A foodie is in all of us that constantly lookout for new and interesting dishes and recipes to try out. Experimenting with different cuisines and dishes every time we eat out is our favourite job. And when it comes to trying something totally out of the box, we are the first one to do so. But what about you? So, here is something interesting for the non-vegetarians. This might sound bizarre at first but these are relished in some parts of the world. Would you dare to try worms, wasps, and insects?
Well, for all those brave hearts who would dare to try these gourmet dishes, here is a list of worms and insects that are relished around the globe:
1. Bees and wasps

These little creatures are said to have an apple-like flavour and are a good source of proteins. They are also high on substances that reduced bad cholesterol in the body. The only downside is that they smell terrible. They are consumed in parts of Asia, South America, and Africa.
5. Tarantulas

Sounds gross? These nasty looking creatures are often eaten raw in parts of Africa, Australia, and South America and apparently, they taste like carrots. So, if you were looking for a non-veg alternative to carrots, your search ends here.
