When I travel, I try to taste the local cuisine and love to try things that I’ve never had before. Recently I tried haggis, which was outstanding. I’ve also had hakarl (fermented shark - not really my cup of tea, but glad I tried it) and balut (surprisingly tasty).

What have you tried? Anything that caught you off guard by how tasty (or not) it was?

    Chapulines (Crickets/small grashopper type things) in Mexico - Grilled as street food with a little lime just and chili - Very tasty indeed.

      I had them recently ground up on something, and I thought it was just tajin. With chili and zime zest, it basically ends up just a more savory tajin. Not sure I would have given them the chance if I knew what I was eating, lol
