The three strangest foods in the world
Let's go togheter to the discovery of world's strangest foods, feeders to be eaten really need great courage:
Snake blood is a liqueur beverage obtained with rice wine that is allowed to ferment along with snakes, sometimes even scorpions, turtles and other poisonous insects.
But beware: not a snake any! It must necessarily be a poisonous one! In fact, the snake venom is denatured from the ethanol present in the alcohol and releases all its therapeutic properties.
Rather than drinking it while sipping quietly, the most daring can try the tick, or the "shot" if you prefer: it is prepared by pouring blood into the glass with alcohol (or rice wine) the serpent's blood.
Snake fluids are mixed in wine and consumed immediately; The shot is prepared by engaging the snake along its belly and draining the blood directly into the drink. Of course Vietnam must have the coolest bartenders on the planet!
The Casu Marzu is a sheep cheese. It's ok you'll think, but the particularity of this cheese is its production process. In fact, Casu Marzu is produced thanks to an invaluable help from ... insects.
In fact the Piophilia Casei places the eggs inside the cheese.
The larvae that come into it feed on the cheese itself and develop inside, transforming it into a soft cream that matures for a period of 3 to 6 months.
At the end of this period, larvae have dropped considerably in number (better not wonder what they did) and so the cheese form is "open", removing the cap and tasting the soft cream gently given by our insects!
I've never seen anything more gruesome in the world. The Balut, literally "wrapped", is an egg, usually duck or hen, fertilized, so waiting to hatch to give birth to a chick or little duck ... And instead no, because somebody had the nice idea of boiling it just before the hatch.
After collecting fertilized eggs, they are exposed to the sun to favor their development. After about 7 days they are tested in backlight to check the progression of the embryo. If they contain, they are incubated for another 8 days.
Just think that there are two ways to consume them: in the Philippines they prefer to bake the egg before 17 days, when it is still tender and the skeleton has not formed.
In Vietnam and Cambodia, wait 20 days, when the skeleton, including the beak and the paws, has almost developed.
And think it's even considered a delicious dish and served in the most exclusive restaurants ... well, de gustibus non disputandum est!!!!
Good! Very good i like your recipe!! Let me try @musclenerd
