At a moderate speed, please.
What do you usually orden in the restaurants or cafes? You start with a green salad, then have a plate of spaghetti or a bowl of onion soup and at the end you enjoy a cup of fruit tea and a sweet cake. Yum… But that’s too ordinary.
Today we offer you an exotic menu from all over the world.
Fried tarantula
Fried tarantula is a national “leggy” snack in Cambodia. You should fry a spider in a mixture of oil, sugar, salt and garlic.
Mopane worm
Dried mopane worm (or caterpillar) is a crisp delicacy in Southern Africa and an important source of protein for millions of Southern Africans. Don’t forget to add tomato or chili sauce to it.
Tuna eyeball
Tuna eyeball is a popular and relatively cheap delicacy in Japan. You can boil an eyeball or fry it with garlic. At the end you should serve it with a soy sauce. By the way, tuna eyeball is very healthy as it contains a lot of Vitamin D and proteins.
Bird’s nest soup
Bird’s nest soup is a very old and expensive delicacy in China. A cook usually boils a nest in chicken broth. It is often called the meal for emperors. For example, a bowl of soup costs about 40 $.
Another king of food comes from southest Asia. It’s actually not a meat or fish, but a fruit. It’s called Durian. This fruit has a large size, nice taste and unique smell. Many people who have ever tried it say that Durian “tastes like Heaven and smells like Hell”. By the way, it’s not so cheap.
But not only Asian or African countries are famous for their specific dishes.
Hakarl
Hakarl is a special meal in Iceland. The process of cooking is not too difficult. The main condition of well-cooked hakarl is … a waiting. Icelanders cut the shark and put it in special containers to keep it there for 6 or 8 weeks. Then a cook hangs it in the fresh air. In 2 months Hakarl is ready to eat. You can buy this “rotten delicacy” in practically any Icelandic store all year round.
Haggis
Haggis is a national Scottish dish which has an unusual cooking process. A cook usually mixes sheep’s insides, onion, oatmeal, spices and salt, then puts this mixture in the animal’s stomach and boils it for three hours. You can find Haggis in most supermarkets in Scotland and other parts of the world.
Those were all the specials on our today’s menu. Have a nice meal!
