UGH! DO YOU REALLY EAT THAT?

Rotten fish, stinky cheese, a fruit that has been described as ‘eating first class custard in a sewer’. What possible attraction could these foods hold?

Apparently plenty.

Then there’s the ‘bits and bobs’ of various animals. And we’re not just talking sheep’s eyeballs, here. It seems some people are keen to sample everything edible (an some would say even things that, strictly speaking, shouldn’t be considered as fit for human consumption) regardless of what it looks or tastes like.

This article continues with details of museums dedicated to rotten fish and kim chi, a tripe eater’s club, and a range of other ‘delicacies’ you may have never thought of ingesting.
