Traveling to cities and countries, tourists do not lose the opportunity to go to local shops. In addition to the usual products and brands known all over the world, every corner of the planet has its own unique delicacies that confuse our compatriots.

Green pea candies

In Russia, peas are associated with soup or olivier. It is almost impossible to think that somewhere it is eaten as a sweetness.

However, in the US, chocolate-covered pea sweets with mint are popular. Of course, such a taste is difficult to beat, but peas add density and tenderness to the delicacy.

On our holidays, such popcorn would also have its fans. The product would go well with many drinks.

Facebook flavored ice cream

Italian hand-made gelato ice cream is known all over the world. But tourists hunt for a delicacy with a white and blue filling. After all, for 1 euro, the authentic taste of Facebook is revealed.

The popular social network tastes like chewing gum and candy. However, confectioners do not deny that the popularity of ice cream has earned not because of its taste, but because of the competent presentation and marketing.

Yellow watermelon

Since childhood, each of us knows: the redder the pulp of a watermelon, the sweeter it is. Only a yellow watermelon in Thailand and neighboring Asian countries can confuse a Russian tourist.

It is noted that the taste of such a fruit is sweeter, and there are fewer seeds in it. In addition, the calorie content of a yellow watermelon is lower than that of its Astrakhan brother.

Chicken eggs without shell

In the Philippines and in neighboring countries, you can often find already boiled and even shelled chicken eggs. They are sold in packs of one, two or six pieces. Each egg lies on a special pillow that absorbs the smell of sulfur.

Apparently, the pace of life in these countries is so high that they save time even on such trifles. Eggs without shells are especially beneficial and nutritious, for example, after a workout or for breakfast before going to work.

Pepsi with milk and strawberry flavor

Japan surprises endlessly. Pepsi is actively helping with this by supplying soda with milk and strawberry flavors.

This drink is especially popular with young female Hello Kitty fans. On New Year's holidays, few feasts are complete without Pepsi Pink. You can buy 0.5 liters of water for about $ 1.50.

Rusty chocolate bar

Belgian women have no problem choosing at for their men. Rusty tools won't make the other half happy. It's another matter if they are completely made of chocolate.

Tools can be purchased as sets or separately. Chocolatiers offer a choice of pliers, hammer, nuts, bolts and wrenches of various sizes.

Frog meat

From France to the Caribbean, canned frog meat is a popular delicacy. Only amphibian legs are eaten. Cutlets are made from them, fried with shallots and white wine, and also deep-fried.

The dish tastes like chicken or mussels. Every year, thousands of tourists take such jars with them as a souvenir for relatives and friends.

Earthworm jerky

Nature conservation issues sometimes push scientists to unexpected solutions. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations said that worms can solve the problem of hunger. Indeed, to obtain 1 kg of beef it takes 10 kg of feed. With the same feed consumption, you can get 8 kilograms of invertebrates. Dried worms are a modern trend that is gaining more and more fans.

Eco-activists run worm farms or vermicomposters in their kitchens. And the future delicacy is cultivated under their vigilant supervision without GMOs and chemicals. On store shelves, dried worms can be found next to the usual beer snacks.
