Top 10 Weirdest Foods

The weirdest foods from around the world.

Rattlesnake Steak – from Texas, USA

A steak made from rattle snake. It was a nasty to think about the snake, but was kind of chewy, At least they put some spices and herbs on it.

Mexican Worm Tacos – from [Central] Mexico

Fried caterpillars in a spicy, meaty tortilla anyone?… Didn’t think so…. Actually not as bad when fried,  But not a good snack (at least for me).

Hirnsuppe – Germany [all places in Germany]

Raw calf [baby cow] brains…. The kind of brain food you wouldn’t expect.

Actually it was pretty yummy, until I asked what it was (it was in a soup) … (I’m not sure if this is the right picture)

Snake soup – Hong Kong

Snake is usually most eaten [in Hong Kong] in winter, mostly because you can drink the warm snake blood (I had wine instead…Ugh warm snake blood *shivers*).

Tasted a bit like chicken [soup] , really tough chicken with spicy broth and a glass of wine.

Giraffe – Kenya [Africa]

It actually a pretty good dish. It was very tender and had a nice taste to it (very unique). 

If you visit Kenya (or near it) you’ve got to try it (unless you don’t eat meat)

Crocodile – Kenya [again]

It may be a white meat, unique too, but it’s not as good. For a white meat it’s rich and heavy. I had it roasted over hot coals (on a split), and it was pretty good.

“ Hundred Year egg “ – China

It was a thinly sliced hardboiled egg, but the yellow was BLACKand the white was

Yellow-greenish[like a light green grass color]…. Ugh, it was as bad as it looked.

Disgusting, more like hundred year OLD egg.

Boiled Electric Eel – Ecuador

Cut up chunks of eel, boiled in soup. I The inside was real bony , the outside was slimy and tasted muddy…I like the snake soup MUCH better.

Kava – Fiji

 

It’s actually a drink. Its nasty, tastes like wet cement. It’s made of crushed Kava root and water. It’s kind of white like milk. Eww, I might actually like the warm snake blood more, and that’s saying something.

Clay – Africa

No tricks, its actual (though very carefully) dug up clay that Africans eat. It’s very rich and mineral like, similar to a mineral tablet. I didn’t try it, but my friend claims he did (pfft yeah right). I saw this while eating crocodile (not the same time, but that same day). I would THINK it would taste very rugged, and chewy.

The clay is dug up and used carefully to make sure its edible, but I wouldn’t go to an art store and buy it like a candy bar.

Well that concludes my documentary on weird foods (for now). Just to know, about the longest time period from eating these foods were about 4 years. At least not all of the weird stuff is gross.

Thank you for reading this, I wonder what weird food is next! (Hopefully a tasty one!) Bye! PS: If you know a weird food, pm me and I might just eat it!
