Edible Oddities is an exploration of strange, weird, disturbing, unsettling, or just uncommon foods (particularly in relation to what is typically eaten in the USA). They may come straight from plants or be highly processed. They may be rare or they may be found everywhere. They may be recent inventions or old traditions. They may be the unique offering of a single little company or mass produced by multinationals. They may be foreign delicacies or domestic staples. On thing they all do have in common is that they are strange. For a variety of reasons and to different degrees, these consumables are all odd, within or without the context of the homogenized Western diet. Herein lies my paltry exploration of and dissertation upon my experiences with the weird foods I am compelled to buy in a somewhat pathetic attempt to inject some variety and exoticism into my life.
