
This weird dish comes from Mexico, from giant black ants. They make their nests in the roots of some plants. Collecting these eggs is not the most pleasant job one can get, since their owners are venomous and creepy. The eggs taste like buttery, being slightly nutty. http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/201...obe_640_13.jpg |
Re: Unusual Food Dishes From Around the Globe
Mongolian Boodog
This one is prepared by cooking the animal – usually a goat or a marmot from inside out. Yes, the WHOLE animal. Mongolians are the best cooks for this: the animal is cooked in its own skin, with the help of hot rocks. http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/201...obe_640_14.jpg |
Re: Unusual Food Dishes From Around the Globe
Whole Sheep’s Head
This dish can be served with or without brains: the head, of course. It is considered to be a delicacy even in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe areas. http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/201...obe_640_15.jpg |
Re: Unusual Food Dishes From Around the Globe
Bat Soup
Even though bats are considered to be notorious disease carriers, they are still served in soups cooked mainly in Thailand and Guam, some parts of China even. http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/201...obe_640_16.jpg |
Re: Unusual Food Dishes From Around the Globe
Ox Penis
Cooked by steaming, deep frying or simply consumed raw, the ox penis is commonly eaten by humans in the Oriental countries. In the Western countries, ox penises are usually dried out and served as dog food. http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/201...obe_640_17.jpg |
Re: Unusual Food Dishes From Around the Globe
Caterpillar Fungus
This is a fungus, a parasitic one, that invades the body of the insect larvae, eventually killing and mummifying the caterpillars. Mostly used as a medicine or as an aphrodisiac, the Caterpillar Fungus can be also served in soups. http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/201...obe_640_18.jpg |
Re: Unusual Food Dishes From Around the Globe
Human Placenta
People who dare it this believe that it prevents postpartum depression and other pregnancy complications. There are various recipes to prepare it, even cocktails and it is found mostly in America and Europe, Mexico, Hawaii, China, and the Pacific Islands. http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/201...obe_640_19.jpg |
Re: Unusual Food Dishes From Around the Globe
Kumis
This is a rather gross drink, consisting in fermented mare milk. Because a female horse’s milk contains more sugars than the femented cow’s or goat’s milk, kumis has a higher, though still mild, alcohol content. It also has a strong laxative effect. http://img.izismile.com/img/img4/201...obe_640_20.jpg |
