..... Unusual items from around the world!
Canned Cheeseburger
This delicious cheeseburger come from a Swiss company. It is strange simply because of the pieces used to make the cheeseburger. I would be worried about the quality of the bread, cheese, and meat after getting this shipped across seas. For the price of $6 you can get a cheeseburger in a can, or you can head over to McDonalds and get 6 of them for the same price.
Canned Bird's Nest Drink
The Chinese have served bird's nest soup, considered a delicacy, for hundreds of years. It's made using the nests of swiftlets, or cave swifts. The nests are collected by hunters on precariously tall ladders and then dissolved into soup. Said to stimulate cell growth, raise libido and boost the immune system, these edible abodes are among the most expensive animal-food products consumed; they are rare, difficult to harvest and require a labor-intensive cleaning process. Don't feel like dropping the coin to get a taste of the cure-all nectar? Pop a tab on the canned bird's nest drink, and get your vitamins on the go.
Canned Silkworm Pupae
Literally meaning pupa or chrysalis, beondegi are popular Korean street snacks, often dished out by the cupful to eager passers-by. The stewed and seasoned silkworm treats come highly recommended as bar bites. Next time you crave a quick mouthful on the go, grab a can of these crunchy chrysalises.
Canned Tongues
Lamb tongues are definitely something that is not seen in many American grocery stores. The prices range depending on the brand, expect to pay around $5 for this can of tongues.
Canned Pork Brains
Did they think that the milk gravy would make them a little more appealing? If it said Pork Brains in tangy chipotle BBQ sauce, you may have a winner.
Canned Rattlesnake Meat
In some parts of the US, you can buy cans of genuine Rattlesnake meat, which tastes a bit like tough chicken/pork.
Canned Scorpion
Scorpions are a delicacy in most of Thailand. These are already cooked and they can be eaten whole without risk of poison from their venom.
Canned Whole Chicken
This canned chicken takes the canned-meat cake. The chicken is crammed into this 50-ounce can slides out with a generous portion of gelatinous goop, or rather, gravy.
