Bizzare Foods
How adventurous are you? I like trying knew foods and by that I mean knew kinds of meat. I prefer it cooked and unable to tell what part of the body what I'm about to eat came from. Insects and spiders or anything that can fall under crawly critter are a no for me. Fried Spiders, Bee Larvae, Grubs, wasps, scorpians and grasshoppers are just a few of the insects found to be delicacies around the world. Deep fried tarantulas in Cambodia are said to taste like a mix between chicken and cod. The grasshopper in China and other Southeast Asian countries is a regular sight. Places like the Tianjin marketplace sell it on a stick and they are also served fried (What doesn't taste good when fried?). Japan has wasp cookies... personally just the thought is disturbing. These snacks provide a good amount of protein in people's diets.
I spent a little over a week in Mexico. Authentic Mexican food is different (and many times better) than what you find at Taco Bell and Amigos. After the time I spent there all I wanted was an American cheeseburger. In general I like the foreign foods I've gotten to try. I enjoy Chinese and Thai. The biggest difference between the two for me was the spiciness. Thai has a bit more kick. Huhot, a mongolian grill, in Lincoln is another restaurant of foreign food that I like.
