Greetings Hivers, 
π©βπ³ Bizarre Foods π¦ͺ
π¨βπ» Week #25 Challenge π©βπ»
September 19th β‘οΈ September 26th, 2022Β Β Β There are a lot of bizarre foods around the world, and what might seem like a normal food to you might be a weird food to another person. When I explain how cheese is made to my Cambodian friends, they are always shocked and disgusted, but it's a perfectly normal food in many parts of the world. Even here in SE Asia, tempeh is perfectly normal in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, but here in Cambodia it would be considered a very bizarre food, especially considering how it is produced.
Β Β Β Durian is a food normal all over SE Asia, but strange in other countries, and of course there are local versions too. Perhaps your area has a strange fruit/vegetable not found elsewhere, or even a local dish that might be considered strange to some people. In some parts of the USA, people eat pickled eggs, and I always thought this was very strange as a kid, and of course the Philippines has balut.
Β Β Β Let's see your strange and bizarre foods my fellow ASEAN Hivers. I recently tried cardamom shoots for the first time, and I must say it was like eating Tiger Balm, not a joy. Even though I cook with cardamom seeds very often, I didn't know the plant itself was also edible, but after trying it, I not question it's edibility ππ.

π΅ Local Proverbs/Folk Sayings π΄
Β Β Β Wow!!! This was one of the most culturally insightful challenges so far, and those of you from mixed heritage families have access to the most proverbs all, able to pull from multiple knowledge banks. I really enjoyed reading every single entry, and was reminded how small the world is, we have many different ways of saying the same thing. As hard as it was, I narrowed things down to 3 outstanding entries, so let's go ahead and have a look.
