Who wants to eat something that has faeces attached it, you ask? Well, Nigerians apparently do. The droppings of grass cutters are collected and used by people in certain parts to prepare soup. This is because of the belief that it is nutritious and makes the food smell great.
Cow brain is a delicacy for some tribes. The brain of the cow is used to prepare a special stew known as “Kwanya” and could make the faint-hearted ill. If you don’t have the guts, simply don't eat it!
Unlike the regular stew that goes with chicken, turkey, beef or fish, this one contains cow brains.
Nigerians aren't alone in this as Indians also use this for a meal called Maghaz or magaj. This dish is gravy served with brains from either a cow, goat or sheep.
Apparently, snakes taste like fish. They are well-seasoned, roasted or fried. People aren't afraid of the fangs and venom, neither are they afraid of the cold blooded slimy animal.
Which of these foods have you tried?
