Here's our handy list of foods to avoid
Snake Wine
Typically found in Vietnam, the inactive snake venom 'snake wine' is considered to be a form of herbal medicine due to the proteins and nutrients it contains. If you do happen to have access to a snake, don't try this at home. This happens.
AbsintheThere isn't a Green Fairy in Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge for nothing. Absinthe was banned in most countries as it can cause hallucinations.
Fried TarantulasThis is probably not something for those who are terrified of the UK's False Widow Spider. Cambodia and Laos preserve tarantulas by frying them in hot oil. Why?
Shark Fins
Traditionally used for Chinese shark soup, the danger is not in eating this food, but risking life and limb fishing for it.
Oysters
Last year, a large number of British-grown oysters contained the norovirus.
Raw Milk
Still legal in America, unpasteurized milk can cause serious health issues. It's still around because 'milk activists' argue that it tastes better.
