Bhunni from Garhwal
This unique dish comes from the Garhwal region in Uttarakhand. It is made with goat's liver, stomach, intestines and blood. You read it! All the ingredients are curried and coupled with few spices. While I'm a bit conservative about what's put on my plate, those who've tasted blood (pun intended) find it quite appetizing.

Red Ants Chutney in Chattisgarh
You think that some foods you eat are weird what about this.the great Indian chutneys can make any dish come alive but with this one right here, you're guaranteed to gag. From the wilderness of Batsar in Chhattisgarh, comes a red hot chutney called chaprah. Here's a dish with a considerable bite (pun intended), a dip made with red ants and their eggs. The ants are dried and then crushed with salt, sweeteners and spices. It is so sharp and spicy that it can set your tongue on fire. Ants contain formic acid which is believed to render medicinal qualities. The local Dhuruva tribe will tell you that it's not just a dish, it's an adventure.
If you had to, would you eat these meals? If I didn't know that the first dish was made out of liver, stomach, intestines, I would probably eat it! The ant chutney looks absolutely horrendous. If I ate the ant chutney, I hope that the salt, sweeteners, and spices mask the taste of the eggs. You should read Vincent's post. It's also about the ant chutney. After just looking at the picture of the food, it makes my stomach turn!
