6 of the world's most terrifying foods | is it impolite not to eat it at all?
It's always a good thing not to waste food, and to use every little part of, say, a cow (for meat-eaters, of course) to avoid waste. And for the most part, humans eat almost anything as long as it's disguised as something edible, right?
Then there are some food choices that look exactly like what they are (re: insects). Yeah, when in Rome do as the Romans do may not be the right mentality when faced with these 6 of the world's most terrifying foods from Cracked website:
(6) Escamoles -- the eggs of the giant black Liometopum ant that are eaten as a condiment for tacos; (5) Casu Marzu -- an illegal Sardinian delicacy that's sheep's milk cheese deliberately infested by the cheese-fly larvae; (4) Lutefisk -- a traditional Norwegian dish of cod steeped for days in a solution of lye (potassium hydroxide/sodium hydroxide); (3) Baby Mice Wine -- a traditional Chinese and Korean "health tonic" that steeps baby mice in rice wine; (2) Pacha -- an Iraqi dish of a boiled sheep's head; (1) Balut -- a street-vendor snack from the Philippines (but also eaten in Cambodia): duck eggs incubated until the fetus has feathers and beak, then boiled alive so that the bones give the eggs a crunch.
