They are from Australia. These grubs appear as

dreamings in many Aboriginal paintings.

These grubs live about 60 centimetres below ground.

They can also be found under Black Wattle trees,

and are attributed as the reason why wattles die

within 10 to 15 years. The roots of the Acacia

kempeana shrub are another source of the grubs.

It’s a soup considered a speciality in Chinese cooking. This

is considered one of the most expensive foods that the

humans had eaten. The overexploitation of the nests of

these birds has put them in danger of extinction in many

places.

The poisonous scorpion sting is removed before

eating and unusual snack enthusiasts claimed its

medicinal value.

It is so rare to have a scorpion kebab in hand you

forget that it’s dead. It turns from green to black after

being fried. The tail is really hard and inedible. Once

it's in your mouth it sticks to the palate. They have no

meat, so their skin cracks in your teeth and it tastes

salty. It's impossible to eat everything.

One of the most popular dishes of Hungary consists

of boiled eggs floating in pig blood. Make dishes with

normal blood are extremely normally in cold

countries, for example in Sweden is customary to

make a reindeer blood cake and in China a duck

blood jelly.

In Poland is extremely popular make jellies perform

animal fat. The procedure is as follows: the fat is

removed from the foot or the ears, is left to cook for

hours with lots of spices, and then allowed to cool in

the refrigerator. The result is truly striking gelatine.
