Weird food from around the world: unpleasant or just different from what you're used to? The ways we prepare food range greatly around the world; while traveling, some of us will take advantage of any chance to explore new flavors, while others may simply exclaim, "Yuck!" and walk on. This article will help you decide.
For that reason, another trend has also started: to not waste any part of the animal or vegetable that is being served. Bull testicles, for example, can become Rocky Mountain Oysters, but what on earth do you do with a donkey penis?
Scorpion candy is made in different ways depending on what kind of texture you’re going for (for example, some people like their scorpion powder to be more chunky while others prefer it smooth). This candy can be found in many places, including online.

1. Jellied Moose Nose, Canada
Source: tasteatlas
In the 1830’s indigenous people across Canada and Alaska would hunt moose for food, and every part of it was used. The recipe was even featured in the 1967 publication of the Northern Cookbook. Besides tracking down a moose, it’s a labor-intensive recipe, too, since the hair inside the moose nose must first be removed before boiling and re-boiling the nose, and finally covering it with a broth which sets into a jelly. Voila: jellied moose nose!2. Fried Tarantulas, Cambodia

An eight-legged dish with a dark past, starving Cambodians first began eating spiders under the Khmer Rouge regime. Today, the hairy arachnids are still considered a popular snack throughout the country – there’s even one Cambodian town nicknamed Spiderville because the townspeople love eating spiders so much. Apparently, they taste a bit like crab, so perhaps this is a new bugs-as-food trend you can get on board with.3. Balut, Philippines

Enter another egg delicacy: the Philippines’ balut. What is balut? Well, it’s a fertilized egg – usually duck – that’s about two-three weeks into development, boiled alive, and then eaten directly from the shell, seasoned with salt, chili, and vinegar. Embryo and all? Yes. Traditionally, you’re meant to tape a hole in the top, suck the savory liquid out, and then crunch down the rest of the developed egg – feathers, bones, and all.4.

Yeah, OK, it’s neither a century nor a millennium old, but this egg is pretty rotten. After being preserved in a mixture of clay, ash, and quicklime for a few months, the yolk turns a dark green or even black and slimy while the white has turned to a dark brown translucent jelly. Apparently, it smells strongly of sulphur and ammonia but tastes like a hardboiled egg… until you breathe out that is.5. Beondegi, South Korea

Mmm, lovely, lovely silkworm. Simply boiled or steamed and lightly seasoned, this is a popular snack all over Korea and is usually sold by street vendors. Apparently,c, if you’ve ever tried wood…?6. Casu Marzu, Italy

One of the most famous (or infamous) dishes is Casu Marzu, which is a cheese that’s infested with live maggots. The maggots are what make the cheese so pungent and strong-tasting, and some people even say that it’s an acquired taste. If you’re feeling brave, you can try this maggot cheese for yourself – just be sure to remove the maggots before you eat it!7. Khash, Armenia

Khash is a traditional Armenian dish that is made from a cow’s feet and stomach. It’s usually boiled for several hours until it’s tender, and then it’s served with garlic and vinegar. Some people say that khash tastes like beef, but others find it to be too gamey.8. Donkey Penis Sandwich, China

One of the most popular trends in modern cuisine today is to bring the farm to the restaurant. The problem with that, however, is that there are a lot of components of animals and vegetables that end up going to waste.For that reason, another trend has also started: to not waste any part of the animal or vegetable that is being served. Bull testicles, for example, can become Rocky Mountain Oysters, but what on earth do you do with a donkey penis?

The Coypu, when you look at it, seems to be the result of what you’d get if you crossed a rat, a beaver, and a groundhog together to create an animal. Often prized throughout history because of their fur, when food began to run out around the world in historical times, people turned to the Coypu.10. Scorpion candy, US
