Some creepy food options from around the world.
These eels writhing in a pail at a temple in Bangkok looked particularly unappetizing. One of the creepiest movie scenes I ever saw was in The Tin Drum where Northern Europeans went fishing for eels by dragging a horse’s head in the water – when they pulled out the gory head an eel crawled out of the eye socket. I haven’t been able to eat an eel since!
Snake oil! Or rather snake wine – I think you’re just supposed to drink the wine but munching on wine-marinated snakes is a possible option. (Vietnam)
The Laos diet is so protein poor that they will often eat rats for dinner…
Neighbouring Cambodia also has a protein poor diet that makes these gruesome spider snacks a tasty option at a meal stop on a Cambodian bus ride.
I might have to get used to the idea of eating creepy snacks. Rotterdam’s Het Nieuwe Instituut examines life in the future, where these wormy snacks would provide a cheap protein option. (Holland)
Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Creepy
Albatz Travel Adventures 
Superb job at meeting the challenge this week. I am shuddering as I type.
I was equally shuddering as I edited the photos!
uh, no more eating tonight…
Oh dear, I seem to have put a number of people off their food…
Bon appetit!
You’re the only one who hasn’t been put off their food – what a trooper!
I said “Bon appetit!” jokingly, I would have trouble if I had to eat any of that!
I wasn’t sure – I have a friend that will try ANYTHING! (And gives me grief for being so squeamish.)
I think I lost my appetite for at least a week…
Sorry to do that to you…
I have lost my appetite too…
oh dear…
Double yuk! SO glad we already had dinner. Ewwwww.

Oh wow. Not appetizing at ALL! I am not even sure I can identify all of that!
I gained a few pounds after I wrote my post on the Food of Normandy, but I lost them after writing this creepy food post…
Lol. That’s funny!
Check this post out if you are hungry…

I’ll eat them except the rats. Phew!
Actually, I kind of thought that the rats were potentially the best choice in this creepy luncheon, although the eels come a close second. In both cases I would have had to close my eyes though….
Bubonic plaque….eeek… creepy
Would you still eat unagi? 🙂
The idea for the theme is perfect – the food is, yeah doesn’t matter I’m not hungry… 😀
I’d like to think I have an adventuresome palette, but you got me with most of these… I have tried snake wine in China….I “enjoyed” your choices. 🙂
I had a taste of the snake wine as well (not bad!) but balked at chowing down on the snakes. I’d like to say that I really wanted to try the spiders but they were just too pricey. Basically everything here is creepy to start with and then when you add the thought of having it for dinner, well… Glad someone ‘enjoyed’ them!
