| Whole Sheep head |
This dish can be served with or
without brains: the head, of course. It is considered to be a delicacy even in
the Mediterranean and
Northern Europe
areas.
 |
| Bat soup |
Even though bats are considered to
be notorious disease carriers, they are still served in soups cooked mainly in
Thailand and
Guam, some parts of
China
even.
 |
| Ox penis |
Cooked by steaming, deep frying or
simply consumed raw, the ox penis is commonly eaten by humans in the Oriental
countries. In the Western countries, ox penises are usually dried out and served
as dog food.

| Caterpillar fungus |
This is a fungus, a parasitic one,
that invades the body of the insect larvae, eventually killing and mummifying
the caterpillars. Mostly used as a medicine or as an aphrodisiac, the
Caterpillar Fungus can be also served in soups.
 |
| Human placenta |
People who dare it this believe that
it prevents postpartum depression and other pregnancy complications. There are
various recipes to prepare it, even cocktails and it is found mostly in
America and
Europe, Mexico, Hawaii, China, and the
Pacific
Islands.

| kumis |
This is a rather gross drink,
consisting in fermented mare milk. Because a female horse’s milk contains more
sugars than the femented cow’s or goat’s milk, kumis has a higher, though still
mild, alcohol content. It also has a strong laxative effect.
