Foods from around the world (delicate stomachs beware!)

America is a melting pot of cultures, and although we definitely have all kinds of ethnic food available there are some I'm glad haven't caught on and become mainstream. This interesting article goes on a virtual tour around the world, bringing some of the strangest and grossest "delicacies" out into the light. For example, in Iceland a food called Hakarl is popular. It's putrefied shark meat. Putrefied means rotten...

Personally, I'm starting to feel a little queasy, and am so glad I don't have to worry about how many calories are in fried earthworms, animal brains, and blood soup. If you're looking for that "they eat what in Africa?" shock factor you won't be disappointed, but I think I need to go back to reading about whether broccoli or cauliflower has more vitamin C and how to stay motivated in my workout!
