Ewwww check out the edible bugs section, here's an excerpt:

Tequila Worms
(Mexico) The little worm, the gusano, that lives on the agave plant gets stuck in the bottle. Mmmm. There is even a special brand sold in 2-ounce bottles called "Dos Gusanos", two worms for those who can't get enough.
Locally, which is to say in North America, a not too uncommon confection is the tequila sucker--a tequila flavored lollipop, complete with worm. The first two ingredients are listed as "High fructose corn syrup, insect larva...". My question is this: if an insect larva can pass the Food and Drug Administration as an explicitly listed ingredient, what the ****'s in the stuff that the FDA rejects?

I'm gonna have nightmares about large fried spiders now...

LOL, how about this one complete with a picture~!



Sheep Head
(Norway) Smalahove is the head of a sheep that is smoked for a couple of days and is served half. You eat all of it, incl. the sheep's eyes and tongue. Smalahoved

Aboriginal Australians eat wichity grubs - a great delicacy I hear!

Also, whilst my other half was in Borneo (jungles of Malaysia), he was offered the local delicacy with his beer... live earthworms. The way you eat it was bite of its head, spit em out and eat the rest!

He tried them and he said they were quite sweet! (Of course no-one else followed suit)

And finally...

My father, once on a trip to China, was served a soup bowl size of small fish looking like whitebait... in a bowl of water, still alive! :yikes
For someone who won't eat any of his food unless it was well done or overcooked(!) He followed local custom, picked them one by one as they were swimming in his bowl, and ate the live! EEEKKK!!!! :yikes

I am the first to admit I love trying new foods. I eat all kinds of weird sh--, but draw the line at grubs, bugs, etc. I eat baby octopus heads (in sushi bars) and they crunch when you eat them. Probably crushing their little skulls along the way (ew!).... love raw oysters -- smashing them against the roof of my mouth. Nursey ever do an oyster shooter? You take an oyster, vodka, a little horseradish, sour cream and tabasco and down it from a shot glass.....Moscow oysters! Yum.

Mindykins, have you ever tried a bloody mary with a really fresh oyster in it? Oh geez, I thought bloody marys were good, but they were absolutely delicious with an oyster in them!
