Top 10 Weirdest Foods

5. Escamoles


Ants are generally considered pests in much of the world, but are surprisingly considered staples of the daily diet in others. For those that consider them pests, the thought of eating their eggs, Escamoles, is just plain weird. Interestingly enough, the larvae (eggs) of the Liometopum ant is considered a high-end food in parts of Mexico and beyond. Their off-white, lumpy appearance, and their rubber-like consistency(not to mention the fact that they are ant eggs) make for a true culinary oddity.

  1. Do you really think that animals choose the best berries ??
    The most important factor in coffee beans always will be soil.
    This coffee can be intrested because of production method I mean eaten and shi# by the animal. It may slightly affect for the coffee berries. The second most important factor will be a beans freshnes and many more. I tried Kopi Luwak from the five different sources and I could notice these mighty sweetness only when I tried Weasel Kopi Luwak from Vietnam. This coffee was the best one. I can only mentioned about the second one from Bali, was pretty intrested but had strong acidic taste. So not for me.
    If you would like to try this coffee from Vietnam here it is a link
