11. Fried Brain Sandwich
Believe it or not, the notion of eating animal brains is not foreign to many. In fact, some brains of animals are considered a delicacy in many countries, including France, which likes to serve cat brains and eggs to patrons of certain restaurants. Um..I’m not so sure about this, what about you?
10. Insects
In the world at large, insects are viewed by many to be "creepy crawlies" and thus things that are meant to be looked at, and yet not touched for a variety of reasons. However, while many do indeed fear insects, others see them as a natural delicacy. And so all over the world you're going to find meals that are actually focused around insects of some shape or size.
9. Puffer Fish
If you know your sea creatures, you'll understand why it's weird that anyone would serve a Puffer Fish as a meal. Mainly because the Puffer Fish is without a doubt one of the most deadly creatures in the world because of the toxin that it has within its body. You see, within the Puffer Fish has tetrodotoxin, a toxin that is so powerful and deadly that there is no known cure for it in the world.
8. Tarantulas
Despite getting confused, insects and spiders are not the same for a whole host of reasons. But, like insects, spiders are hated and feared by many because of their looks (not their fault). But even so, many countries, including The Philippines, Thailand and Cambodia are more than willing to cook up tarantulas (one of the more feared spiders in the world) and serve them to customers. That must be interesting!
7. Bird Nest Soup
When you think about a bird nest, you likely think about small twigs, branches and leaves woven together by birds to make a strong foundation. But in truth, there are some birds, like the edible-nest swiftlets, Indian swiftlets, and other swiftlets, that actually use hardened saliva to make their own nests. The process is effective, and the results are a nest that is safe, strong...and edible.
6. Escargot
If you were to make a list of many famous dishes that you can get in France, Escargot would no doubt be in the Top 5 of that list. Which is interesting, because Escargot is just a fancy way of saying that you're eating snails.
5. Balut
All over the world, eggs are served in a variety of ways and with a variety of flavors and seasonings. But in The Philippines, they decided to take the development of certain eggs to a new level for food, and created Balut as a result. What is Balut? To put it simply, it is an egg that is actually already developing the embryo of a duck. Once the embryo has developed, the egg is then boiled, and the egg, along with the embryo is served to the customer.
4. Surstromming
The Swedish are known for many things, including the wide variety of fish meals that they make, but one of the more odd versions of fish that they make and ship is Surstromming. Basically, it's Baltic Herring that is being fermented in a large can. They're actually sold and shipped in these cans, which has occasionally caused problems for those handling them. Plus, the fermenting process can sometimes take six months to do.
3. Cobra Snake Heart
Snake meat is actually a well-known food that many people, especially survivalists, eat. As long as they know what kind of snake they're eating, they're fine. But with the Vietnamese, they take it to another level by actually cooking Cobras.
2. Haggis
On the surface, Haggis is without a doubt a unique meal, one that is a nationally recognized food of Scotland. To explain it simply, Haggis is a pudding, but one that is made up of the liver, heart, and the lungs of a sheep. That's not all though, it's also mixed with beef and oatmeal and seasoned with onions, cayenne peppers, and other various spices.
1. Hákarl
To put it simply, Hákarl is a shark, specifically a Greenland Shark. But one that has been left to ferment and rot for about 5 months. Yes, you're technically eating a rotted out shark. There is a reason for this though, the natural form of the Greenland Shark cannot be eaten fresh, as it's poisonous to the human body. So, by letting it decay just a little, the poison leaves the body. Or you could just not eat shark...
