Perhaps the best part of going on holiday is trying out the new dishes and savouring the fresh flavours of a new culture. We've rounded up some bold choices to try that you'll be sure to remember for years and years to come.
Kopi Luwak: On the islands of Sumatra, Java and Sulawesi on the Indonesian Archipelago you can find one of the finest, and most expensive coffees in the world. However, even those prepared to sample the most unusual dishes on the menu might find the idea of this coffee rather distasteful. The drink is made from the excrement of a native cat-like creature called a Luwak. Bon Appetite!
The puffin organ is said to be a "tastier, fishier chicken or duck". If the idea of eating it raw does funny things to you then you may (or may not) be pleased to hear that it is found on menus across the country in smoked, grilled or pan-fried varieties.
Haggis: Perhaps the above has been too much for you to stomach, but how about trying a sheep's? Yes, that's stomach of course. Despite popular belief, haggis is not a wild woodland animal and is in fact a peppery tasting organ of our favourite woolly friend. Served with oatmeal, spices and fried onions, it's well worth having a taste of this Scottish staple.
Snake wine: Every unusual meal requires something to wash it down with and in Vietnam the drink of choice for the adventurous is snake wine. This bizarre drink is produced by putting a venomous snake inside a bottle of rice wine and then leaving it to ferment for months. This allows the poison to dissolve into the highly alcoholic wine rendering it harmless to man. This unusual drink is said to have medicinal purposes. Try it if you dare!
