Would you try one of the 20 most ‘strange’ foods in the world? Achi-News

Atlas tasteThe site for all things food in the world knows that people have an appetite to learn about the unusual or even gross side of cuisine, as well as the more common delicacies.

That’s why they created this infographic of exotics, rarities and mistakes. And by mistake, we really really mean it Mistake. Look now if you have a delicate constitution.

NB. Making finnikpikan in the way described is fortunately now illegal PhilippinesAnd many other dishes on the list are no longer eaten, probably because people discovered pizza.

Although TasteAtlas shared the image back in 2019, it recently surfaced on Reddit r/CoolGuides The forum, where it has proven very popular, with over 18,000 upvotes…which is more than can be said for most dishes.

I’m Scottish, I’ve lived here all my life, and I’ve never once heard of “Shit Hyde”. That’s not to say it doesn’t exist, but I’m just highlighting how rare these dishes can be even in their country of origin.

There was one very clear elephant in the room, though oddly not on a sandwich or kebab.

I’m not even Australian and I’m very confused how it compares to the rest of this list. And it’s like even the only vegetarian dish looks weird.

Seriously Vegemite on toast is fucking delicious and is eaten by millions of people a day. Who the hell knows who eats that crap on this list.

Some of these entries are so messed up and there’s a cheeky Vegemite that doesn’t hurt anyone, feels wrong.
