夢想起飛

也不知道這排行榜是多少人票選出來的？

豬血糕這名稱對老外來說，聽起是有點恐怖。但...豬肉、牛肉、鵝肝等都敢吃了，豬血糕也都煮熟了，這實在不是什麼「不尋常」的料理，就是把豬物盡其用而已啊。還有啊，榴槤也入榜！它在東南亞到處都有，到處都能吃得到，怎能算是不尋常的食物？！奇怪的評選標準啊。

10 of world's most unusual foods

SYDNEY -While much of the fun of travelling revolves around new experiences, even the most adventurous explorers may draw the line at trying certain foods.

Proving that one man’s winged rat is another man’s pricey appetizer, members and editors of travel website VirtualTourist.com have come up with a list of 10 of the world’s most unusual foods.

1. Pig’s Blood Cake; Taiwan

In Taiwan, pig’s blood cake is sold on a wooden stick and eaten like ice cream. Easily found at street markets, it’s a sweet treat generally made from pig’s blood and rice.

2. Live Octopus; South Korea

Unlike calamari which is dead and still, octopus in South Korea often arrives at the table alive and moving. Connoisseurs of the dish say it’s best to eat quickly.

3. Grasshopper; Uganda

Caught during the rainy season and eaten cooked or raw, these are a perennial favorite. Sold with or without wings and legs, they are easily found at the local markets.

4. Pigeon; France

While considered a dirty street animal by many, this poultry dish is an expensive and much-loved delicacy that graces the plates of some of the country’s finest restaurants. Considered to have a robust flavor, it still struggles to gain culinary acceptance in much of the world.

5. Durian; Malaysia

Some Malaysian hotels put up signs banning the durian. The ultra-strong aroma of this spiky fruit may turn off tourists, but many Malaysians love its doughy taste.

6. Lutefisk; Norway

Marinated in lye, this gummy fish takes days to prepare and is described as one of the most vile-tasting foodstuffs ever created. In spite of this less-than-tasty reputation, it remains hugely popular in this part of the world.

7. Grubs; Australia

These white, high-in-protein snacks are actually the larvae of moths and an important insect food of the desert, once a staple in the diets of some Aborigines.

8. Snake Wine; Vietnam

Said to have medicinal properties, this strong cocktail is best downed quickly. Not only is it made from snake blood, it’s bottled with a snake inside and occasionally other creatures, like scorpions.

9. Donkey; Italy

Sliced and eaten much like prosciutto, this sandwich meat can be found -- and accidentally ordered -- fairly easily in the country’s bars.

10. Ostrich; South Africa

Low in cholesterol and considered healthier than other meats, the ostrich is becoming more and more popular all over the world. Everything from ostrich burgers to omelettes made from the bird’s eggs are turning up on menus.
