The Vietnamese Tiet Cahn is a soup prepared with goose, duck, pig blood, and meat. The fresh blood is collected in a bowl and mixed with fish sauce to avoid premature coagulation. Meat such as duck innards are cooked with peanuts and herbs, such as coriander and mint. The blood mixture is diluted with watery broth from the previously cooked meat and it is served so the blood can set.
 

This dish is considered a great protein-rich breakfast in Vietnam, but in other countries it is considered a very dangerous meal due to the H5N1 bird flu virus that the blood can carry. Even the vietnamese government is trying to make this dish illegal to sell.
 

Known as a traditional delicacy in Mexico, huitlacoche is technically a fungus that grows in bad crops of corn over the rainy seasons. It appears in form of gray tumors around the cob and can grow almost in every part of the world, but it is considered a terrible pest that causes the loss of the whole plantation.
 

This fungus is used to prepare tacos, quesadillas, crepes, gorditas, soups, and creams. It is better served with cheese. It has high levels of nutritional values in amino acids, and essential fatty acids. The origins of this dish come from the pre-hispanic era and it is considered one of the most delicious foods in this country.

Sold in any popular market in Korea, this national treat tastes like chestnuts, soy beans, and mushrooms. Even though it has a particular nutty taste, beondegi is nothing else than silk worm larvae boiled. Its smell is very strong, memorable, and very appealing. This rich meal in proteins is better accompanied with drinks after work. Usually, it is cooked with sugar and soy sauce until they are soft enough not to crunch.
 

These larvae live and eat the inside of trees, so one can distinguish certain woody smell during the preparation. Beondegi can be also found canned in any supermarket, and even though they are very popular among koreans, tourists don’t quite well enjoy the taste of this worms.

Probably one of the most famous dishes in french cuisine, this small cooked snails are still an exotic food worth mention. Typically, escargots are prepared with melted garlic and parsley butter, but the preparation can vary depending on the restaurant or country. They are better served with wine and chicken soup in France, but in Italy and Greece snails are often prepared in other dishes such as pasta and sauces.
 

Studies suggest that near the Mediterranean, humans have been eating snails for nearly 30,000 years. Escargots are typically served in dishes with small indentations for each snail, and special tools to hold the shells and eat the snail.

Through the chinese markets it is possible to find the most unlikely snacks in the world. Chinese locals are fond of fried bugs and animals that are not often considered food, such as starfish. Even though some species can be specially poisonous and unsanitary, in China it doesn’t appear to matter at all.

The outer shell of the starfish has a typical fried taste to it, but the interior of the animal is the strange flavoured and textured. With a soft pasty texture, the inside of the starfish tastes like strong seafood. If the taste of fish is not appealing to you, you can try also scorpions on a stick.
