- Different cultures consider different foods to be delicacies or special foods eaten during celebrations. - What one culture sees as a delicacy, another may find unpleasant due to differences in tradition and culture. For example, Chinese make expensive bird nest soup while Japanese enjoy sea urchins and Australians eat locusts. A Central American tribe eats tarantula eggs. - The idea of eating insects, snails or spiders seems unpleasant compared to chicken or fish, but it is due to cultural traditions. Japanese eat seaweed but find cheese disgusting while Thais enjoy snakes and Brits eat eels but not snakes or squid like other Europeans. Cultural traditions define what foods each culture considers a delicacy.

There are over 200 different countries in the world. Often, a single
country contains many cultures.
Since earliest times, people al over the world have considered certain
dishes to be delicacies - special food which they eat during festivals and
celebrations. But a delicacy in one country may seem very unpleasant
to someone from a completely different culture.
Chinese make a very rare expensive soup out of the nest of a particular
kind of bird. In Japan sea urchins are popular dish. Aborigines in
Australia eat locusts, the French and Spain enjoy eating snails. There`s
even a tribe in Central America who eat tarantulas` eggs.
So, why is the idea of eating insects or snails, or spider`s eggs more
unpleasant than the idea of eating fish and chicken? It`s all question of
culture and tradition. For example, the Japanese eat seaweed, but most
of them find the cheese disgusting. In Thailand snakes are a delicacy. The
British people wouldn`t eat snakes, but eels are a traditional food. A lot
of British people don`t like the idea of eating squid, octopus or snails,
but in the most other European countries, these are normal foods.
