Ten National Delicacies

While on vacation this next year, if you visit any of these exotic locales, be sure to try the National Dish. Remember, you are what you eat.

10. Khachapuri, the traditional cheese pie of the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. In 1995, authorities closed down a bakery whose specialty was Khachapuri when it emerged that the pies were baked in the Tbilisi morgue.

9. Durian fruit, whose fragrance is identical to that of a rotting corpse. Enjoy this while you visit Southeast Asia.

8. While in the Netherlands, make sure you try the salted horsemeat sandwiches.

7. In 16th century England it was very common to find Lark's tongue on the menu.

6. Monkey's toes can be found on sidewalk cafes in Indonesia.

5. In Mongolia, sample the boodog, a goat that is cooked inside a bag made from the goatskin. It will either be barbecued over an open fire or cooked with a blowtorch.

4. Desiccated petrified deer penis can be found in outdoor markets in China.

3. Rat meat sausages are a delight in the Phillippines.

2. The Ecuadorean G-Force! Fried, roasted, or boiled guinea pig.

And 1. My personal favorite from the Central American country of Belize- cena molida. The primary ingredient is roasted, mashed cockroaches.
