Christmas Dinner Just Got Bizarre

I took a tour of Christmas foods that are so bizarre, so utterly frightening that I wanted to let other people see how good they have it on Christmas. So hold your stomach and let's talk about a few of them because I will not add picture to this article.
Greenland- Kiviak is a seal skin stuffed with a few hundred birds, Auks to be specific. In go the beaks, feet, feathers and all. It is weighted down with a rock to push out air and left to ferment for months.
Philippines- Balut is a duck embryo boiled in the shell and eaten in the shell. Yummy!
Greenland- Mattak is whale skin with a layer of fat inside. The locals say it tastes like coconut.
Haiti - Anisette is a drink made by soaking the anise leaves in water and drank by the children there. Oh yeah, it's alcoholic.
China- Century eggs are quail eggs buried in ash and clay and left to ferment. They have a strong urine smell.
Sweden- Jalmust is a dandelion and burdock lemonade that outsells soda during the holiday season.
Japan- Shiokara is a marine animal cooked in its own fermented organs. I am getting hungrier.
Norway- Boiled lambs head. Boiled and salted and prized for the eyes.
China- Blood tofu is congealed pigs blood.
Mexico- Huitlacoche is the mold off of corn and eaten in quesadillas.
Viet Nam-Snake penis wine is rice wine with a whole venomous snake in the bottle.
Mexico- Escamoles are the larvae of ants that live on the agave plant. They look like large creamy rice on a tortilla.
Russia- Shirako is the seminal fluid of fish and may include the genitalia.
Southern Africa- Gonimbrasia belina caterpillars are baked in oil and popped in their mouths. The plumper ones contain the most juice.
Italy- Casu Marzu is a roll of cheese with insect larvae in it. Oh boy, cheese and maggots.
Cambodia- Take a tarantula, deep fries it in street vendors oil and mount it on a stick for serving. Luckily these are seasoned with peppers, salt and garlic.
South Korea- Baby mice whine, yeah, a bunch of dead baby mice in a bo
ttle of wine and they drink it as a health drink.
Norway- Lutefisk is cod fish marinated in lye for many days and looks like eating jellyfish.
South Korea- Sannakji is prepared right at your table. A live small octopus is sliced up and sprinkled with sesame seeds and wiggles all the way down your throat.
China- The ying-yang fish is deep fried and kept alive until it is killed by the diner on their plate.
Indonesia- Stink bugs just pop them in your mouth and give them a crunch.
Africa- Mopane caterpillars are sun dried and eaten as a crispy snack.
Iran- Khash is a slimy soup made of the stomach, feet and heads of cows.
Japan- Tuna eyes boiled and splashed with a hint of salt.
Scotland- Haggis is a sheep's heart, liver and lung stuffed into its stomach and boiled.
Iceland- Where Icelanders kill puffins, a cute little black and white bird with a red and yellow beak, and eat their hearts.
China- The penis of a yak is devoured for its health benefits.
Japan- Ikizikuri is a preparation of live sushi. A chef fillets the live fish in front of the diner who ordered it.
And for everybody everywhere, from the internet its Chocolate mint or white chocolate Pringels. I don't know about you, but I would love to see Anthony Bourdain sit down to this Christmas feast. These have to be some of the most awful concoctions of leftover animal parts that the devil himself dreamed up. I cannot call them Christmas fare.
