Here at Munchachos HQ, we have been spending our summer curiously looking for inspiration for our latest munchables. Here are some of the craaaaaaaziest snacks we’ve found from around the world:
1. Starfish
Country of origin: China
Who knew these undersea creatures would make such an intriguing snack? You can practically taste the sea in them.
2. Horse Ice Cream
Country of origin: Japan
Around the world horse is often considered a delicacy, and so some ice cream shops in Japan have started selling their own brand of horse flavoured Ice Cream!
3. Ant Eggs
Country of origin: Mexico
Also known as Escarole, ant eggs can be used in a salad, or in filling for other foods like Tacos. Strangely filling…
4 .Chicken and Waffles
Country of origin: USA
Usually when we think of a delicious waffle accompaniment, we think of ice cream, bananas or maple syrup. However, in some places in the United States you can find waffles with deep-fried chicken, often accompanied by maple syrup, shredded cheese or chives. Chicken is to food what a pair of jeans is to fashion; it goes with everything!
5 .Stargazy Pie
Country of origin: United Kingdom
This is a very interesting type of pie found in Cornwall, in the UK. It’s made with baked Pilchard (a type of fish), potatoes, and eggs for a filling. It gets its unique name from the way the fish are places in the pie so their heads jut out and look at the sky. Often served with parsley as an added decoration.
