Duck Tongue – Nice flavour, very lean, not much meat (Dimsum, Hong Kong, China — Can have it in Toronto!)

Turtle Pudding – Not very tasty at all. It is very bitter, so maple sugar is served with it. Supposedly provides “long life” health benefits. (Hong Kong, China)

Jellyfish – Crunchy! Not very flavourful, needs to be served with sauce. (Hong Kong, China)

Snake Soup – The snake was hard to taste as it was minced, but the soup was delish. (Hong Kong, China)

Fondu Cheese Bagette – Too much cheese for me, fondue cheese is filled then poured into a hollow bagette crust (Street food, Appenzell, Switzerland)

Raclette – Yum, more crazy cheese dishes… this is a block of cheese, melted slowly at your table and as it melts, you scrape the melted cheese onto potatoes (Switzerland)

Horse Cold Cuts – Lean, no specific flavour (House Party, Switzerland)

Cold Cherry Soup – Not bad, very sweet & pink (Switzerland)

Blood Orange – Very very tangy delicious fruit, looks strange because it is an orange with a lot of red inside. Appearance is very true to its name. (Switzerland)

Bologna, Corn and Peas Pizza – This group of ingredients didn’t do it for me (So many different types of pizzas available, Venice, Italy)
