- strange news, top list
Every culture has its own food specialties that are rather unusual to others. Here we have picked out 10 food dishes that are strange and maybe repulsive.
10. Ducks tongue. This specialty is available in Hong Kong, and is often served with celery.
9. Worm-filled lollipops. These lollipops are filled with oatmeal worms and grasshoppers. You simply suck them out and eat them.
8. Haggis. At a first glance it looks like a vegetable, but in reality it’s a sheep’s heart, lungs and liver mixed with spices, oatmeal and onion.
7. Deep fried Mars bar. Considered as one of Scotland’s most famous delicacies, these Mars bars are fried in oil and proudly served in fish and chip shops.
6. Digger wasp rice cracker. In Japan rice crackers are so popular that they are making them with insects like wasps.
5. Fried spiders. These spiders taste like chicken with a crispy surface, and if you want to try one you should go to Cambodia.
4. Snake. Most people despite these creatures but in China stuffed snake and snake powder are a common dishes.
3. Seahorses on skewers. In China they deep fry these seahorses and put them on skewers for sale. They are considered as a delicacy because seahorses are rare to find.
2. Blood dishes. These bowls of raw blood are pretty common in Southeast Asia. The blood are usually from ducks or pigs and it can be eaten with different cooked entrails.
1. Guinea pig. During a pig festival in Peru, these guinea pigs are cooked. It is a traditional dish that goes way back to pre-Incas times.
This list forgot Balut.

lol haggis is quite normal albeit having nasty ingredients, its lovely, also we hate the deep fried mars bars, its our national shame haha. i tried one once and it was disgusting. to be fair tho they should have fried it in clean oil and not the same sh*t they use for fish and chips etc.
in Poland they have a ducks blood soup, czernina, not even balut was listed here wtf lol.
Jun 27, 2010where is the macdonalds burger??… thats a nasty one!
Jun 28, 2010Hey bro! Do u ever eat pinea pig??? In Perú we call it “Cuy” .. and it’s SO DELICIOUS …. maybe u wrote that because it seems like a rat, I know… but, is u said nasty…. c’mon! it’s really good meal!
Jun 28, 2010guinea pigs are very tasty here in peru.. it tastes like a little chicken but it has a very good flavor
Jun 28, 2010ohhh we won, Peru won !!! xD
Jun 28, 2010I can bet that if you eat a fried Guinea Pig (in fact, the name is fried CUY) without knowing what it is and maybe in a better presentation of the dish … you’ll want to repeat the meal x)
Haggis is not nasty. It’s beautiful.
How can haggis be in a ‘nasty food’ list, but pork sausages aren’t when they are made of even nastier cuts of a pig and also mixed with saw dust?!
Crazy.
Jun 29, 2010As a Hong Kong-er, eating ducks tongue isn’t a big deal. It is so common like eating chips or french fried in USA.
Jun 29, 2010I’m peruvian, and here the guinea pig is called CUY, is delicious, really. You have to taste it. Oh, you forgot Zuri, is a dish from de jungle. The Zuri is larv wich grow up in some trees.
Jul 3, 2010Don’t forget Menudo from Mexico, it is basically cow stomach stew. I am hooked on it and it is one of my favorite dishes EVER!
Jul 3, 2010i just puked! thats NASTY!
Jul 4, 2010Having been to China- I tried duck tongue and that was as adventurous as I got. What we get in CHinese restaurants in the West- is not common in China!
Jul 5, 2010For example my Shanghai hosts knew I was Western and probably worried about food- so they served goat hip and pig spine- actually quite tasty- but both very smelly.
Balut in Philippines is cooked duck or chicken half-grown in the egg- sounds disgusting but is delicious.
Blood sausage & pickled bloody duck egg is only common among the non Muslims.
Haggis is nice- it just sounds disgusting. Deep fried mars bar- delicious.
Sea-horse is not bad- it tastes mildly fishy- no different to eating shrimp.
Spider, scorpion & grasshopper are disgusting.
Don’t forget Koreans & some Chinese and their love of dog & rat meat.
Also in China the Guangzhou (southerners) people are famous for eating anything with legs not a furniture, that flies is not a plane or swims that is not a ship. Also from Guangzhou- but now popular in Beijing and Shanghai is
Guo-li-zhuang famous penis restaurant”- which is hugely popular with a US branch.
Crazy Chinese.
Well, that all very nasty..
let me switch to tell you, Burger usually made by flesh of Chicken or Beef, or mix by cheese or eggs,
so, have you ever known about the burger made from snake of Cobra..??
it really happen in my country, Indonesia..
just take a look here: http://indonesia-hits.com/2010/07/02/burgers-made-by-snake-of-cobra-indonesia/
Jul 7, 2010Grew up in Hong Kong, I’ve seen & tried some of these wacky stuff.
Jul 12, 2010I’ve eaten cuy in Peru, not much meat in it, just a lot of skin & some fat. It’s on the menu there but I got the feeling people didn’t eat it much cause I had to wait a while.
Aborigines in Australia eat Witchetty grubs alive.
Mars Bar and haggis are actually very nice. Dont know how they can be compared to eating a fried spider -.-
Jul 13, 2010In GUAM, pig intestins are bar b que, cooked in a dish with blood, deep fried, and my favorite cooking would be beef intestins, beef towel, and beef liver in coconut milk and soy sausce….it is finger licking good.
love to chow!
Aug 3, 2010How come that Guiniea Pig are no. 1? we usually eat that it’s not exotic food for us.. whatabout Balut? fried fetus of ducks? fried Bats. fried Grasshopper, cow’s penises, fresh blood of snakes, fresh cultured worms, crickets, sauted caterpillars…fried native frogs. it’s all in our restaurants and in the market… visit Mindanao it’s all in the box… nom nom…
Aug 4, 2010ew…. I would not dare to eat them…
Soendoro Soetanto
Aug 4, 2010In places where there are a lot of people and food is scarce, anything that doesn’t eat you first will eventually be food. When you are hungry, boiled earthworms, maggots, and yes, even Haggis, become delicious. I agree that the McDonald’s hamburger should have been included. As a source of nutrition, it is perhaps the most disgusting of all.
Aug 6, 2010Black pudding should be on this list. I mean it’s basically congealed blood full of disease. Yuck!
Aug 22, 2010But blood is common here in asia, i’m a malaysian chinese and alot of people lyk 2 eat pig blood.You can cook or steam it
Chop it into ice-cube-like shapes and serve it with some lotus root soup, rice and 
Try pig skin too,it looks like a yellow-sponge-fiber thingi when cooked
Sep 5, 2010I’ve tried everything on this list except for worm filled lollipops while I was traveling (not sure where I can find those besides from online.) I am really surprised lutefisk is not on this list. Lets just say lye and fish do not go well together…
Sep 8, 2010From my memory, duck tongue, snake, and guinea pig were all very delicious.
