Exotic Foods

If you think Indian food is only about spices, curries and

vegetables, think again! In Assam, people eat a delicacy called

eri polu. It's made from the pupa of silkworms and served

with khorisa, a dish made from fermented bamboo shoots.

Another exotic dish, sorpotel, is a kind of stew that's eaten

in Goa. It looks quite harmless, but it's made from a pig's

internal organs! Dishes made from dried fish are another

delicacy in many parts of India. Nahkham takes the prize for

being the smelliest of all the fish dishes. It's a curry made

from dried fish mixed with vegetables and distilled ashes.

Bon appétit!
