15 Weird Foods That Appeared in 2018
We live in the era of consumption and are spoiled with so many tastes and forms. However, the statistics show that more than 520,000,000 tons of food got lost or wasted by people all over the world this year. Quite often manufacturers try to surprise clients to attract their interest but sometimes products become so bizarre and weird that they risk losing the consumer.
Bright Side found 15 pictures of bizarre foods that can bring new tastes into your life.
1. “This is ‘Beer Ramen’. It’s essentially chilled ramen served in a glass beer stein.”
This ramen is served in one Japanese restaurant in Vancouver. This idea came to its creator once during an exceptionally hot summer. The dish is just ordinary ramen, but served chilled in a mug. It is non-alcoholic and there is no beer, but just an imitation of it. The froth is made with gelatin and egg whites.
2. Chips in unpredictable flavors
Asia has the best choice of snacks with bizarre tastes like yogurt, cola, flowers, and even water. As odd as they may seem, it is hard to resist trying them. If you are searching for unpredictable flavors, Korean supermarkets are there for you.
