The crispy shell is said to taste like a little piece of salty croissant that's been grilled, and the flavours that emerge from them are similar to those of a peanut.

Rattlesnake sausage at Wurstküche, Los Angeles
洛杉矶Wurstküche餐厅:响尾蛇香肠
Wurstküche offers a classic sausage such as a traditional Polish-style kielbasa, while the brave may want to try what looks like a perfectly normal hot dog but is actually made with rabbit and rattlesnake.
Instead the lumpy treat is actually blood sausage stuffed with noodles.
相反,这种块状的食物实际上是填充了面条的血肠。
Meanwhile, the sundaeguk (sundae stew), a simple dish made with pig's head and small intestines is described a good hangover cure by Time Out.

Raindrop cake at Smogasborg, New York
纽约Smogasborg餐厅:雨滴蛋糕
In New York, the latest social media food trend is the Japanese dessert known as mizu shingen mochi which looks exactly like a giant drop of water.
最近纽约社交网络上最火的食物是一种叫做“信玄水麻糬”的日式甜点,它看起来像是一滴巨大的水珠。
The sweet treat is made with water just solidified with agar (a vegetable gelatine) and served over brown sugar syrup and kinako (roasted soy flour).
信玄水麻糬是用琼脂(一种植物胶)将水固化再配上红糖浆和黄豆粉制成的。
The orb-like cakes can be sliced like any soft jelly but will melt if left out for too long.

Tapioca marshmallows, Chicama, London
伦敦Chicama餐厅:木薯粉棉花糖
Unlike the usual bonfire treat, Chicama's 'tapioca marshmallows' are chewy pieces of cooked-down tapioca - a starch made from the root of the cassava plant.
The result looks like marshmallows but the Parmesan adds a crispy cheesiness.
这种甜点看起来像棉花糖,但加入的帕尔马干酪使其具有香脆的奶酪口感。
Go fishing at Zauo, Tokyo
东京 Zauo钓鱼餐厅
At Zauo, a restaurant chain in Tokyo, you can catch your own dinner - just don't arrive hungry.
Zauo是东京的一家连锁餐厅,在这里你可以自己捕捞晚餐,只是不要饿着肚子去。
Diners are greeted by a giant, boat-shaped seating area surrounded by a moat teeming with all kinds of fish.
用餐者会被迎到一个巨型的船形就座区,周围环绕的水渠里有各种各样的鱼。
Once guests are seated, they're handed a fishing rod and some bait, and are free to 'go fishing'.
客人就座后会拿到一根鱼竿和一些鱼饵,然后就可以随便“钓鱼”了。
Visitors are unable to throw the fish back though - once caught it must be eaten - and the only seasonings are salt and lemon, to ensure that the fish's natural flavour is always prominent.
At Pigmeu - which, as the name suggests, focuses on pigs - the chefs devote themselves to making the most of the whole animal: loin, shoulder, leg, belly and everything in between.
Particularly recommended are pezinhos à coentrada (pig's trotters with coriander), salada de orelha (pig's ear salad) or rabinhos de porco molho agridoce (pigs' tails with sweet and sour sauce).
特别推荐的是荽菜配猪蹄、猪耳朵沙拉、糖醋猪尾巴。
Marie Antoinette's head at Barton G, Miami
迈阿密Barton餐厅:绝代艳后
Owned by Barton G Weiss, an A-list caterer, this unique restaurant serves American cuisine with a twist.
这间别具一格的餐厅供应改良美式菜肴,老板是一流宴会承办人巴顿·G·魏斯。
The pudding pièce-de-résistance is 'Marie Antoinette's head' - a cake homage to the last Queen of France that even includes a cotton candy powdered pompadour wig.
Instead of nestling in between two slices of bread, the jibarito arrives between juicy plantains, a member of the banana family.
Jibarito三明治的馅料不是夹在两片面包里,而是包在多汁的大蕉中。大蕉是一种香蕉。
