When you eat in a restaurant or even at home, a hair or a fly in the food can make us literally return the order. At the beginning of this article you will probably think of everything written as a joke, but these are real delicacies from around the world that will make you shiver with disgust and disgust, but for any strange food, and for those there are customers who pay crazy money for some of them.

We have all heard of people eating bugs and other types of insects when they are placed in desperate situations such as being stranded on a desert island, lost in the wild jungle bushes or participating in unusual reality races.

In such extreme situations, it is somehow understandable to eat a fly, two, but to order in a restaurant and eat willingly is already unacceptable and quite strange.

It would hardly be enough for me to write a few articles to write all the strange monstrous delicacies I came across on the net, but a few of them can definitely be sifted out, which made me goosebumps.

Casu Marzu - this is an Italian cheese made in Sardinia with an incredibly ominous smell and many worms. In most of Italy, cheese is banned from production and consumption precisely because of its danger. If any of you decide to try such a cheese, you should look for it on the black market and prepare a lot of money for it.

Similar to Pecorino cheese technology, Casu Marzu is made from sheep's milk, which is left to ferment, the top is carved as a lid and left open, in this opening the flies settle comfortably and lay eggs, which later become larvae. The idea of the whole procedure is that the worms soften the cheese and the interesting thing is that they should be consumed together with the cheese to avoid toxicity.

Giant frogs - Frog legs are a real delicacy not only in France but all over the world. Yes, but in Namibia, people consume whole giant frogs, considering them a national culinary delicacy. The danger behind this monstrous culinary jewel lies in the choice of frog. The frog chosen for your tempting dinner should not be too young. Young frogs carry venom, which can lead to kidney failure or even death. If you still risk trying, make sure the frog on your plate is older.

Mussels with blood - In Shanghai you can try mussels with blood. The mussels themselves are not deadly and dangerous, despite their terrifying appearance, and are a real delicacy for the Chinese.

Squirrel Brain - Declared a regional delicacy of Kentucky. In 1990, doctors there recommended that the squirrel's brain be banned from consumption because it causes diseases in the human body. This conclusion was reached after a study of a group of people who regularly consumed the delicacy and suffered from serious diseases.

Stinky fish heads - this delicacy you can try in Alaska. It consists of fish heads buried underground and left for several weeks. The more smelly, the tastier they are.

Cape moose - a delicacy of North America. To cook this culinary miracle you need to boil on high heat for an hour, then remove the skin and fur. Serve on a slice sprinkled with black pepper and salt.

Shiokara - This specialty can be eaten in Japan. The dish is prepared from salted fermented entrails of various sea animals soaked in brown paste. The entrails are salted in a closed vessel and fermented for a month.

For dessert in this wonderful country you can try Wasp Crackers. These are rice cookies with wasps. The insects are boiled, then dried and mixed with rice mix. They are easily found in gourmet shops and local markets. A bag of biscuits is out of money - it costs about $ 3.
