Tasty bugs and other delicacies...






This trend started few years ago, I guess, with celebrities eating strange things and  bugs in an Australian Jungle for a TV show, but today, visiting Selfridges (the biggest department store in Oxford Street, London) something called my attention, a shelf full of edible insects, bugs and odd things.






You can find there,many delicacies like this photo below : Thai Green curry Crickets.



Civet coffee, also know as Kopi Luwak, is the most expensive and coveted gourmet coffee in the world. But it comes from a very unusual source, the droppings of Asian Palm Civets, a cat like animal native to Indonesia.

Yes, that's right, Indonesian cat poo, £25 for 150 gr.


Monkey Picked Tea is a wonderfully refreshing brew that has been hand - or rather paw - picked by monkeys!






and Scorpion Vodka.
Isn't it delicious!
