Today we are more and more curious, open to
new experiences and world food. We are individuals who are brave enough to test
our own culinary boundaries. We eat horse-meat, game, kangaroo, ostrich,
turtle, snails, frogs, snakes, insects and other "exotic" food and we are
continually searching for the new gourmet steps forward. However, nobody has
moved the limits of unavailable and non-edible like Edible.com, a London-based
supplier of extraordinary food.
Online shop Edible.com is offering first-hand exotic culinary experience and an adventure for your taste buds. There you can find delicacies such as cicada, ants and other chocolate covered ants, giant hornet's honey, cactus marmalade, reindeer pate, crunchy worm crisp, aphrodisiac pearl lollipop, thai green crocodile curry, wild black vanilla pods, lizard wine, scorpion vodka, snake vodka, a tea that monkeys pick, smoked rattle snake and other products.
Kopi Luwak stands out among the delicacies maybe because of the fact we are especially sensitive to coffee. Kopi Luwak is not an ordinary coffee. This is one of the finest and rarest coffees of the world and it comes from Sumatra. The Luwak Paradoxurus hermaphroditus (similar to mongoose) denizen of the coffee (kopi) plantations of Java, Sumatra, and Sulawesi, eats only the ripest coffee cherries. Unable to digest the coffee beans, the Luwak graciously deposits them on the jungle floor where they are eagerly collected by the locals. The stomach acids and enzymatic action involved in this unique fermentation process produces the beans for the world's rarest coffee beverage. Its unique chocolatey flavour is one of a kind.
The supplier points out that all products are 100% safe. The scorpion is 100% safe to eat due to the fact we have specially heat treated it to remove toxins present! Along with flavour, exoticism and prestige, some delicacies are said to be good for your health, libido and they are also rare and exclusive. A special department in stores is reserved for aphrodisiacs.
Some may find it bizarre, others acceptable exotic food stuffs, anybody can do what they like. In any case, you can satisfy your curiosity on the web site www.edible.com/shop .
