Welcome to the thrilling category of bizarre food around the world. Exploring culinary boundaries is a somewhat unusual yet unique experience that has led us to taste the most unusual and fascinating delicacies that international cuisine has to offer. In this culinary journey, you will virtually immerse yourself in a feast of exotic flavors that defy traditional expectations and might make you scrunch your nose a bit – DON’T BE SCARED, PLEASE!
One of the boldest experiences we’ve had was trying fugu in Japan, a pufferfish known for its delicate flesh, yet potentially deadly if not prepared properly. A unique experience among the many we’ve had in the Land of the Rising Sun.
In the Philippines, we ventured to taste balut, a fertilized egg with developed embryos – yes, you read that right, an egg with an embryo! Although it may sound distasteful, this delicacy is appreciated in almost every Southeast Asian country. If you want to know what we think about this delicacy, we’ll reveal it in this category.
Another extraordinary dish we tried is snake meat, precisely in Vietnam. If we were to tell you the ultra-cultural experience we had, you wouldn’t disconnect from us anymore.
In addition to these three strange delicacies, we’ve tried extravagant and often disgusting (to most people) dishes in almost every country we’ve visited, studying and understanding part of each country’s culture and the reasons behind consuming these dishes. In fact, this category serves us to tell you stories, cultures, and final impressions of this part of the world’s gastronomy that is frequently overlooked.
We hope you enjoy this bizarre food around the world category, and by reading our articles, you dare to try these ingredients. Enjoy your meal.
