1000 Ideas: Weird Food: Food That Makes You Say 'What Is That?!'

From fermented fish and bug-based snacks to glow-in-the-dark jellies and cursed-looking desserts, 1000 Ideas: Weird Food is a global tour of the bizarre, the stomach-turning, and the oddly irresistible. This book explores the strange corners of culinary tradition, culture, and curiosity-where nothing is off the table (literally). Whether it's a sheep's head stew from Iraq, cheese crawling with maggots from Italy, or mystery drinks that bubble and squirm, each entry dives into a dish that challenges the limits of what food can be.

Split into 20 delightfully twisted chapters, the book takes you from international street snacks and outlawed delicacies to monstrous meals and accidental inventions. Some you'll want to try. Some you'll regret reading about. All of them will make you ask, "People actually eat that?!"

Perfect for adventurous eaters, trivia lovers, travelers, and anyone with a strong stomach and a curious mind.
