Maggot cheese
Maggot cheese, or Casu Marzu, is a traditional Sardinian cheese riddled with live insect larvae. The live insects are added to breakdown the cheese fats and make it soft and gooey. Some people clear the maggots from the cheese before consuming; others eat the cheese with the larvae still in it.
Hypercolor ice cream
A Spanish physicist has developed an ice cream that changes colour as it is licked. Called xamaleon, the frozen treat starts off a pale blue. Before it is served, a "love elixer" is sprayed onto the ice cream, which turns it purple. As it licked into oblivion, it turns pink. And best of all? It’s tutti-frutti flavoured!
Cat poop coffee
Kopi Luwak is a coffee made from the beans of coffee berries which have been eaten by the Asian Palm Civet (known as a toddy cat) then passed through its digestive system.

Live octopus
In Korea, Sannakji is a raw dish consisting of live octopus. The octopus is cut into pieces whilst still alive, drizzled with sesame oil and served whilst the tentacles are still squirming on the plate. Now that’s food for thought.
Alligator cheesecake
The main ingredient in this savoury cheesecake is alligator. The swamp monster is an alternative meat that is commonly used in Louisiana due to the commercial farming of the reptile in the southern US state.
Haggis
Haggis may look like the bag end of a bagpipe but it’s actually an edible Scottish tradition. The legendary highland delicacy is made up of sheep’s heart, liver and lung, minced with onion and mixed with oatmeal then traditionally simmered in the animal's stomach for approximately three hours.
