Dragonfruit
Known in English as “dragonfruit”, this odd looking fruit grows on a vine-like epiphyte cactus indigenous to the tropical regions of Mexico and Central America. High in anti-oxidants, the white pulp of the fruit is studded with scores of tiny black seeds. It is consumed by scooping out the fleshy interior, or by liquefying it with water and sugar or honey as a beverage.
Strange Meals
Balut
Balut is a duck egg that has been incubated until the fetus is developed, and then boiled alive. The bones give the eggs a uniquely crunchy texture.
They are enjoyed in Cambodia, Philippines and the fifth and seventh levels of hell. They are typically sold by street vendors at night, out of buckets of warm sand.

Birds Nest Soup
Bird's nest soup is a delicacy in China. The edible birds' nests are created by a few different species of swift.
Instead of using twigs, the nests are created with the birds' saliva. When the nest is dissolved into water, it turns into a gelatinous texture which creates a soup.
The nests have high levels of calcium, iron, potassium and magnesium. They also have been shown to aid digestion, improve focus, and benefit the immune system.

Live Octopus Legs
You probably think eating squirming octopus legs would be hard to digest. It can seem cruel to the bystander, especially when the octopuses wrap themselves around the diner’s chopsticks in an attempt not to be eaten.
Haggis
Haggis is the traditional dish of Scotland. It most commonly contains sheep’s ‘pluck’ (heart, liver and lungs), onion, oatmeal, spices, and salt. After this is all mixed together, the dish is stuffed inside the sheeps stomach and cooked for three hours. YUM!
