Delicacies from around the World
Tuna Eyeballs (Japan)
These are commonly eaten throughout China and Japan. The tuna eyes themselves are quite large and are sold by the pound. They are typically served fried and eaten with white rice and soy sauce. To cook, just boil and add any seasoning you please. We prefer Sriracha.
Fried Brain Sandwich (USA)
You read that correctly. This delicacy is made up of sliced calf brain, which is said to be quite tasty. Served on either a roll or hero, you are going to need a whole lot of bread to handle this meat. While this dish has been banned throughout most of the United States, for certain mad cow disease reasons, you can get one in the Ohio River Valley — the hicks are still whipping these bad boys up there.
Fugu (Japan)
Commonly known as the puffer fish, Fugu is one of the most lethal foods on the list. Filled with the poisonous tetrodotoxin, this can kill a man if ingested improperly. Some chefs are known to actually keep a bit of this poison in the fish to cause a light tingling sensation on the mouth and lip.
Rocky Mountain Oysters (USA)
How much more do you need to dominate a species than by selling its testicles as food? We’re talking about every male’s pride and lifeline here. Derived from the good old USA (and some parts of Canada), these weren’t actually conceptualized in the Rocky Mountains at all. There’s no real clear cut definition for this dish either, as you can get anything from cow, pig and even sheep… balls. All up in your mouth. Yum. Down this with heavy sauce to mask the fact that you’re eating nuts.
A-Ping Cambodia
A street food favorite in Cambodia, these fried tarantulas aren’t as bad as they seem. Especially when there’s food shortages and your city is infested with the creatures. Then why the hell not chow down on these things? Eat them by hand or on a stick, there is no hiding the fact that you’re eating burnt spiders.
Haggis (Scotland)
Our good old Scot friends decided to concoct one of the most vile and vomit-inducing dishes of all time with this one. Served in stomach lining, you are eating some heart, liver and of course those delicious lungs. Boil these for about three hours and douse it in salt if you don’t want to yack it everywhere.
Yak Penis (China)
Goat Head (South Africa)
Century Egg (China)
