What dishes have become infamous for their controversial flavors, ingredients and preparation methods? Check these out.1. Fried Spiders – Cambodia
When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. By this logic, if life hands you a country full of terrifying spiders the size of a human palm, throw a little oil in the wok and fry them up for dinner.
2. Haggis – Scotland
Stuff a sheep’s heart, liver, and lungs into the sheep's stomach with some onion, oatmeal, suet, spices and salt, stand back and wait for a few hours, and viola! You have haggis.
3. Natto – Japan
This smelly, slimy, fermented soy bean dish is typically consumed for breakfast over rice. Natto typically comes in to-go cups comparable to the iconic Styrofoam Ramen noodle container.
4. Kutti pi (goat fetus) – India
This dish, pronounced ‘cootie-pie’, is anything but adorable.
5. Fried-brain sandwich – St. Louis, Missouri
Don’t think you’re going to get away with your weird food, America! This sandwich features thinly sliced deep fried calves’ brains between two heavily battered hamburger buns. Since the rise of mad cow disease, this specialty burger has dwindled in popularity, forcing some restaurants to switch the primary ingredient to piglet brains.
6. Turducken – England
Gluttony at its finest, the turducken is quite literally a de-boned chickened stuffed into a de-boned duck stuffed into a deboned turkey. This culinary feat originated in 18th century England.
