Weirdest Food Around The World

Food.

Everybody eats. Nobody eats the same food. In fact, there are delicacies around the world that would intialy turn people's stomach's over. So I have compiled a list of "weird" food around the world, which some I have possibly/not eaten or want to try.

1) Sannakji hoe (산낙지 회), Korea


The native Korean dish is live octopus cut up, and seared with sesame oil. Be careful while eating because the tentacles an still stick to your throat!

2) Basahi ばさひ, Japan

Although found in a lot of other countries (like the US illegally cough cough), Japan has a unique perspective on Horse meat, by serving it like sashimi.

3) Crocodile Tail, New Orleans, LA

A delicacy in New Orleans, Louisiana, Crocodile tail can be served grilled, on a stick, a po' boy, you name it. It really does taste like Chicken.

4) Alpaca, Peru

The Peruvian national animal also makes for good jerky,burgers, and other delicious dishes. I have tried this in Cusco. I am half Peruvian so although I may be biased, it taste pretty good in burger form.

5) Chicken feet, Chinatown, NYC

Chicken feet can also be found in numerous cultures and countries but the ones I've eaten (yes I actually tried them) were in NYC's oldest Chinatown Dim Sum place Nom Wah Tea Parlor. Even though they are pretty gross looking and on the slimy slide, it is pretty sweet tasting! Just don't choke on the bone.

6) Criadillas de Toro, Spain

Bull balls.

If you've ever taken a Spanish class in high school, then you must have heard of what you hoped as only a crude joke or myth, but it is in fat true. Originally people ate the balls of the bull that lost in the last bull fight. Now you can just ask your local butcher to special order these babies.

7) Pan Fried Grasshoppers, Uganda

According to BuzzUganda, if you are offered this in a Uganda household, that means they repeat you so take it as a huge compliment!

8) Balut, Philippines

This is a common Fillipino food that is exactly what this picture en-captures. an 11 day old fermented egg cooked. according to Shadowsgalor.com's article "5 EXOTIC STREET FOODS FROM SOUTH EAST ASIA", balut should be eaten "with salt, chili, garlic and vinegar seasoning the egg... broth surrounding the embryo is sipped from the egg. Then the shell is peeled and the yolk and young chick inside can be eaten."

9) Tehal, Morocco

it is Stuffed Camel Spleen. It’s usually filled with beef or lamb, olives, spices, and a bit of hump fat and served in a sandwich!

10) Spam Musubi, Hawaii


Hawaii really loves

their spam okay?

11) Emu, Australia

According to travel.cnn.com, many eat Emu "in a pie made up of emu meat, smoked emu, feta cheese, red wine, sun-dried tomato, onion and Tasmanian black pepper -- all in a filo-pastry crust."

So what are you willing to try next?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
