Check this out. Red ants, their eggs and spices; how does that sound to you? It does sound abnormal right? Imagine stuffing ants in your mouth, alongside ant eggs.

Doh Khlieh:
Another interesting Indian meal is the Doh Khlieh from Meghalaya. It is almost an exact replica of pork and onion salad, with the only difference being the bizarre addition of an unusual garnishing. Wanna take a guess? Let me spare you the trouble. The Doh Khilieh is garnished with steamed pig brain. it does looks like something one should try it out. But who eats pig brain.
Frog legs:
This interesting piece of delicacy is part of the Goan and Sikkim cuisines . Made of battered and fried frog legs which are believed to be of great medicinal value by the Lepchas people in Sikkim. It is known to have cured dysentery and stomach related ailments. It is completely safe, and nice.

Baby Shark Curry:
The Baby star curry is a star dish of the Goan cuisine, which is prepared using various sauces. Goa is known for seafood menu but Baby Sharks are very small and difficult to catch from the deep waters, and this makes it a bit pricey.
