Nothing comes near to a table full of good food. The mere smell can take you to places. Delicacies get their name for a reason and no matter in which way you cook them, the taste remains sky-high. However, there are few in the list which are definitely exotic, but are dangerous at a similar level. One bite and you might just be facing judgement whether to be sent to hell or heaven.
Here is a list of 8 delicacies existing around the world that quite frequently find away to your table, but are actually dangerous in their natural forms. Then again, if processed correctly, these are food that will remain unparalleled to any other dish you ever had. Bring out your notebook and start jotting down.
- Potatoes
Don’t go crazy yet! The vegetable itself is not harmful but its stems, sprouts and leaves are. It contains Glycoalkaloids which can cause diarrhea and cramping at aminor dose and coma plus death at major levels.
- Tuna
How many sandwiches have you already consumed? Well, a dish of Tuna is danger-free if the fish had swum in safe waters. But, it has a tendency of absorbing mercury that is detrimental to human health. It either kills you or makes you lose your sanity. No need to doubt your friends yet!
- Cashews
The raw ones will kill you just like that. So, the ones you buy from stores are actually steamed to make it edible. Raw cashew contains urushiol which can cause fatal allergies. So, never pluck one from a tree and have it directly.
- Fugu
Probably the most consumed poisonous food. Fugu is a Japanese delicacy made from puffer fish. It contains lethal levels of tetradotoxin that is 1,200 times deadlier than cyanide. Chefs are actually trained for years to prepare this dish, hence, a costly dish by all means.
- African Bullfrog
People in Africa lick their plates when this is served for dinner. However, the bullfrog is known to carry alarming levels of poison that can kill you in a matter of minutes. Kidney failure happens at small doses, but the meat is tasty, no doubt.
- San NakJi
Korean delicacy containing raw octopus. Just served with sesame oil, the poor creature may still be alive when served on your plate. Reason being, every tentacle has its own brain and can move around as you swallow it. This is dangerous but doesn’t keep people away from having it.
- Cassava
A tropical vegetable in Africa, Cassava contains considerable levels of cyanide. Its juice finds use in a drink known as piwarry, which again, is a delicacy in those regions. If you have to die, a few decent bites of this vege is enough.
- Ackee
The fruit from Jamaica is rich in protein and vitamin. It’s mind-blowingly tasty when fully ripe, but if consumed before that can drop your glucose levels by alarming levels and give you “Jamaican Vomiting Sickness”. You will literally be sick to death.
Then there are hamburgers with extra cheese. These kill you of obesity. Be aware and enjoy food in its safe form. Do you have anything else to add to this list?
