1. Durian
Duran is known throughout Asia as the king of fruit because of it size and weight. It can weigh up to 3 kilograms and be 30 centimeters long and 15 centimeters wide. However, Duran has a specific odor that has been compared to one of gym socks, strong cheese, rotten onion etc. You will either love it or be disgusted. Therefore in Asia it has been forbidden for passengers to carry this fruit with them into the public transport. Its looks may deceive you, because it has been proven that consuming alcohol while or after eating this fruit can be deadly. It makes alcohol processing almost impossible for the liver.
2. Monkey Brains
This Chinese delicacy will not only make your stomach turn but can also be potentially dangerous for your health. If you eat monkey’s brains you might get infected with a disease similar to mad cow disease. Your brain would in that case turn to squish. Not to talk about the animals’ rights.
3. Thai Bat Soup (Grilled Chinese Rat)
You would probably want to talk to the cook before ordering. If improperly cooked, you could end up dead. The meat of bats and rats can contain parasites or pathogens that can make you seriously ill. In the end you can always blame the chef.
