Depending on how well you like to experiment with your food, you’re either going to understand the weird and the wonderful, or screw your face up it. The world we live in is made up of so many different food sources. Those food sources can then be cooked in so many different flavours, with so many herbs and spices and many more to compliment it. But often people don’t get to experience that, because they stick to what they know, and don’t venture out beyond that. Well, this post is going to try and inspire you to try the weird and wonderful. Different nationalities like to produce food and drink in many different ways, and that diversity shines through most when you look at the weird and wonderful. So, without further ado, here are some of the foods and drinks that we think you should be tasting, no matter how weird you think they are.
Animals You Wouldn’t Usually Eat
If you don’t eat meat or fish of any kind, then this one isn’t going to be for you, but the vegetarian section at the end will be far more relevant. When it comes to eating meat and fish, you’re either someone who is up for trying anything, or you’ll shy away from anything that isn’t white or red meat. But when you go to different countries around the world, they definitely eat more unique animals than we do. On the menu you can find creatures like cockroaches and scorpions. The locals are raised eating these as if they’re a little meaty snack. And they do taste meaty. They often taste like chicken or something similar, with a lot more crunch. If you do ever have the chance to try it, we highly recommend that you do.
Quench Your Thirst
We all love to stay hydrated in our own unique ways, and one of the most common is to start the day with a coffee. It almost becomes addictive, and functioning without one before you leave the home becomes impossible. However, just sticking to the simple coffees you can buy out of the shops is boring. There are varieties out there such as the Cat Poop Coffee, which is exactly as weird as it sounds. The Asian cat eats coffee cherries, poops out the coffee bean, and it’s then roasted into coffee. It’s found in many countries in Asia, but can also be bought on the internet.
Wonderful Vegetarian Meals
We feel like society was one very judging of a vegetarian diet. However, more and more people are switching to the diet for the many health benefits it brings. So we think this section should be dedicated to the wonderful vegetarian meals on the menu. From veggie lasagne to halloumi fries, the veggie life is scrumptious. There’s now far more on the menu than there once used to be, and far more options in the shops. Because more people are now switching to the diet, companies are getting far more creative.
