The Farsi name of this dish literally translates to “head and hoof” and for good reason, as these are the central ingredients used to prepare it. While the main ingredient is cow feet, the head and stomach also contribute.

Very much like sannakji, this time the octopus is eaten whole. Like some of the other foods on this list though, it doesn’t come without its dangers. The suckers on the octopus are known to stick to the tongue and mouth presenting a choking hazard. There are several deaths reported every year as a result.

Considered a delicacy in Cambodia, it is said that fried tarantula first became popular during the food shortages under the brutal Khmer Rouge regime. After Pol Pat was ousted though, the fried tarantulas stuck around and Cambodians today eat them like candy.

To make this Scottish meal all you need is a sheep. First, take out the heart, liver, and lungs. Then boil them in the stomach for about three hours. Don’t forget the salt.

Fugu is Japanese for “pufferfish” and in case you didn’t know, yes, they are poisonous. Japanese law strictly controls their preparation in restaurants and only highly trained chefs are allowed to handle them. They are so dangerous in fact that domestic preparation has been known to cause accidental death.
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.
