Results: 35 Weirdest Foods From Around the World (Part Five)

Marmite (or Vegemite) – UK, New Zealand & Australia - Made from yeast extract, a by-product of brewing beer, Marmite (or Vegemite as it's known as in Australia) is essentially the slurry from the bottom of the barrel that most breweries just throw away. It's a sticky brown paste with a concentrated, salty flavor that's usually spread on toast or eaten with cheese. People are either 'love it or hate it'… I hate the thought of it. Have you ever had this food?

Pickled Egg – UK - Pretty much summed up in the name, this is a hard boiled egg that's been left to go cold and stuck in a jar of vinegar. The sour liquid penetrates right to the heart, meaning the powdery yolk in the center is uncomfortably sour. I'm yet to be sold on these. Have you ever had this food?

Bird's Nest Soup – Southeast Asia - This Asian delicacy is made from the nest of the Swiftlet bird, who instead of collecting twigs for its bed, builds it out of its own gummy saliva, which goes hard when exposed to air. Usually built high up on cliff faces, harvesting them is a dangerous business and many people die each year. Whether its 'rubbery taste' is worth this human sacrifice, I've yet to find out. Bird spit - enjoy! Have you ever had this food?

Fugu – Japan - Made famous by The Simpsons, this little delicacy has the potential to be deadly if prepared incorrectly. As such, only chefs that have been drilled to perfection are allowed to handle the serving of the pufferfish. Still, it's said to make one mean little sashimi dish. Have you ever had this food?

Steak Tartare – France - French waiters will ask foreigners over and over again if they know what they are getting themselves into when ordering this steak. It's made up of good quality raw ground beef, served with onions, capers, raw egg and seasoned with Worcester sauce and other condiments, usually with rye bread or fries on the side.
