Weird dishes: are you game?


 Imagine having to eat a fertilised duck egg with a nearly developed embryo inside, or cows brains or even coffee beans made from poo. Believe it or not, these dishes do exist.

 Trung Vit Lon is a dish eaten in Vietnam. It is  a fertilised duck egg with a nearly developed embryo inside. Some people from the northern part of Vietnam prefer theirs mature, when the chick is old enough to have a beak and claws. Tacos de Sesos is a dish from Mexico. This is a tortilla filled with animal brains. The most expensive coffee beans in the world are made from Civet (cat like mammal) poo. These are very popular in South-east Asia.

Yes, people eat these dishes and they enjoy them. People travel all over the world everyday. Visiting different countries and tasting different food. Qeustion is would you be willing to taste these two dishes without puking?  How tough are you?
