00:00Would you take a bite, knowing it could kill you?

00:02They say food is culture, identity, and memory.

00:05But in some corners of the world, food is something far more dangerous or disturbing.

00:10Take a moment.

00:11Picture a plate placed before you are minimal, almost artistic.

00:14On it lies a delicate slice of fuguah, Japanese blo-

00:17Raw, thin, perfect.

00:19But here's the thing.

00:20If the chef even slightly mishandled it, he would be dead in under 10 minutes.

00:24No antidote, no second chances.

00:26Still hungry.

00:27Then let's go to Iceland, where an ancient Viking delicacy is served with pride-fermented shark.

00:32Buried underground for months, then hung to rot in a shed.

00:35The smell alone is enough to empty a room, ammonia, decay, rotting flesh.

00:40But for some, dot dot dot, it's a rite of passage.

00:43Then there's casu mazua cheese from Sardinia that's so alive, it wriggles.

00:48Literally, it's infested with live maggots.

00:50If you eat it too fresh, the larvae can survive your stomach acid.

00:53Some people wear goggles while eating, because the maggots jump.

00:57Still with me, because it gets worse.

00:59In Southeast Asia, you can find Baluta, fertilized duck egg, boiled alive just before hatching.

01:05Crack it open, and you'll see feathers.

01:07A beak.

01:07Even tiny bones.

01:08And yet it's considered a comfort food.

01:10Street vendors sell it by the dozen.

01:12Children eat it like candy.

01:14And in China, there's the infamous virgin boy eggs eggs boiled in the urine of young schoolboys.

01:18It's believed to have health benefits.

01:20They're soaked all day, simmered in what the locals call pure energy.

01:24But perhaps the strangest part isn't what people eat.

01:27It's that to them.

01:28It's not strange at all.

01:29It's home.

01:30It's history.

01:31It's survival.

01:32So next time you look at your dinner plate, ask yourself, what's normal food?

01:35And how far would you go before you put down the fork?
