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.
