OBOZREVATEL offers readers to find out what strange and disgusting dishes can be found in tourist countries.

Turtoise jelly (Guilinggao)

This jelly is one of the traditional desserts in China. The dish is made from crushed tortoise shell and several types of herbs. Before serving, it is drizzled with honey or fruit jam.

Fermented herring (Surströmming)

Surströmming, or fermented herring, is a traditional Swedish dish that only the most daring tourists will dare to try. In addition to its unusual sour taste, the delicacy has a rather specific flavor - pungent and unpleasant.

True connoisseurs eat the dish straight from the jar. It is usually eaten with boiled potatoes, tomatoes, and onions.

Octopus ice cream

Ice cream with seafood is popular in Japan. However, not everyone is delighted with the unusual dessert. The reason is the specific taste: despite the fact that the octopus is thoroughly soaked in milk or green tea, the ice cream still has a strange flavor.

Wasp cookies (Jibachi Senbei)

Another popular dessert in Japan is wasp cookies. However, unlike the previous one, many locals love this delicacy. Wasp cookies are rich in protein and at the same time have a low price.

Blood pancakes

Many countries have their own recipe for this popular dish, and Finland is no exception. However, here, fresh blood is added instead of milk.

Maktak

A traditional Greenlandic dish made from frozen whale skin and lard, usually served raw. It has several layers: the skin, which tastes like hazelnut, fat, and a protective layer.

Akutak

The favorite delicacy of the Eskimos of Alaska and Northern Canada looks quite appetizing, but in fact it has a specific taste. Akutak ice cream is made from various fats: reindeer, walrus, salmon, and seal, as well as berries, herbs, and sugar.
