If you think your lunch is adventurous, try chowing down on Vietnam’s cassia caterpillars! In the Central Highlands, these wriggly larvae are stir-fried into a crispy, creamy delicacy that’s basically the lovechild of a nut and a bug. Collected from cassia trees, purged, blanched, and tossed with garlic and lime leaves, they’re a pricey treat at $16 a kilo. Warning: they might make you itch, but the locals swear it’s worth the crunch!
