Either way, it is not a difficult task to achieve because the world is full of extremely strange and bizarre foods.

    #12 is incorrect. There are regional variations on "drunken shrimp" in China. Not all of them are consumed raw. EDIT: okay, since y'all seem to think I'm talking out of my áss, here are my sources: #1 - my ex whose parents are Chinese immigrants from two different areas (Taiwan and the northern coast) who have different regional preparations for this dish. #2 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drunken_shrimp "Drunken shrimp, also known as drunken prawns, is a popular dish in parts of China based on freshwater shrimp that are sometimes eaten cooked or raw." - "For example, the shrimp are sometimes soaked in alcohol and then cooked in boiling water rather than served live, and in other recipes cooked shrimp are marinated in alcohol after they are boiled."

    Was in Vietnam recently and was standing on a street full of local vendors thinking, "What is that awful smell!?" (Sewer/death). Turns out the vendor next to us was selling durian fruit. It is truly terrible. Also saw a sign in a hotel room: Customers who bring durian into the room will be fined $20 for the extra cleaning required.
