Weird Menu Items

When eating overseas (and in many places in the U.S.) you may get some interesting dishes. We have collected some weird menu items from across the world. One of the rules of the HABU World Tour is that you have to at least try some of the menu items. We always try the local specialty and usually find some great new food, even though it may be slightly unusual. These items are either unusual foods, unusual names, or some bad translation. One of the rules of eating overseas is that what you think you are ordering, usually has no resemblance to what you thought you were going to get. Usually what you get is outstanding, but is not anything close to what you were expecting. We can't recall ever having a bad meal  in any of the places we have been.....except maybe that dung poo stuff, or the stew we got at a truck stop in speed bump Arizona. Each of the items comes from a real menu....we can't make this stuff up.

From Kazakhstan

Vitaminous salad - we are not sure but we were thinking lettuce and a bunch of small pills

Borsch with breast - self explanatory

Slab Chocolate - how about a piece of chocolate?

Hoegaarden White - which is a beer

Horse flesh raw smoked - not sure how this was going to arrive

Horse delicacies - Mr. Ed on a stick

Tongue fried on butter with pate - mmm, mmm good, fry me a slab

Rabbit stewed in white wine with tongue - which kind of wine did they use?

Dung Poo - and it looked & tasted a lot like it too
