BLACK PUDDING
Also known as blood sausage is commonly eaten around the world, it is made from animal blood (mostly pork), animal fat, Oats or any other ingredients as desired is often grilled, baked or boiled.

How did the white make it sound so yummy, cause the only time i heard of blood pudding was when someone said when he was younger, his family was so poor that they ate blood pudding (i’ve forgotten the yoruba name he called it), because they could not afford meat.

WASP CRACKERS, Japan
We have all heard of rice crackers, oats crackers and a host of others , but wasp crackers?. That’s one of the things the Japanese has dished out to the world…… A combination of rice and wasps.

The wasps are collected , boiled in water, dried and sprinkled in the crackers mixture.

So instead of your chocolate chipped crackers, you have WASPS!!!

CASU MARZU ,Italy

It also contains a high level of ammonia. Some natives eat it with the maggots, while others prefer removing the maggots before devouring.

Wonders shall never end…..
