Crazy Foods

     Unintentionally, when I was googling around, I found out about this crazy food. It makes me feels like losing my appetite right away... I don't know if it's 'that delicious' that people eat it... but, for me, I think I'll pass... Yeah, I won't eat it, even it's free... I feel I'm going to cry...



1) A-ping

     It's actually a fried Tarantula, mostly can be found in Cambodia. And I heard people eat that thing like a candy. It all started when there's a food shortage under the brutal Khmer Rouge regime.

2) Escamole

     Guess what it is? It's typically what we call ant larvae. People said that it's kinda nutty and referred as 'animal caviar'. It's a delicacy in Mexico.

3) Casu Marzu

     It's Sardinian sheep milk cheese. What's so special about it, of course, it contains maggots. Alive and lively I should say, because when the maggots are disturbed, they can launched itself for 15 cm. In Corsica people call it casgiu merzu. And I heard that the textures is soft and left an after-taste for several hours.

4) Nakji

     It's an octopus, eaten alive, whole. And I heard the octopus can sticks to their tongues. Several death had been reported for eating this. And I still don't understand why people eat it still even knowing the circumstances.

5) Ying-Yang Fish

     It's fish, usually carp. Yeah, it's fish and had been deep-fry, but still alive. The name tell us all about it, dead and alive fish. Somehow, it's such a way to show that the fish is still fresh. But, even so, isn't it some kind of animal abuse? It's originated from Taiwan.

     There's a lot more, but, it's too scary to venture more than this.
