Fried Spiders in CambodiaĪnother creepy crawly that people love fried and seasoned are spiders. I myself did not try it because all the bugs and insects creep me out but I’ve heard fried grasshoppers being described as those hollow popcorn skins you sometimes find in the bottom of the bowl, except it’s a little bit juicier when you bite into it.

The grasshoppers are often deep-fried and then tossed in a mixture of chili powder, black pepper powder, and salt, and are considered a delicious evening or late-night snack.

There are streetside food carts filled with grasshoppers that people buy by the bucket and eat as a snack as they walk around. In Thailand, you’ll find grasshoppers being served around every corner – literally. We’ll start off with a couple of bugs but the dishes mentioned in this article are going to include a lot more than a few spiders.Ģ2.1 Short infographic about Weirdest Foods From All Around the World: Grasshoppers in ThailandĪlright, I think that by now everyone’s heard of grasshoppers being served in countries all over the world so it’s probably not that surprising. You don’t have to try anything you don’t want to, but at least dishes made from stink bugs or starfish won’t surprise you and catch you off guard. Consider this article to be a PSA on some of the weirdest foods in the world so that you don’t act shocked, or worse, rude when you come across it.

Having a nenek teach me how to prepare the laksa or laughing with the strangers I shared the meal with in India have all molded me into the person I am today and it’s one of the things I most appreciate from my travels. Though the delicious tastes and flavors have stayed with me well after my trips have ended, it’s the memory of how happy I felt in those moments that I really reflect on. I’ve had laksa that warmed my soul in Malaysia, shared a platter of biryani with strangers in India, and fried my own fish in Ghana. That being said, McDonald’s all over the world reflect the country they’re in and have unique items on the menu which I always make a priority to try but it definitely wouldn’t be my go-to my entire time trip. I mean who wants to pass up all of the spices and flavor in Phillipino cuisine just to eat McDonald’s. There’s nothing better than being in a new place, interacting with the locals, and feasting on a meal you may have never come across had you been back home. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: one of the best things about traveling to different countries is all of the different foods you come across.
