Cocaine Princess here....The lazy days of summer continue...
Due the overwhelming responses left on my last “list post” I have decided to post another list because I know how much you enjoy reading them....and because I'm having a slow week.
Today's list:
"10 Exotic Dishes"
A list of 10 unusual foods (from a North American perspective) you may eat when visiting
SARDINIA:
Maggot cheese also called Casu Frazigu which contains thousands of maggots.
NORWAY:
Smoked reindeer, part of the haute cuisine of the Sami people.
UKRAINE:
The dish of salo, or salted pork lard, is so popular, there are national festivals devoted to it.
CHILE:
Llam Charqui. Dried, salted llama meat, similar to beef jerky.
AUSTRALIA:
Finger lime. Bright pink citrus fruits in the shape of a finger. Are used in salad dressings and drinks.
TAIPEI:
Famous for its Snake Alley, one can find restaurants serving snakes in all kinds of sauces.
CHINA:
So many to choose from, so how about scorpions on a stick? Scorpions, impaled on a stick and dunked in oil.
JAPAN:
Tuna eyeball can be bought at the supermarket.
MOROCCO:
Goat dung oil. The oil consists of argan nuts taken from the excrement of a goat. The nuts are washed, roasted and the oil pressed out of them.
MADAGASCAR:
On The Amazing Race reality TV show, one eating challenge involved eating a plate of cows' lips (which still had hair, fat and teeth on them).
*****
For those who ridiculed me for liking pineapples on my pizza, hmm, it doesn't sound so gross now does it?
My loyal and dear readers it's finally F-R-I-D-A-Y!!
Whatever your plans are have a smashing weekend.-x
XOXOXOXO,

I can think of a grosser topping on a pizza than pineapple. Grilled octopus.
Anonymous at 2:28,
Grilled Octopus?
Smoked reindeer is actually rather tasty. And in my opinion a pizza isn't a pizza without pineapple!! Sometimes I just order a plain Margharita pizza with the extra of double pineapple.
I've eaten a few "interesting" things (blood pudding in Scotland; seal flipper stew in Newfoundland - which in my defense I didn't know until AFTER I ate it; rocky mountain oysters in California) but that is a list of REALLY gross foods!!
Hello I like your blog
Um... only the Finger Lime one sounded intriguing -- The others can stay in their country! HA!
Pineapples on pizza is Mr. R's favorite :)
I love Andrew Zimmern and Bizarre Foods -- he had some maggot cheese in India, and of course loved it!
LOL. The thought of smoked reindeer and scorpion was too much for my stomach. Yikes. Makes me think of that famous scene from "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." Haha!!!
What about escargo? I could never beleive I would eat it until I tired it once on a dare......damn those little snails cooked in butter and garlic were damn tasty.
