| Kopi Luwak |
This is the rarest and most
expensive coffee in the world, but still you might want to reconsider it, when
someone politely invites you to sip from a mug full of it. Why? Because it is
made out of the excrements of a creature that resembles a cat, called the
Luwak.

| Tuna eyeball |
Usually served in
Japan and
China, the tuna eyeball is
another weird dish that might not be for everyone’s taste. They say it tastes
much better than it looks.
 |
| Rocky mountain oysters |
One might be tempted to think that
these oysters can’t be much different from the ones you find at the bottom of
the ocean, while they are, in fact, something totally different. A buffalo’s
fried testicles got this name because it sounds more fancy. Best way to cook:
peel, boil, roll into flour mixture and fry.
 |
| Fugu |
The poisonous Puffer Fish is a great
sensation in many restaurants of the world. The thing is that only very
qualified and trained cooks are allowed to prepare it, because if something goes
wrong…well, let’s say that it could be your last meal.
 |
| Bugs |
Insects make an old dish in many
parts of the world, except Europe and
North America. Served all
crispy, they make perfect nutritious snacks!
 |
| Escamoles |
This weird dish comes from
Mexico, from giant black
ants. They make their nests in the roots of some plants. Collecting these eggs
is not the most pleasant job one can get, since their owners are venomous and
creepy. The eggs taste like buttery, being slightly nutty.

| Mongolian Boodog |
This one is prepared by cooking the
animal – usually a goat or a marmot from inside out. Yes, the WHOLE animal.
Mongolians are the best cooks for this: the animal is cooked in its own skin,
with the help of hot rocks.
