World's "Weirdest" Foods

Sympatico columnist Theresa Albert has compiled a list of various "weird" foods from around the world.

But what exactly constitutes as weird? What right do we have to call cultural food weird when we're eating steroid filled chicken, with it's bits and bones mashed up into pink goop, bleached with ammonia and artificially dyed and flavoured? This, ladies and gentleman, are your chicken nuggets from that fast food joint you love so much.

Perhaps we're too Eurocentric in our views regarding other cultures. There seems to be some sort of superiority complex taking effect when we look at the feats of other cultures, and we somehow end up thinking that ours is ultimately better than there's.

No, this food isn't weird (save for the human breast milk cheese which was only made to create a point), it's just unique to us. Us in this very globalised society.

Maybe it'd be better if the title were Food from Around the World instead.
