Eating foods from different world regions is a pursuit appreciated by many travelers, especially when the food is exotic. Here are some examples of eastern foods considered exotic and their areas of origin.
Khash - Middle East
This delicacy consists of cow's feet boiled overnight, usually with other parts added to it, such as the head, and dried lavash, a type of flatbread that gives the broth substance. Typically, the meat and broth are served with peppers, radishes, and fresh greens, accompanied by vodka.
Shirako - Japan
Considered the male version of caviar, shirako is the sperm sac of a fish, typically the codfish, filled with seminal fluid. This Japanese delicacy is consumed raw or cooked, and many people like it for its smooth consistency.
Deep-fried tarantula - Thailand and Cambodia
Although it is one of the most famous street foods in Cambodia and Thailand, deep-fried tarantula is considered exotic by many. The zebra tarantula is tossed into a mixture of sugar, salt, garlic for added flavor.
