Ok, here we go, top ten strangest foods from around the world ~ ~ ~~ ~ Tak faham, buat2 paham jelah dan tengok gambar !
They
say one man's trash is another man's treasure. The same could be said
about food: one man's nightmare may just be another man's delicacy. From
cow's tongue and pig's snout to chicken's feet, from fried worms and
frog's legs to sautéed snails, the list of weird stuff we eat is endless
(and often quite tasty). If you've been indulging lately and need a
reason to diet, take a read, you may just lose that appetite. Here is
the list of the ten strangest foods from around the world.
10. Fried - brain sandwiches
Long
before the era of Mad-Cow Disease, a sandwich made from fried calves'
brain, thinly sliced on white bread was a common item on the menus in
St. Louis, Missouri, USA. The sandwich is still available in the Ohio
River Valley, where the brains are now heavily battered and served on
hamburger buns. In El Salvador and Mexico beef brains, lovingly called
sesos in Spanish, are used in tacos and burritos. The brains have a
mushy texture and very little flavor on their own so the addition of
copious amounts of hot sauce definitely helps.
9. Haggis
A
traditional Scottish dish, haggis is made with the minced heart, liver
and lung of a sheep mixed with onion, spices, oatmeal, salt and stock,
and boiled in the sheep's stomach for a few hours. Larousse
Gastronomique, a popular encyclopedia of gastronomic delights, claims
that haggis has "an excellent nutty texture and delicious savory
flavor." Haggis is available year-round in Scottish supermarkets and
made with an artificial casing rather than a sheep’s stomach. In fact
some are sold in cans to be heated in a microwave before eating. Similar
dishes can be found in other European countries with goat, pork or beef
used instead of sheep.
8. Bugs
The
practice of eating insects for food is called entomophagy and is fairly
common in many parts of the world, with the exceptions of Europe and
North America (though bugs are apparently a favorite with the television
show "Fear Factor"). It is not uncommon to find vendors selling fried
grasshoppers, crickets, scorpions, spiders and worms on the streets of
Bangkok, Thailand. Insects are high in protein and apparently consist of
important fatty acids and vitamins. In fact flour from drying and
grinding up mealworm can be and is often used to make chocolate chip
cookies. So next time you think there is a fly in your soup, it may
actually just be part of the presentation.
7. Rocky Mountain Oysters
What
is so strange about oysters? Probably the fact that they're not the
kind you find at the bottom of the ocean, but rather a fancy name given
to deep-fried testicles of a buffalo, bull or boar. Rocky Mountain
oysters (also called Prairie Oysters) are well-known and regularly
enjoyed, in certain parts of the United States and Canada, generally
where cattle ranching is prevalent. The testicles are peeled, boiled,
rolled in a flour mixture, and fried, then generally served with a nice
cocktail sauce.
6. Stuffed Camel
The
recipe for a whole stuffed camel kind of reads like a bad joke, with
ingredients that include one whole camel, one whole lamb and 20 whole
chickens. The Guinness Book of World Records lists the recipe as the
largest item on any menu in the world, conveniently leaving out any
concrete examples of this dish actually being eaten. Legend has it that
that a whole stuffed camel is a traditional Bedouin dish seemingly
prepared like a Russian Stacking Doll, where a camel is stuffed with a
whole lamb, the lamb stuffed with the chickens and the chickens stuffed
with eggs and rice. The entire concoction is then barbecued until cooked
and served. Fact or fiction, the shear amount of food created by this
dish makes it deserving of a place on the list.
5. Hakarl
Anthony
Bourdain, known for eating some of the strangest foods in the world,
claims that hakarl is the most disgusting thing he has ever eaten. Made
by gutting a Greenland or Basking shark and then fermenting it for two
to four months, hakarl is an Icelandic food that reeks with the smell of
ammonia. It is available all year round in Icelandic stores and often
served in cubes on toothpicks.
4. Fugu
Fugu
is the Japanese word for the poisonous puffer fish, filled with enough
of the poison tetrodotoxin to be lethal. Only specially-trained chefs,
who undergo two to three years of training and have passed an official
test, can prepare the fish. Some chefs will choose to leave a minute
amount of poison in the fish to cause a tingling sensation on the tongue
and lips as fugu can be quite bland. Perhaps the fuss of fugu is more
in surviving the experience than the actual taste of the deadly fish.
3. Casu Marzu
Found
in the city of Sardinia in Italy, casu marzu is a cheese that is home
to live insect larvae. These larvae are deliberately added to the cheese
to promote a level of fermentation that is close to decomposition, at
which point the cheese’s fats are broken down. The tiny, translucent
worms can jump up to half a foot if disturbed, which explains why some
people prefer to brush off the insects before enjoying a spoonful of the
pungent cheese.
2. Sannakji
With
sashimi and sushi readily available the world over, eating raw seafood
is no longer considered a dining adventure. The Korean delicacy sannakji
however, is something quite different, as the seafood isn't quite dead.
Live baby octopus are sliced up and seasoned with sesame oil. The
tentacles are still squirming when this dish is served and, if not
chewed carefully, the tiny suction cups can stick to the mouth and
throat. This is not a dish for the fainthearted.
1. Balut
Balut
seems to be on every "strange food" list, usually at the top, and for
good reason. Though no longer wriggling on the plate like the live
octopus in Korea, the fertilized duck or chicken egg with a
nearly-developed embryo that is boiled and eaten in the shell is easily
one of the strangest foods in the world. Balut is very common in the
Philippines, Cambodia and Vietnam and usually sold by street vendors. It
is said balut tastes like egg and duck (or chicken), which is
essentially what it is. It is surprising to many that a food that
appears so bizarre—often the with the bird's features clearly
developed--can taste so banal. In the end, apparently everything does
indeed, just taste like chicken.
