The World has a great cultural diversity , like some habits, clothes, drinks e the most important one, Food, this one can be totally different in many countries, it could be tasty, disgusting, different, depends of the country and your taste. I'll talk about some exotic dishes around the world (most of them on Asian Continent).


Fugu (Japan) - Puffer fish meat usually served raw, but inside of fish there is a highly poisonous substance that's resist even while cooking. In 50% to 80% of the cases the ingestion could kill in 24 hours.

Drunken Shrimp (China) - it has to be eaten alive, but shrimps usually react when they're caught so, for this reason, before to be served they need to let them submerged in alcoholic drinks to be easily consumed.

Balut (Philippines) - nothing more than duck's egg, but it is while in progress, in other words is the same that if you eat a fetus, it's lightly cooked and served raw with the shell.

Kopi Luwak (Indonesia, Philippines)- just coffee beans, but the difference it's the way how it is done, these beans are collected on animals feces and even so it is considered the most tasty and expensive coffee in many countries.

Durian (Asian) - It's a fruit easily found in southeast Asian,it has a very bad smell that seems to be  rotten, its smell are compared with rotten onions, used socks and many others smelly stuff.

Casu Marzu (Italy) - a normal cheese, but once more it's the way how is prepared that's strange. Its process of manufacture need of a specific larva of a mosquito, when it's full of these larva’s the cheese is ready, because it's eaten with these larva’s alive.


Another exotic’s food: Cooked Brain’s pig, Shark’s rotten meat, Deer penis wine, Bird's nest soup, etc…
