you sell me horse blood no would you like to buy horse blood no
the world is full of wonderful and unique foods some however have been banned from
certain regions or even entire countries so make sure to stay away from the top 10
foods that should be banned technically it's illegal in this country chewing gum
singapore has some pretty strict laws when it comes to things like spitting and littering in
public and why shouldn't they littering is one of the worst problems that exists in all parts
of the world and everyone could benefit from a little less trash in the streets chewing gum
however is where singapore law may take things a bit too far in 1992 lee kuan yew decided that he
was going to keep singapore as clean as possible he considered the act of chewing gum to be unclean
and wanted to prevent the city streets from becoming filled with used gum who can blame
him though there are so many places in the world where the sidewalks are spotted with pieces of
disposed chewing gum that have been baked into the concrete by the sun sounds like my kind of gum lee
was often quoted speaking about the ill use of chewing gums throughout the country he definitely
was not a fan maybe he was a school teacher in a previous life they seem to have the same outlook
on the chewy treat while chewing gum today is much more tolerated in singapore you still may end up
facing a huge fine if you're caught spitting your gum out onto the streets so the next time you find
yourself in singapore remember to switch out your pack of gum habit for breath mints mountain dew
here's mountain dew zero i am thirsty now to add a truly all-american classic to this list
mountain dew much like coca-cola can be thought of as one of the true american soft drinks packed
with sugar artificial color and caffeine mountain dew can be found on most store shelves across the
united states coming in many different flavors and artificial colors mountain dew has been a favorite
of many over the years this sugar-packed drink has been banned however in both japan and parts of
europe one would think that this drink was surely banned due to the amount of unnatural coloring
used to give the unique soda its neon like glow but it was banned for something much more strange
brominated vegetable oil is one of the ingredients that has been used in mountain dew for some time
now while it won't prevent you from catching fire it has been used as a fire retardant in some
plastics ingesting too much of this substance has given some people skin lesions memory issues and
even nerve disorders that sounds bad so the next time you want to pair your gaming session with a
sugary soda you may want to look for another drink that is brominated vegetable oil free horse meat
they feed us horse meat with traces of jockey meat while horses aren't that much different from cows
most of the world doesn't indulge in a horse meat burger italians on the other hand love their horse
meat especially in the region of sicily while some say it doesn't taste much different from
cow meat horse meat has been banned in the united states and united kingdom for ethical reasons
it's for the best the u.s has actually had a long history with producing horse meat over the
years though like many other countries around the world horse meat was used as a replacement
for other types of more common meat when other options weren't available today there is quite
the confusing ban around the sale of horse meat while the sale of horse meat itself isn't banned
the budget for horse meat inspectors was repealed which has basically outlawed the meat itself
although horse meat has had its place in history many people around the world see horses as more of
a pet than a source of food as long as other meat supplies stay in stock most doubt will see a lift
on the horse meat ban anytime soon black pudding what's my favorite hospital food um jello just
from the name alone you may think that this next food is a wonderfully tasty type of dessert you
would be wrong in thinking this unfortunately as black pudding is a traditional british dish that
is more like a sausage made with blood composed of oats barley fat and pig blood black pudding
may not be as appetizing as the name suggests this blood-filled food is wildly popular in the united
kingdom and is even a main part of a traditional english breakfast black pudding and other blood
sausage dishes have been outlawed in the united states and diners will continue to have to travel
outside of the states to fulfill their craving for the classic british snack many countries in
asia also serve foods that are made with blood whether it be pig blood fish blood or the many
other varieties maybe next time deshawn blood really seems to be a popular item to cook with in
some parts of the world i think it's safe to say that most people in america haven't tried a food
made with any type of blood and no the red juice that comes out of a steak isn't blood to really
try something made with blood you'll most likely have to travel overseas durian fruit that's a
dangerous fruit it's like a weapon i think durian fruit is a hugely polarizing food it's sold in
tropical regions of the world like many countries in southeast asia also known as the king of
fruits due to its defensive outer shell durian can actually be quite the expensive purchase depending
on how much you order the first thing people will tell you about durian is that the smell it emits
is almost too much to handle some people liken the smell to that of dirty gym socks while others
think that it smells like raw sewage whatever you think it smells like you'll be glad to hear that
it is one fruit banned from many public transit systems across asia trains and buses have posted
signs specifically stating that carrying durian on board is strictly prohibited as bad as durian
may smell the taste is actually quite good and the texture is almost reminiscent of ice cream
the first bite you're kind of like i'm not sure i like this and then the second one it's amazing
there are many people in this world who love durian with a passion and will continue to eat
the exotic fruit despite all the bad looks they receive while digging into their favorite pungent
snack bush meat it's snake meat bushmeat is a type of meat that is acquired from animals that are
not typically hunted for food bats rats monkeys snakes and other animals are commonly used for
their meat in parts of africa and asia however in many western countries these types of meats have
been banned due to their ability to spread disease to the general public no one has to be reminded
of the most recent worldwide pandemic that may have stemmed from someone eating a bat right
tell me about it it's easy to see why some animals are not used for their meat as we are still seeing
the effects of what a global pandemic can do to the world although bush meat is illegal in
most countries some places don't see any issue with eating such animals bush meat is sold all
over western and central africa and many people rely on these animals for a source of food it's
hard to look down on eating strange animals when there may be nothing else available fugu
mmm fan fugu tastic fugu is a highly poisonous type of blowfish that is enjoyed as a rare
delicacy in asia most notoriously japan and korea when preparing this unique fish
chefs have to be extremely careful to remove all of the toxic parts of the fish
before serving it to guests if a customer were to mistakenly consume some of the
toxin they may endure partial paralysis or even death by asphyxiation in some cases
oh no i poisoned you since the year 1958 fugu chefs have to hold a specific license to be
able to sell the fish to the general public this is no easy process either the chefs must train
as an apprentice for two years and complete a multi-section test that requires an immense amount
of knowledge about the fish while this fish is still being served throughout some parts of asia
fugu is banned across the european union and the united kingdom due to its potential for extreme
poisoning while the fish may be delicious most people aren't willing to risk eating something
for dinner that could contain a toxin 1500 times more powerful than cyanide when other perfectly
safe options exist maybe order the poached salmon instead cassio marzu i hate it this
way what's wrong with it less cheese also known as maggot cheese kasumarzu is a special type
of cheese that is popular in sardinia an island off the coast of italy the cheese starts off in
a normal state but it's then injected with fly larvae why would someone inject perfectly good
cheese with fly larvae you may ask well it's to speed up the fermenting process of course while
the maggots are usually removed before serving the cheese some major cheese connoisseurs think that
eating the cheese with the maggots still inside is the proper way to enjoy this strange delicacy
actually there's nothing scary about the mice at all this maggoty cheese has been
banned from commercial sale in most places and completely banned in the united states
most people can understand why a cheese full of maggots may not be the greatest thing to sell to
the general public but hardcore cheese enthusiasts may think otherwise the draw of the cheese is that
once the maggots have eaten through the enzymes that exist inside the hard surface begins to break
down to a soft and smooth consistency while this may sound appetizing in some way when the cheese
monger cracks open the hard outer shell to expose the soft inner core maggots can be seen squirming
throughout the block this cheese may be one of the most unique and interesting in the world of dairy
but many people may not want to give it a try why eat a block of maggot filled cheese when a creamy
brie can give you the same effect without all the squirming shark fins they're gonna tear you finn
from fish shark fin soup is the most popular way that this food item is usually served many diners
may have visited a traditional chinese restaurant that served the dish with either a replacement for
the fin or maybe even the real thing most people can understand why this food has been banned from
most countries around the world the sharks are hunted for their fins in an aggressive manner
and then unfortunately left to die once the fin has been harvested how could you how could you
seen as a symbol of great wells in chinese and taiwanese culture shark fin is still quite
popular in the region although lacking in any real flavor according to some who have tried it
shark fin is thought to also possess great health benefits according to some ancient
myths shark fins have now become so popular that many of the shark populations across the globe
are suffering due to the increased demand it may not seem so bad to eat shark considering all the
other seafood that are eaten without issue but the problem stems from just using the fin as a
source of meat and leaving the majority of the shark untouched while this technique is highly
looked down upon by much of the western world asia is continuing to over harvest the shark population
in an attempt to provide its people with this local delicacy genetically modified foods they're
genetically modified to stay fresh the source of much recent debate in the food world has revolved
around genetically modified foods many countries across the globe have put a full ban in place on
these types of foods and now the nations of the world france germany austria greece hungary the
netherlands latvia lithuania luxembourg bulgaria poland denmark malta slovenia italy and croatia
all have completely outlawed gmos with other countries choosing to partially ban the foods the
use of genetically modified foods has been quite controversial in most places on one side you have
the argument that these foods are not natural and therefore more harmful to the consumers the other
side argues that these foods have been modified in a way to help the general population increasing
the growth for farmers and preventing these crops from succumbing to disease or insects are some of
the main reasons genetic modification has been used over the years although the united states
still consumes a lot of genetically modified foods the awareness has risen within many communities
and people are requesting a return to more natural means of production i also only eat local
organic produce some people are against the use of these types of foods but there hasn't been any
clear evidence if gmos are actually harmful the foods may have had their genes modified in a lab
but does that really make them unhealthy or bad for human consumption by default many
perfectly legal foods contain equally dangerous ingredients yet we continue to sell and consume
these foods without major issue at the end of the day it all depends on what you're willing
to put into your body whether it be good or bad for you it all comes down to what you determine
