France and those frogs legs, that is a myth. I live in France for 6 moths of the year and I have never seen those on offer anywhere. As for snails (escargots), you see those from time to time. And they are mad about their oysters. And what about the hundreds of different cheeses ?
China - abalone - expensive and disgusting. And I have probably eaten things I would rather not know what they were - it is hard to understand menus in Chinese 🙂 - this was at a time when McDonalds, Pizza Hut and mixer taps were a great novelty in Beijing.
Japan - my first sushi/sashimi experience at a time when eating raw fish was unthinkable and the only place in Europe you could have sushi were a counter by the food halls at Harrods in London. I only saw Japanese eating there....
Hawker stalls in Singapore - curried fish head anyone ?
Iceland - half a lamb's head at the deli - kept warm next to the fried chicken in case you wanted to grab one on the go !
Norway - lutefisk - dried fish softened in lye mix. Now that is an acquired taste. Or pan fried cod tongues - not as bad as it sounds though.
Cyprus and a dish at a mezé table that looked like spaghetti - they were intestines.
