Most Bizarre Foods: 8 Dishes you have to see to Believe Snake Wine, Vietnam
Fancy some wine with a difference? A bouquet of snake with some snake blood notes perhaps? Snake wine is a bottle of rice wine with a venomous snake inside and has ‘medicinal purposes’, but is probably more useful for display purposes than to drink. The snake is left to steep in the rice wine for many months to let the poison dissolve in the wine. The ethanol makes the venom inactive so it is not dangerous, and snake wine supposedly has many health benefits. It has a slightly pink color like a nice rose because of the snake blood in there.
Kimchi, Korea
This spicy garnish is a traditional Korean favorite. You may be familiar with the popular side dish. You may even be wondering why this dish made the top ten most bizarre Asian foods. What you don't know about kimchi is that the spicy cabbage you're eating carries with it a unique zesty quality due in part to long periods of fermentation. That's right, kimchi is rotten cabbage. And any rotting dish that has managed to become as popular as kimchi makes our list.
Kopi Luwak, Indonesia
Kopi Luwak is the rarest, most expensive gourmet coffee in the world. Sounds divine right? It’s actually made from the excrements of an Indonesian cat-like creature called the Luwak. The Luwak eats only the ripest coffee cherries but its stomach can’t digest beans inside them, so they come out whole. The coffee that results from this process is said to be like no other, and the stomach acids and enzymes that perform the fermentation of the beans give the coffee a special aroma. Price? US$120 to $300 per pound.
Live Octopus, Korea
In Korea Sannakji is a raw dish consisting of live octopus. The octopus is cut into pieces whilst still alive, lightly seasoned with sesame oil and served immediately whilst the tentacles can still be seen squirming on the plate. Eating live octopus is a challenge not only mentally trying to get your head round eating something that’s still alive, but physically, as the tentacles stick to any surface they touch (the suction cups stick to your mouth or throat)
Casu Marzu, Sardinia (Italy)
This Sardinian cheese is a cheese with a difference; it’s riddled with insect larvae. “Casu Marzu” means ‘rotten cheese’ and is most commonly referred to as “maggot cheese”. The sheep’s milk cheese is basically Pecorino, which has had the larvae of the cheese fly on it. Fermentation occurs as the larvae digest the cheese fats, and the texture becomes very soft with some liquid seeping out. The cheese has to be eaten when the maggots are still alive because when they are dead it is considered to be toxic.
Balut, Philippines
A bit like with a Kinder Surprise, you certainly will be surprised to open these eggs, though not in the same pleasant way as finding a toy inside. You get to eat your chicken and your egg at the same time with Balut. In other words, chicken’s fetus!. These eggs are cooked when the fetus is anywhere from 17 days to 21 days depending on your preference, although when the egg is older the fetus begins to have a beak, claws, bones and feathers.
Fried Tarantulas, Cambodia
if you suffer from arachnophobia you probably don’t want to try eating these eight legged monsters. They’re not tiny little house spiders, they’re great big tarantulas and you can buy them in the streets of Skuon, Cambodia. They’re fried whole – legs, fangs and all. They cost only a few cents and supposedly taste delicious, as they are best plucked straight from the burrow and pan fried with a bit of garlic and salt. They’re supposed to taste a bit like crickets or scrawny chickens and are crispy on the outside with a gooey body on the inside.
Birds Nest Soup, China
You wouldn’t necessarily think a birds nest would be edible, but the Chinese use Swifts’ nests to make this soup, known as the ‘Caviar of the East’. Right now you’re probably imagining a nest made out of twigs and leaves, but Swiftlets make their nests predominantly out of saliva. It’s something in the saliva of the bird that makes it have this unique gelatinous, rubbery texture and it’s one of the most expensive animal products consumed by humans. A bowl of soup can cost around US$30 to $100 per bowl, whilst a kilo of nest can cost between US$2,000 and $10,000.
About the Show
Bizarre Foods
Chef, writer and culinary explorer Andrew Zimmern is back for another season of exotic food adventures. Bizarre Foods With Andrew Zimmern gives us a taste of the world's different cultures by serving up what the locals eat. Viewers this season get an even greater treat as Andrew experiences unusual food practices even he never knew existed.
In season 4, Andrew steps out of his comfort zone and truly tests his own limits. He really gets involved, sourcing and preparing his food while encountering extreme climates, rough terrain and off-the-beaten-path locations. Andrew finds meaningful connections to people and their cuisine, from the most remote corners of the earth to locations right in his own backyard. Even though he's exposed to strange and sometimes outrageous experiences, Andrew always appreciates the warmth and hospitality he receives from the people he meets. This season, Andrew visits San Francisco where he joins foragers for a locally sourced meal. He goes dumpster-diving with the "freegans," an alternative group that rescues unspoiled food, cooks it and serves it to the homeless. Far across the globe, Andrew travels to Syria, a country few Americans have seen, where he seeks out unusual foods and herbal remedies going back to biblical times. Whether it's brain tacos in Baja or bull penis soup in Bangkok, every place on the planet has its own unique cuisines to share. It's the balance between entertainment, reality and information that make Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern a show for everyone. Andrew's unique perspective and enthusiasm to try any type of food make it easy for the viewer to explore new worlds through his eyes. Whether he's drinking fermented mare's milk in Mongolia or eating pig innards in Tokyo, Andrew dives right in and encourages everyone else to do the same by sharing his favorite advice: "If it looks good, eat it!"

How to Consider the Factors when Planning Meals
Planning food ensures a balanced diet and saves time and money. If you have no inkling of planning food, read up the article which will expound the factors of food planning. Take into consideration Nutritional needs ‐ children, teenagers and elderly people have different dietary needs and thus require special diets. Nutritional needs vary with age, gender, size, lifestyle habits, occupation and health.
Consider the Appeal ‐ when planning a meal, it is good to include a variety of colors, shapes, flavors and textures. Using a range of ingredients and cooking methods will make the food more appealing. Examine your Time constraints ‐ When planning what dishes to cook, we should consider how much time we can afford to spend in preparing and cooking the dishes. Watch the Budget ‐ We don't need to spend a fortune to have a tasty and nutritious meal. Take your cooking skills into account ‐ Not all of us are master chefs, so we should cook dishes we can easily manage on our own. If we try to cook a dish that is too difficult, we may become livid when we are unable to follow the recipe. As such, the dish may not turn out right. Note if the meal is for an Occasion ‐ choosing dishes to suit an occasion is important. There are also practical reasons for considering the occasion. Preparing food that cannot stay fresh is not ideal for a picnic. Choosing the wrong food can even be dangerous to health if it is not packed properly. It may turn bad and cause stomach upsets. Know the number of Guests ‐ Factors such as age or occupation influence the types of food that a person needs. It is also important to take note of any special diet that our guests have. Consider the availability of ingredients ‐ Some ingredients are difficult to obtain in certain countries. When planning meals, choose dishes with ingredients that are easily obtainable. In addition, ensure that the ingredients are in seasons. Not only will they be easier to find, they will also be cheaper and tastier. If a particular recipe uses ingredients that are rare or unavailable, we can substitute them with commonly available ones.
