Five Grossest and Most Interesting Foods From Around the World

by Crazy Quill, Oct 3, 2007

I thought that okra was disgusting until I read about some of these foods.

Baby Mouse and Seagull Wine: They are just as they sound. Baby mouse wine is drunk in China and you fill a rice wine bottle with baby mice. Seagull wine is drunk by Eskimos and you just put it in a bottle with water then let it ferment.
Intoxicated shrimp: In china you put live shrimp in rice wine let them live there then take them out with chopsticks and then bite their heads off.
Monkey toes: In Indonesia they eat monkey's toes right off of the bones
In Africa they drain blood from their livestock and then drink the blood
In Japan they eat blowfish containing an organ deadly enough to kill somebody, so only licensed chefs are allowed to prepare it. Still, about 300 people a year die of it.

I hope you have not just had dinner.

i couldnt find many pics, but im sure if you look around some more you could, much of the food is aboriginal food so many of the people with non-native blood wont eat it. some of it is also quickly dying out.
