Casu Marzu
Italians can definitely make a name for themselves when it comes to food, even if it means eating cheese that’s full of fly larvae. Casu Marzu comes from Sardinia and is made by filling pecorino, which is a hard cheese, with fly larvae. Cheese experts say you should eat it before the larvae die. It sounds strange to many people, but apparently it’s very famous, but illegal in the US
Fugu
Fugu is a Japanese delicacy that is almost banned in the US because it is very poisonous. Also known as pufferfish, its liver, intestines and ovaries contain tetrodotoxin, which is a deadly poison. Although not technically banned, chefs who prepare this delicacy must train for up to three years to obtain a licence to serve it. Although it is a highly poisonous dish, it is very expensive, and if you want to try it, there are only a few restaurants that serve it.
