While not necessarily KFC, but in some parts of the world deep-fried cow brains are considered an equivalent of sorts. A bizarre specialty throughout parts of America, the brain is heavily battered, spattered with hot sauce and served on hamburger buns. Staying true to their gastronomical roots, El Salvador and Mexico’s version utilizes the brains as taco and burrito fillings.

It’s not easy being green, especially in Tokyo. In select restaurants in the city, many consider eating the still beating heart of a frog a delicacy. In front of the lucky audience, a sushi chef cuts the frog open and passes the pulsating heart over to the patrons to consume immediately. The remainder of the frog is then sliced and served raw with seafood. Delicious!

Considering vegetarianism? Then head out to the Philippines, Cambodia, or Vietnam. There, you’ll find their equivalent of the hot dog: balut. Sold by street vendors, balut is a boiled chicken or duck egg whose fertilized embryo is nearly completely developed.

A common dessert in China, Hasma is yet another crazy frog dish found in Asia. This time, the main ingredient is a frog’s dried fallopian tubes that are served in sweet soups. As disgusting as it sounds, hasma is reportedly great for improved skin complexion as well as lung and kidney function.
