so you know what you're getting into in this video. So growing up, my mom always told me you gotta try everything once baby, you don't have to eat
it if you don't like it, but you gots to try it. Apparently my mom was a sassy black woman. Anyways, that was good
advice because it got me to try things that I
normally wouldn't try, especially things like
sushi, which ended up being one of my favorite foods.
Unfortunately, no amount
of advice could get me to try these foods, you'll
see what I'm talking about. Here are the 10 weirdest
foods in the world. Fried brain sandwiches. Perhaps you'd like a nice
chianti with this one, Clarice.
Made from fried calves
brains, this dish is popular in El Salvador, Mexico, and
even the good old US of A. Apparently, brains have a mushy texture, and very little flavor,
so it's highly recommended to use lots of sauces to help flavor it. I have a question, how
disturbed is the person that came up with this dish? Like, for real. Whoever you are, you need
to just, like, lay off the zombie movies, because
they're influencing you a little bit too much.
It's a little bit unhealthy. Rocky Mountain oysters. But Matt, what's so gross about oysters? Well, as you can see from the picture, Rocky Mountain oysters
aren't oysters at all. In fact, that's just
the fancy name given to what they really are, fried testicles.
Taken from either a bull,
a buffalo, or a boar, these are popular in parts
of Canada and the USA. They're peeled, boiled, rolled in flour, and then deep fried. Oh, and they come with a
delightful cocktail sauce. (Soffs) Cocktail.
For real though, how does one go about procuring the materials needed to cook such a delicacy? You would have some
serious balls of your own to try and go grab some bull nuts. Sorry, Bessie, but I gots
to eat dinner tonight. This next one's called Balut. I, oh, this one.
Popular in the Philippines,
Cambodia, and Vietnam, balut is a boiled chicken or duck egg, with an almost completely
developed embryo. This is essentially their
equivalent of hot dogs, which is sold by street vendors. You know, I've been an
omnivore my whole life, but, like, this is the
closest I've ever come to wanting to convert to vegetarianism. Deep fried tarantula.
Oh god, no. That's it for me, I'm out. We're done, video's over. We gonna have to get
through this one quick.
Popular in Cambodia,
tarantulas are deep fried and eaten as a tasty treat. You can buy them
individually, or in a pile to eat like french fries. Okay, lets go to the next one. Frog sashimi.
It's not easy being green. That was a terrible impression. In Tokyo, raw, skinned
frog is a popular dish. And if that isn't fresh enough for you, some chefs will actually
cut open a live frog, and pass the still
beating heart over to you for immediate consumption.
Which is, believe it or
not, a popular delicacy in some areas. After that, uh, appetizer, the rest of the frog is
served in its entirety on a plate to you along
with some raw seafood. Yummy. Seriously though, who would
ever want a still beating heart? Other than that one witch
doctor guy from Indiana Jones.
Kali Ma. Kali Ma. Kali Ma. Da fuu? Hakaral Popular in Iceland, hakaral is made by gutting a Greenland or basking shark, letting it ferment for two to four months, after which it reeks of ammonia.
It's available all-year
round, and is often served as cubes on toothpicks. Aww really, just little bites? That's disappointing. I was hoping for a large
slab of ammonia smelling fermented shark meat. (Gags) Fugu.
Fugu is the Japanese word
for poisonous puffer fish. These fish are filled
with a poisonous toxin and only a specially trained
chef with years of experience can prepare it. Strangely, some chefs actually choose to leave a little bit of
the toxin in the fish, which causes a tingling
sensation on the lips and tongue. What's weird to me though,
is that this fish is reportedly really bland,
so why would you risk eating it, knowing that
you could potentially die, or at least swell up from the poison.
Uh, hey guys, I think he left
too much poison in the fish. Casu marzu Mmm, Matt,is that bread pudding? No, it's sheep's milk
infested with insect larvae. Yum! Found in Sardinia, Italy, translucent worms are added to the cheese to help promote fermentation. Why would anyone do that? What's most disturbing is
that some actually choose to brush off the bugs before
eating a spoonful of cheese.
Yeah, that's right, some
prefer to brush off the bugs. Not all. Oh god, I don't do bugs,
lets just keep it moving. Yak penis.
Well this one speaks for itself. Popular in Beijing,
China, this one's known as the dragon and the flame of desire. Or, as I call it, big, honking yak dick. Consuming this giant
piece of yak dick jerky is supposed to be good for
you, according to the locals, and costs hundreds of dollars.
What's really interesting is
this is not an exclusive dish. The restaurant that sells
is has animal genitalia in almost every one of its dishes. Here's another good question,
how does somebody become inspired to wanna cook animal penis, like, did someone at some point
say to the restaurant owner go eat a dick, and he
was like, hey ,good idea. Thank you.
And finally, tuna eyeball. Found in Japanese grocery
stores for about one US dollar, this come surrounded by severed muscles, and fish fat, and apparently
it tastes like squid. Which is weird, because,
I would have thought it tasted like tuna? Prepared by being seasoned and boiled, this is a very common dish with many fans. You know, out of all the
foods that I've shown you, this one doesn't even gross me out.
In fact, I'm cool with it. I just have a question, what the (beep) kind of tuna
has an eyeball that big? Do they have, like, giant mutant
tuna in Japan or something. It looks like they plucked
out Godzilla's eye. Damn.
Anyways, that's all for this video, guys. I just wanted to share those with you, and hopefully you weren't too disturbed. But hey, at least you
learned something, right? And I will see you guys next Saturday with a brand new video. Peace.

And if you've already done those things, then go out and get a bite to eat. I'm sure your appetite's
real high right now. You know, I'd probably
avoid, like, seafood. You know, or, yeah, just pretty much any food at this moment,
because you'll probably yak..
