Bizarre foods around the world

People from all around the world have different taste in foods and there are some pretty strange foods out there, but they don't come anywhere close to the following...







 Water Centipedes. 
 In China eating water centipedes is quiet common for most of the people living there. Water centipedes are usually served deep fried and are sometimes confused by small/skinny shrimp. 
















 Bull's testicles and penises. 
This is very common in Spain. They are known to be a royalty dish in some countries. They also say that by eating this it will help you boost your performance in bed. 

Tarantulas. 
 In Cambodia frying spiders and then eating them is common. They fry them until their hair starts to fall out. This process makes it easier,  so they don't have to pluck them.    




















                                                                                  Balut.
 In the Philippines they eat balut. Balut is basically a fertilized egg that is boiled just before it is about to hatch. A balut is as common a a hot dog in the United States.

                                             Fried brains. 

 Fried brains are consumed in Mexico, El Salvador and even in some places in the United States. In the United States they are served in sandwiches and in Mexico and El Salvador they are served in tacos and burritos. 

Weird? Bizarre? Strange? or maybe appealing? These 5 foods are definitely not something we see or try everyday..but there are people out there that actually eat these foods. Would you? 


For me the centipedes and tarantulas just make my tummy turn. I can't imagine myself eating any of those two! It is interesting how every culture has their own strange foods. 

In my culture (Mexican) we eat many strange foods too but one of my favorites is "lengua" (cow tongue)! It looks really really disgusting but it is so good. I always use to tell my mom I hated cow tongue even though I never actually tried it. So one day my mom made tacos and she told me they were beef...She lied!! They were not beef they were the cow's tongue! It was really good so I didn't complain at all. 


So now when we look at these different foods we might want to taste them before we go ahead and judge them.
