A northern swedish dish that consists of fermented baltic herring, it is usually sold in cans like the one above. While they are being shipped the cans sometimes bulge due to the ongoing fermentation. Recently, a study in Japan found that surstromming releases the most putrid odor of any food in the world. Somehow it makes sense that it’s usually eaten outdoors.

Like many eastern foods, this one is served raw. Very raw. Just watch as the chef dismembers a small octopus before your eyes and seasons the pieces with sesame oil, if he can hit them that is, because many times they are still moving on the plate as you reach for your chopsticks.

While them might be from the rocky mountains, they are certainly not oysters. They are actually bull-calf testicles – peeled, flattened, and deep fried, yum.

In indonesia they love these little stinkers. Supposedly though, they taste like bitter sunflower seeds without the salt. Chew quickly.
Hm… I suppose there are no bbundagies after all. <<actually I LOVE them
Why do people hate these foods??
I'd love to try one of these:p lol
It’s been said that humans are among the top five omnivores on Earth, but after looking at this I can safely say We’re #1!
i have had all of these and they are the nicest things i have ever eaten
Being Scottish I always find it funny seeing haggis on these lists as its perfectly normal to me. The rest however, just seem horrid but like me it will just be normal.
Some of it gross me out but again it is part of a country’s culture and identity, i’m not sure if i’m gonna try all of it but, like what Andrew Zimmern says ” If it looks good eat it!”
It shows mankind would eat anything without concerning ecosystem , we being so cruel to animals. Shame on these ppls
i think i will just stick with spaghetti for dinner tonight lol
You can’t just swallow sannakji whole either, you have to chew it. Otherwise the suckers will stick to your throat, and they will NOT let go. So you can suffocate or choke to death if you don’t fully chew that stuff.
OMG i feel so sorry for the puffin. I love puffins. Hey there was’t Hawaiian boiled puppy. i haven’t tried it but i never will. The birds nest soup is actually healthy for you.
i have eaten something like khash in Romania , it`s called “Racituri” , it`s made from pigs feet and ears and with pig grease and jelly
Yak Penis? Sidistic foreigners. I understand that foods might be different in other countries but this is the most disgusting foods I’ve ever heard of.
Where are polish tripe?????
those who like strange food, you should come to Cambodia. i’m sure you will find all kind of food that you would say “You Eat that”….
#2 Balut – i don’t think it’s famous in Philippine, i went there and most of ppl scare it but you can find it everywhere in Cambodia, 99% of ppl in cambodia eat this one..it’s street food to us…Come and See
#21 How is this any stranger than eating oysters? In the U.S. is it quite common to eat “oysters on the half shell” which are live, raw oysters. You can’t eat them dead unless they are cooked.
#25 How is this stranger than eating liver, which is an organ that filters toxins in the body? Yes, that’s right, eating liver is like eating the the organic equivalent of a sewage treatment plant.
The rest of this list reeks of ethnocentrism and xenophobia.
