That sounds like something I would like very much.

For me baklava is number one on my gross delicacies list - sticky and sickenly sweet. I know many people love it but just the sight of it makes me feel ill.

Yum would have to be these little sago coconut puddings that I ate in Thailand. They came in little individual banana leaf cups served with different fresh fruits... delicious.

Weisswurst. Lukewarm sausage that looks like an old school dog shite is just wrong.

Those are sooooo good. Very popular in the States with a spicy mayo dip.
Onion-licious!

ever tried eating something gross and yet yummy at the same time? It's like being in a reality show, going to eat or not but ends up eating it coz uf the fear to be eliminated. 'Balot' is one you've to try. It's a duck egg. They gather the eggs before it gets hatched and boil it like boiled eggs. Eat it with salt and/or spiced vinegar. I suggest you try it with closed eyes. It's not that bad really.

I have eaten everything on this list... appart from SurströmmingI think. Although I ate pickled herrings in Norway... they didn't smell that bad though.

Norway has a thing where they get a fish, a salmon, and wrap it in some leaves, and bury it. Once its gone nice and rotten, they dig it up, and eat it, Gravlax its called. Grave Salmon I suppose.
And you wanna smell it. Mother of God.

The Norwegians put all sorts of food in toothpaste tubes too. Including food that really doesn't belong in toothpaste tubes.

I ate chili peppers dipped in chocolate. Not bad. I ate chocolate wrapped in prosuitto... and steak tartare all in the one meal.

Koreans eat some fairly hectic stuff. I managed to get most of what was given to me down, including a spikey gelatinous yoke that looked a bit like a sex toy. They sprinkle these tiny little fishies on food... whole fishies. Loads of them, little eyes looking at you and everything.

Speaking of good crunchies, oh man, I want churros and chocolate.

Wah! I just typed 'fried guinea pig' into google images.

Did you have that in Peru?
