One of the best parts of travelling is trying out new cuisines – and our globe-trotting Travel Directors have tasted it all. Whether it\u2019s a unique delicacy or a special snack, they love diving into all the weird things to eat around the world – and there\u2019s almost nothing they won\u2019t try at least once! From deep-fried scorpions in Thailand to kangaroo in Australia to mac n’ cheese soft-serve in Canada, here are the weirdest foods our Travel Directors have encountered on their travels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I usually recommend the Rocky Mountain Oysters (breaded, fried, sliced bull testicles) on my Costsaver and Trafalgar trips that go through Cody, Wyoming and Silverton, Colorado, USA<\/a>. A local regional delicacy. Fun to see who will try them. Handlebars restaurant in Silverton and Irma’s restaurant in Cody. Taste like chicken. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>The Calgary Stampede<\/a> in Canada<\/a> is pretty famous for annual over-the-top foods. This year’s new entrants included cow tongue pizza, Korean squid ink corn dog, deep-fried Oreo mini doughnuts, pop rocks popcorn chicken, garlic and caramelized onion lemonade, honey habanero ice pops, flamin’ Cheeto fries, samosa poutine, glazed donut grilled cheese, deep fried strawberries, meal worm hot dog, mac n’ cheese soft serve ice cream…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>Boiled pigs trotters and snouts is an interesting food in Naples, Italy<\/a>. They serve it with fresh lemon wedges, in little refrigerated vans along the main streets of passing walking traffic. Surprisingly popular!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agnes tried fermented shark in Iceland<\/a> and shared her experience on Instagram<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>Germany<\/a>: Stuffed pig stomach – actually very good. In German, it’s called “Pf\u00e4lzer Saumagen”. Former chancellor Helmut Kohl was a big fan of it, coming from the area. He liked to treat foreign statesmen to it with varied reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Northern Germany, we have a dish called “Labskaus”. We love it – most others wouldn’t touch it – but they are wrong, of course. It’s herring, beef and red beets put through the meat grinder with mashed potatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>‘O pere e ‘o musso is a typical Neapolitan dish, with its name meaning “the foot and the muzzle” in Italian, which refers to its main ingredients: pig’s feet and cow snouts. ‘O pere e ‘o musso is usually sold as street food from carts, in the cities in Campania but also in other southern Italian regions. It is a sort of tradition to eat it during the celebrations for the Patron Saint of the different villages. In Sant’Agnello, it\u2019s the 14th of December.  Sorry to be “Furio” (the Italians will understand).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>For me, it was shima wasabi from Tasmania. I did not know that the “wasabi” in Australia<\/a> wasn’t wasabi at all. Check out their website<\/a>. Very interesting benefits, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most unusual food I\u2019ve tried would probably be deep-fried scorpions from a Thai<\/a> night market stall.  They were actually really good. Lots of chilli sauce can do that! The stall had other offerings, some of which were moving, but I had to draw a line somewhere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>Whale in Canada, snake in China<\/a>, kangaroo in Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Fowler
<\/strong>Cow stomach nerves in Italy and H\u00e1karl – fermented shark – in Iceland. You can taste it for weeks afterwards (not in a pleasant way). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
