Here's your challenge, come up with a fictional delicacy and let the next poster describe the region of the world it comes from, its history etc. Sort of like the political ideologies game. I'll start

"Bat Blood Soup"
 
This originated amongst the Chinese comunity in south-east Asia, with cave-roosting bats being harvested by the same people who collect the cave-roosting swifts' nests for birds-nest soup. Eating it is believed to sharpen the senses.

Battered & deep-fried mice.
 
A sarcastic "Recipe" found in Great War I-era Frankish military magazines satiring the lack of food and abundance of vermin in the trenches. The "recipe" was to first club the mouse with the butt of a rifle, burn it with a flamethrower, and proceed to serve it up with a "seasoning" of napalm and gunpoweder.

Green Eggs and Ham
 
Tripe remains popular in the UK (and the west in general), including with fast food chains, notably the McTripe Sandwich and the Pizza Hut Tripe Feast pizza.

A St. Patrick's Day breakfast favorite in much of the Anglophone world.

Muscovy Duck a la Bombay
 
Tripe remains popular in the UK (and the west in general), including with fast food chains, notably the McTripe Sandwich and the Pizza Hut Tripe Feast pizza.

I had tripe a couple of weeks ago in a Michelin-starred restaurant in SW France, it was very good.
