10: BBQ Beetles
Crunchy, tasty treats with that tangy barbecue taste we all love.
9: RATS
Truly a classic. Rats can be served many ways, one of the more popular is boiled then lightly grilled.
8: ESCAMOLES
The larvae of ants harvested from the roots of the agave plant in Mexico. Considered a delicacy and sometimes referred to as “insect caviar”.
7: GRILLED SPIDER
A popular snack along the banks of the Tonle Sap. Just throw the tarantula on the grill and enjoy.
6: KOPI LUWAK
Coffee berries which have been eaten by and passed through the digestive tract of the cat-sized mammal called the Asian Palm Civet. Also known as…Poop Berries.
5: HASMA
Hasma is frog ovaries, or more precisely, the fallopian tubes of the hermaphrodite frog. Served as a delicious soup.
4: WATERBUG CHILI PASTE
Nothing says down-home chili like Asian waterbugs in paste form.
3: WITCHETTY GRUB
Australian grubs, ready to eat. An aboriginal favorite.
2: BABY TURTLES
“I like turtles.” But not enough to eat them live as recently seen on Survivor.
1: BALUT
The ever popular fertilized duck egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell.

GROSS
I’ve eaten that last one, the fertilized duck egg. Taste pretty good with some salt and pepper. I guess you just have to be introduced to it early on….
OMG, I saw the #1 last night on “Cooks Tour”
I swear I almost vomitted watching him eat that. And I swear after the camera turned he puked….
HURL..
Dude, rats are no good without ketchup… And Wee Mad Arthur catches the best.
that is so fuckin disgusting especially the baby turtles and the almost developed duck egg. u people have sick minds. wat if u were those animals u wouldnt have a life u kno y cuz u would have bn BBQd or GRILLED or FRIED or maybe even BOILED….. who would eat that stuff…..coooooome ooooon have u eaten it? and if u did, did u like it?
I’ve eaten Balut, It’s really not that bad. It’s a duck, someone’s going to eat it anyway, weather it’s a baby or full grown adult. I’m filipino and that’s part of my culture. It’s pretty good, I like it.
who the FUCK would eat a baby duck or a turtle? what the FUCK??? puke-o-rama.
man, after seeing the beetles.. i almost spewed all over the place !!!!! yukkkkkk.. all the stuff on here would be great for a banquet on ‘fear factor’ !!
well i didn’t like the rats, but i wouldn’t think the people who eat rats are sickos considering that enjoy an occasional balut, it’s all about the culture…..i was wondering about the turtles,,,so they eat the shells too?!
) ease up people 
Oh, come on now, balut isn’t so bad. I thought it was gross when I was a kid too but as I got older I started liking it. You all probably think it’s disgusting ’cause you stared at it for a while before eating it. If you did that, then duh, of course you’re gonna find it inedible seeing the baby duck’s beady little eyes and tiny beak.
It’s a culture thing. We like duck fetuses, and chicken intestines, etc. etc. So what?
To everyone who’s saying #1′s disgusting, it’s really not. My mom’s Filipino, thus she quite a bit growing up. No puking, no ‘EWWW!’. It’s just ignorance that makes you say it’s gross. :l
YAKHHHHHHH…………………….
I THINK THEY ARE FED UP BY EATING CHIKENS….
OMG……….. IF I WOULD HAV STAY HERE FOR LONG TIME I MAY PUKE…..
number 1 is not really gross. you just have to try it. it’s a delicacy here actually. no puking whatsoever.
come on,,,you cant comment on something that you havent even tasted…balut doesnt taste that bad,,,actually it tastes great…and its really nice…you just think its gross because you havent tried it…ignorance is never a reason to judge another culture….
those people eating half fertilized duck egg ………………………. just cruel
and also those turtle………………
there are plenty of good food like cakes like normal food!!!!!!!!!!!
