7 Asian Delicacies

Details here.

But in brief, the list is (in reverse order, like in the link):

  1. Bee larvae
  2. Fried spiders
  3. Snake blood
  4. Fried rats
  5. Bird’s-nest soup
  6. Kopi luwak
  7. Monkey brains

Now, I can vouch for just about every item on the list except for monkey brains. Cecil has already reported that one is almost certainly an Urban Legend; see here. And I personally have never seen them served or heard of anyone eating them. So I think the list’s compiler was duped regarding that item.

But the rest are legit.

Lots of weird stuff. I’d try all but the monkey’s brain though. Probably tasty.

Bird’s-nest soup is a bit controversial. Chinese especially seem to revere this dish, and local entrepreneurs have been known to instigate mass bird slaughters to get to the nests.
