Trying out new foods is always an adventurous journey that everyone of us will want to embark on. We travel around seeking for different types of food, not just to taste them but to know about the culture, the people, and the origin.
But this exclusive culinary experience might start off as an adventure and sometimes end up just plain weird. Have you ever come across a food that is creepy, unimaginable, yet an inner wanting to have a taste of it?
Here are some weirdest foods available around the world. How brave enough are you to try these out?
1.Fried Tarantulas- Cambodia:
The Cambodians started eating spiders, the eight-legged chow while under the regime of Khmer Rouge. This hairy arachnid is a very popular snack, that the entire country loves to eat. There is also a town in Cambodia named ‘Spider Ville’ because the towns people enjoy consuming spiders.
The fried tarantulas taste a bit like crab on board for a buggy treat?
2. Casu Marzu, Italy
Do you all like cheese? And maggots? How about we say, you try these maggots, that are ‘alive’ with some of the rare cheeses available?
Do not already feel creepy but, this weird food reigns from Italy. Italy known for its delicious cuisine, also serves this Casu Marzu
Also known as “rotten cheese”, this Sardinian delicacy is made from Pecorino. The larvae of cheese flies (piophila casei) are added to the Pecorina (which who knows what the expiry date is) , that hatch inside, burrow around, digest the fats, and transform the product into a soft creamy cheese.
3. Stargazey Pie, England:
This pie is a Cornish dish made o bake sardines. It has eggs, potatoes, covered within a pastry crush. Oops! Pastry Crust. The name sounds romantic but, not the dish!. The creepiest factor about the Stargazey pie is, as the name suggests, the heads of the fish must protrude out of the pie.
The pie originates from a Cornish village named Mousehole in England. As the legend has it, the stargazey pie is served especially on December 23rd. One night in the 16th century, a heroic sailor rowed out one December evening during high storms and returned with a catch big enough to feed starving townsfolk. and thus, the name.
It is either the fish head or fish tail
4. Tuna Eyeballs, Japan:
Ever felt weird of someone continuously gazing at you? Well, there are Japanese to the rescue, who eat those gazing eyes. Literally!
Tuna eyeballs is a unique dish that the Japanese die to eat. The easiest way to cook them is to boil or steam them, season with garlic or soy, and Bon Appetit! The tuna eyeballs however, cooked, tastes like squid.
Ready to add them on your ‘try list’?
5. Balut, Philippines:
A commonly sold street food, that is basically a fertilized, developing embryo that is boiled and eaten along from within the shell like an ice cream. (I scream?). It is widely sold in south China, mostly in Philippines, Cambodia and Vietnam
You just have to tape a hole in the top, suck the savory liquid out, and then crunch down the rest of the developed egg – feathers, bones, and all.
Which dish sounded less creepy now?
