1. Fish and chip gelato, Australia
Would you like vinegar with that?

4. Fried tarantula, Cambodia
Who knew pest control could be so tasty?
5. Salted plums, China
They’ll keep you regular, alright. But what about your blood pressure?
6. Wasabi Kit Kat, Japan
The Japanese prefer their wasabi in chocolate bars.
7. Ants eggs, Mexico
Known as escarole, eaten in tacos. Strangely filling.

You can pop them like peanuts and they’re an aphrodisiac as well. What more could you want from a snack?
