Benny's diet is very specialized, consisting mainly of the interior of Ramy nuts, nectar from the Traveller's Palm tree, some fungi and insect grubs. He is also known to raid coconut plantations, and has been seen eating lychees and mangoes, which are also plantation crops.

6 Most Terrifying Foods in the World

Ugh. Don't read that article unless your stomach is strong enough to handle it. Mine wasn't.

They got Balut, but how could they miss 1,000 Year Old Eggs?

If you like to see an American traipse the globe eating weird food, check out Bizarre Foods on the Travel Channel. The guide is really into the food, it's not for shocks like the article. He liked balut.

try weird meat, it is unbelievable: http://www.weirdmeat.com/

I think the most disturbing dish there was the live giant clawed shrimp that has to be first soaked in alcohol to make it slow - otherwise it would eat you!

Oh, and Balut is eaten on weir meat repeatedly - aparently there are different grades, depending on the age of the embryo. I guess everybody has its own balut preference...

And that stuff is supposed to be scary as to be not edible?
If people can eat stuff like Balkenbrij (local delicacy) of which the recipe changes depending on the remains left behind after the butcher has had a go then that should be edible as well.

Also, they got one thing wrong--escamoles are actually pupae, not the eggs. Eggs are much smaller.

I'll quit being pedantic now :)

Oh bug girl! There you go again with all that pedanacism! Am I being pedantic by saying that I don't know what pedantic means? Either way, keep the comments coming!

Ah Lutefisk, popular method of Norwegian Immigrants to atone for their sins.

My brother, father, uncle and cousins have had this now for the past two years. First Grilled and served with clarified butter. Had a texture like dried rubber cement and a notable fish flavor.

The following year it was served in the traditional style; boiled until transparent. Somewhat more edible, (I.e. I could swallow it) but oh god the smell!
