Some people are adventurous eaters — or they claim to be, but have they tried any of these delicacies from around the world? From oysters that really aren’t, unique (to say the least) fish preparations, eggs cooked in pee, and just plain bugs, TasteAtlas put together this list of foods that rank up there as some of the most unusual, bizarre, and sometimes plain gross (to a non-local) foods from around the world.[VIA]
As science in general, and food science specifically change with out evolving world and societal norms, it’s no surprise that some have been working on finding new food sources, especially meat products, that are innovative and able to provide us with nourishment without sacrificing thousands of animals. From lab-grown meat products, to insect and plant proteins, today’s infographic looks at some of these innovations and how we might be getting out meat products in the future. [VIA]
Hopefully you’ve gotten your bird, and have started thawing it, as Thanksgiving is only a few days away! While it’s all about family, food, football, and fun in my house, it’s important that everything is done safely. Today’s infographic gives a great overview of cooking that bird, and doing it safely for your family’s feast! [VIA]
One of the biggest New Years resolutions people tend to have is to eat better, or healthier. This got me thinking about what we could eat, and I stumbled upon this infographic. Below is a list of 10 things that are actually edible in your home or garden, along with serving suggestions and calorie counts. Somehow I doubt I will be rushing home to dig in though. I would have to be mighty desperate to dig into my old belt or a box of chalk! [VIA]
Happy Holidays!

This would make a wonderful comparison to the modern lunches your students eat! How much has changed and stayed the same? Think you could get that plate for 15 cents in 2016?? Another fun comparison or tie in would be to look at some school lunches from around the world here.

If I had a nickel for every time I was called a mouse for my love of cheese, I would have retired a billionaire about 10 years ago! Today’s infographic details the long history of cheese and cheese products in the world. From the (as far as I can find), now defunct Yankee Hollow cheese subscription service, this is still a wonderful walk through — I just need some crackers! [VIA]
I can’t help it, I love to eat, but not always the school lunches we get here at work. I know that the kids feel the same way too. I think what’s a little off-putting is that I can remember eating basically the same things we have now as I did when I was a student more years ago than I would like to admit. The more you think about it, however, the more it turns out that we have an American “traditional” school lunch, since the basics (PB&J, chicken nuggets, meatloaf, chicken patty, etc.) have remained unchanged for so long and is pretty standard across the country. Today’s infographic shares a few of the traditional school lunches from other nations, as all have traditional staples and foods in not only schools, but at home. It does make me wonder if these students get as sick of their selections as American students though. [VIA]

Want to make makeover your Thanksgiving table to look a little more 17th century authentic tomorrow? What are usually considered the staples of a traditional Thanksgiving dinner may be a little foreign to the pilgrims who feasted in 1621. Based on a letter from Edward Winslow and William Bradford’s Of Plymouth Plantation, today’s infographic makes a few substitutions to our modern plate. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving! [VIA]
