Hi there everyone! I just watched the show called Weird Food Around The World and i'm inspired to write about the weird food that'll make you cringe and shudder while looking at it.

5 Weird Food Around The World

1. Chicken's Feet - East Asia, Caribbean, South America, South Africa: This food, is actually really     good. but some people find it gross and odd. Also because it looks like it came straight out of a horror movie, doesn't make it any better. But actually, for us Asian, this food is really delicious. Well at least for those who enjoy eating messy with their hands it does.

2. Haggis - Scotland: So, this food looks a fruit to me. or a vegetable meat ball. But this food is actually made from Sheep's heart, liver, and lungs minced and mixed together with onions, oatmeal, salt, spices, and suet cooked in sheep's stomach. Whoever invented it should love sheep very much.

3. Tuna Eyeball - Japan: I know Japanese people like to eat fish raw or cooked. But this? Well apparently these eyeball tasted like squid or octopus. And they said it's pretty tasty also. These eyeball is also said to be high in protein. Hmmmmm.... dare to try one?

4. Black Pudding (Blood Sausage) - Africa, America, Asia, Europe: To me, this sausage looks like a burnt sausage. And from the name blood sausage, sounds pretty terrifying. But some (or many) people find it tasty. It's made of Congealed blood cooked with natural flavoring, suet and breadcrumbs which later is stuffed into a sausage skin. Yum?

5. Millenium Egg - China: From the name, you would think that this egg would taste like a rotten egg (if you have tried one) or smell like a rotten egg. But i promise, this egg doesn't taste and smell rotten. Actually, it taste pretty good. Like a hardboiled egg. But... the looks is something else, the yolk is dark green or black even. While the supposed to be white egg turns transparent brown and has a jelly like texture. It's perfect with Congee!

So, according to the legendary accounts, Coffee was discovered by the Oromo People in Africa, though there was no information in which part of Africa did this lovely plant was discovered and it was used as a stimulating food in the 17th centuries. The earliest record of Coffee drinking was back to the 15th century, in one of the Muslims monasteries around Mocha in Yemen. It was here in the Arabia that Coffee was first roasted than brewed. From the middle East, Coffee then spread toward Italy then to all of Europe. During the World War I, the Dutch Colonial brought the Coffee seeds to be planted in Indonesia.

Coffee, which comes from berries, was originally eaten, when the Oromo People discovered it. the used to mix the berries with animal fat and formed an edible balls. it was also known as the 'Muslim Drink' as the first brewed coffee was brewed in Arab. And the first person to invent instant coffee was called George Washington (no, not George Washington the president), he was a Belgian lived in Guatemala and invented instant coffee in 1906 (thank god for his invention yes?).


I feel rather Guilty if i share this article of Caffeine without warning you guys about the side effects of it. So, some of you may know, that when you drink coffee, you body starts to ignite again. Well that's half right, when you consume Coffee, the caffeine gets your body to work out adrenaline so that you will feel our heart racing and your eyes more awake. That, my friends, is the fun part. The serious part is, when you consume TOO MUCH coffee, your body will starts to tremble and you might get a little bit dizzy. That's because the adrenaline in your body is working too much that your heart race increases. And some people even have a heart attack because of it. The only way to prevent this kind of things is to minimize your coffee consumption, or just order a decaf coffee.

So, that is all fro me today guys! Hope you guys find this article useful. tell us about what to write next on the comment section. Don't forget your cup of Coffee today! have a great day, and i'll see you next time!!
