Dining Food FOOD AND TRAVEL

Five Freaky Foods to Try on your Travels

Written by Gary

Chalupines (grasshoppers), Mexico

Let me start by saying that I am normally a big proponent of the “practice what you preach” philosophy. However, even though this may come as a surprise to some of you, I am pretty picky about what I put in my mouth.

Notice I said what, not who.

When it comes to foods, I know what I like and I know what I don’t. The don’t category pretty much includes all the foods I have never tried. Lately in life, I have broadened my horizons by slowly starting to eat seafood, but even though I often leap between 6 story buildings and drink dastardly amounts of liquor I will most likely never try any of the foods on this list. I still wholeheartedly think that you should, though.

Wasp crackers, Japan

Jellied Moose Nose, Alaska

Balut (soft-boiled fetal duck), Philippines and Vietnam
Escamoles (ant larvae), Mexico

Rocky Mountain Oysters (Bull-calf testicles) North America
