Trying exotic and strange local food from around the world is one of the best perks of traveling. Foods on this list, however, are so weird that even the bravest tourists are often reluctant to try them. Check out some of the weirdest foods from around the world.
Tuna Eyeballs, Japan
Japanese cuisine is world-famous but this country is also home to many strange foods, such as tuna eyeballs. Even though it sounds bizarre, this is a pretty common food in Japan and Southeast Asia in general, and people say it tastes similar to octopus or squid.
Escamol, Mexico
Escamol is a traditional Mexican dish, also known as Mexican caviar. Even though it sounds and looks sophisticated, this dish is actually made from ant larvae and is considered a treat in Mexico.
Beondegi, South Korea
Eating silkworms sound like a terrible idea, but if you ever travel to South Korea you’ll notice that this is actually very common. Beondegi is a traditional South Korean dish and popular street food among tourists in this country.
Steak Tartare, France
After all those insect dishes, eating a steak doesn’t sound like a bad idea. However, steak tartare is made from raw beef or horse meat and served with an egg yolk, and you can try it on your next trip to France.
