Pictured above are deep fried starfish, scorpions, and a seahorse. They're traditional street foods in some parts of China and some of the amazing exotic foods rounded up by When on Earth. Would you like to try deep fried guinea pig? How about stink bugs in a tortilla or bear paws?

The dish on the list that I really want to try is cobra heart. Yes, cobra heart! It's the heart of a cobra (hence the name) served in a glass of cobra blood and venom with a splash of vodka.

Strangely, the list includes haggis, which is a perfectly normal food that should not be surprising to anyone.
