Once travel abroad has been made possible through a careful review of cheap travel deals such as cheap airplane tickets, discount hotel rooms, cheap auto rentals, discount travel deals, and cheap vacation packages you should remain open to trying interesting new foods and drinks.

However one culture's culinary delight is sometimes another's worst nightmare. Below are foods you might want to pass on as well as food to try while traveling abroad:

€ Deep fried whole scorpion with the stinger intact is considered a special snack in China and Laos. Alternatively you might want to try the Chinese snack €zongzi,€ a rice dumpling wrapped in bamboo leaves.

€ Deep fried tarantula the size of a person's hand can be found in Cambodian. This includes the abdomen, which comes with a brown paste consisting of organs, possibly eggs, and excrement. Instead you might want to opt for fresh mango, which is served peeled, sliced, and on a stick.

€ Deer penis is ingested in several countries for its therapeutic properties. Vegetarians might prefer roasted corn on the cob.

€ Escamoles is a Mexican dish that consists of eggs of the giant black Liometopum ant. These eggs are harvested from the agave plant which is used to make mezcal and tequila. Alternatively you might want to try a quesadilla, which typically comes with cheese, vegetables and chicken or beef wrapped in a corn or flour tortilla.

€ Fertilized duck eggs are a popular Filipino appetizer. This is served in a boiled egg with a nearly developed fetus inside, including bones and beak. First you are supposed to crack open the egg and sip the fluid inside. Next you eat the rest with a little salt and vinegar or chili and garlic sauce. Some visitors might prefer partaking in €nilagang mani€ which are boiled and salted peanuts.

€ Fruit bat soup is served on the Pacific island of Palau. The bats are immersed alive in boiling water and then served in a broth with its hairy wings stretched out across the bowl and its tiny face staring out. Alternatively you might want to order €tinola,€ which is a ginger based soup that contains pieces of chicken and green papaya.

€ Jellyfish in China are usually served cold and are often chewy and tasteless. Instead you might like a dish called €Buddha's Delight€ which consists of a variety of vegetables cooked in a soy based liquid.

€ Maggot cheese is served on the Italian island of Sardinia and is made using sheep's milk that has been injected with live insect larvae. You need to hold your hand over the cheese while eating it, as the white, inch long larvae can leap up about six inches. A less daring dish is €malloreddus€ pasta with ribbed edges served with a sausage sauce and grated pecorino cheese.

€ Mice wine is a Chinese and Korean €health tonic€ consisting of rice wine with mice infusion. Baby mice are placed alive in bottles of rice wine and allowed to ferment. The flavor of the wine has been compared to that of gasoline. Instead, check out a local beer such as Hite, Cass or OB in Korea and Cheerday, Snow, or Tsingtao in China

€ Pacha is a boiled sheep's head dish which is popular in the Middle East. Alternatively you may want to select hummus, an appetizer made from mashed chickpeas, tahini sauce, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice.
