2. Centenary Egg, Bizarre food in China
Centenarian egg available in Turin is great. Mica is 100 years old indeed: at most 100 days (about three months). It is the time required by the traditional Chinese method, which involves the storage of duck eggs (rarely hen) in a pack of water, salt, ash, lime and coal. At the end of the process of fermentation, the album takes on the typical intense brown color, sometimes tending to violet, while the yolk is dark green with concentric black circles.
3. Fugu, Bizarre food in Japan
Do not underestimate the ball fish. In the Italian imaginary, one could never imagine that such a cute animal could really be so dangerous (by the dead, among other things). I'm talking about fugu, one of the most famous dishes of Japanese gastronomic tradition. In fact, fugu can be lethal if some body parts are not properly removed. In Japan, a special knife and, above all, a government license to handle this dish are needed. Nonetheless, from 2000 to today there are 20 deaths due to fugu consumption.

They are generally consumed alive and raw, and are a source of protein.
6. Shiokara, Bizarre food in Japan

Jessica Simpson is far behind Jessica Simpson's grasshoppers in a Thai market with obvious disgust. Indeed: usually fried or served with lime and garlic, grasshoppers are now a rather popular dish, that is a Mexican restaurant chain.
8. Sannakji, Bizarre food in Corea
"Catch me if you can," is the case to say it. The snakji, from traditional Korean cuisine, is a typical example of minimal manipulation of raw material: the octopus is cleaned, cut into small pieces and served that still slices. Some mention the risk, vague, of suffocation after eating it.
9. Escamoles, Bizarre food in Mexico
It's the "tequila with the worm" carcinoma. At tequila all the glory (rightly), and no one ever remembers the worm: escamoles, so are called, the Candida larvae collected from the plants of the blue agave, from which the tequila is distilled. The Mexicans affectionately call them "caviar insects".

The name is exotic, refined and we're obviously talking about fried bull testicles, America's cowboys and rodeo fetish food.
16. Black Ivory Coffee, Bizarre food in Thailand
The reason why a coffee blend can cost $ 1.100 a pound has to be really special. In fact, in the case of Black Ivory, it can be said that its grains are manually harvested from the Thai elephants to which they are eaten and foretold.
17. Balut, Bizarre food in Philippines
The whalebone, originally Filipino but spread throughout Southeast Asia, is a duck or hen egg fertilized and boiled in its shell shortly before its hatch when the embryo inside it is almost completely formed.
