Strangest Foods Eaten Around The World

Razor clams

 

Seeking strange foods? It doesn’t get much weirder than Wasp Crackers. Even in Japan, where they’re eaten, these are considered an oddity. Like to give them a try? You’re braver than us. The crackers in question are quite a recent phenomenon, dreamt up by a so-called ‘fan club for wasps’ in a small town called Omachi. Here, they’re known as ‘Jibachi Senbei’.

Digger Wasps native to the region are captured before being boiled, dried, and added to the rice cracker mix. Each cracker contains five or six wasps. The taste is best described as being bitter, and a little like eating burnt raisins.

We could live with this, but the texture is perturbing. The wasps’ wings and legs are prone to get stuck in the teeth, which makes it a non-starter for us. Looking for an unusual experience? You’ll probably find content here.

 

Like to take a Bush Tucker Trial? You don’t need to be a celebrity. Just head Down Under. Here, in the outback, Witchetty Grubs can be found in plentiful supply. You just have to be brave enough to tuck in. Long a staple in traditional Aboriginal diets, Witchetty Grubs are packed with protein and make for a nourishing snack.

The flavour is a little like almonds, with crispy skin and a soft inside. These don’t look too appetizing, it’s true, but don’t be fooled by their appearance. Witchetty Grubs are, in fact, surprisingly tasty.

The grubs are the larvae of various Australian moth species — in particular, the giant Cossid Moth, that feeds on Witchetty Bushes (hence the name). Long, plump and white, they’re none too attractive, but don’t let this put you off. Eat them raw, or lightly cooked in hot ashes for a snack that, whilst flavoursome, could not be weirder.

 

^^^^I have been told they taste like custard.

Have you tried them?

 

Some men of Greek origin men living in Melbourne will take fish bones , dust with flour and deep fry. Quite crunchy I would imagine.

 

Not sure I would try those.
Although some people might?
Some people bite their own fingernails and toenails!

 

Not yet Candy.
