I couldn't bring myself to post pictures of these picture, do a quick google if you need a visual.
Bird's Nest Soup - China
This is not just a clever name. This soup is actually made from a birds nest, which in turn are made of bird's hardened saliva. The texture is apparently reminiscent of mucus. Hakarl - Iceland
Hakarl has a strong ammonia smell, which makes me wonder who ever thought to eat it. This fermented shark is readily available in Icelandic stores all year round and is eaten in all seasons.
Casu Marzu - Italy
Often called ‘Italian maggot cheese’ because the special ingredient is live maggots. Casu Marzu is a rotten sheep cheese that has been made in Sardinia, Italy for generations in exactly the same way. The maggots are removed before eating, however sometimes they are missed.
Sheep's Head
This is a dish enjoyed in many countries, particularly Scandinavian and Mediterranean ones such as Morocco. The diner is served an entire sheep's head, eyeballs, tongue and all.
Balut - Philippines
This hard boiled fertilized duck embryo is a common street food in the Philippines, most people tent to season their duck fetus with a salt, chili and vinegar dressing.
