Sometimes you look at food and wonder: is it really edible? Increasingly, you can find outlandish canned food that not everyone dares to include in their diet. Manufacturers boldly mix beetles, meat, worms and other products and put them on store shelves.

We have collected the strangest canned food from around the world, dare you try it?

 

1. Burger

Now it’s not enough to try a classic burger – you also need to buy a canned one! It is difficult to find it, it costs more than usual, it looks intimidating. A soft bun, a strange-looking filling, and a slimy patty are what canned burger manufacturers offer.

2 Possum Pate

Such canned food can be found in America, because most of the opossums live there. 

3. Scorpions

 

If instead of the usual sprat you get a black creature with two tentacles from canned food, you should know that these are just canned scorpions. They are pre-fried with spices, as a result of which you can not be afraid of scorpion venom. Canned scorpion tastes like seafood.

4. Silkworm larvae

Asians are crazy about larvae - they are served raw, fried, boiled and baked. Canned silkworm larvae with spices, ginger and seasonings - so tastier. Most of all, such a dish resembles crab meat - both in taste and in price.

5. Worms

 

Insects and their larvae are so rich in protein that some manufacturers have chosen to sell them in canned food. Bamboo worms are especially popular in Thailand as the purest source of protein. They taste like snacks or chips - so you can take a jar instead of popcorn for the movie.

6. Pig brains

It seems that people want to get the most out of pork - how else to explain canned pig brains? Moreover, they are cooked in milk sauce and often served with potatoes. 

7. Cobra

 

In Africa, you can buy canned cobra meat. Such a delicacy will cost $ 15 per 200 g, but in Africa they believe that it heals from everything in the world. Tastes like regular chicken.

8. Sheep entrails

Minced sheep entrails are mixed with spices and onions. The resulting mass is stuffed into the sheep's stomach and cooked, after which it is preserved. It sounds intimidating, but it looks like an ordinary stew.

9. Crocodile meat

 

In the same way that cattle are bred in our country, crocodiles are bred in Asia. Production is almost waste-free: the skin is given to seamstresses, and the meat is preserved in curry sauce. It turns out satisfying and nutritious.

Would you like some canned crocodile for dinner with potatoes?

10 Shark Fins

 

Everyone is already used to the phrase “canned fish”. But few can imagine canned shark fins. And in vain: they are rich in protein and useful substances. Canned them mixed with crab meat.
