...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
