Five Foods to Try before you Die

We're all open to new experiences and one of the best way to try something a little out of the ordinary is to eat something a little different. Human beings seem to have had a go at putting everything into their mouths at one stage or another, leading to some tasty results - however, we're not condoning you eating a little bit of canine.

There's plenty out there to try that's a little more mainstream, though you may just have not had the opportunity to swallow. That's why we've decided give you some foods to aim for and we advise you to give the foods below a try before you die.

Steak Tartare

Those of us with a traditional pallet don't particularly love the thought of raw meat and have even put sushi off our personal menus until recently. However, this dish of prime minced beef, mixed with mustard, capers, anchovies, pepper and topped with a raw egg is one to definitely get your taste buds tingling. It's a velvety food, that is more taste ridden than any steak you've ever eaten. Untouched by flame, but amazing all the same - it must be tried once and deal of the day site's such as Living Social often offer the chance to try this food.

Lobster

Cooking and killing your own lobster is a fantastic way to have a meal. They do often give the advice that you shouldn't eat anything you can't kill and in the case of a lobster this is especially true. Lobsters have to be taken out alive and killed there and then to ensure they are fresh enough to give the best flavour. Of course, the food itself is beautifully luxurious and meaty and something for those special occasions, or when gotten witha great deal from Livingsocial.co.uk.

Tomato

Now we're not saying it should merely be a tomato - we're talking about you growing your own before you eat it. Growing your own food is exciting and tomatoes are among the easiest to aid in our climate. The results however are spectacular. When you eat your own tomato you can see why. The labour and the end result are directly related and there is a sumptuous sweetness in home grown tomatoes nothing else can match. Home grown tomatoes are all sunshine and prove the best food is the type where no shortcuts are taken.

Natto

Though it looks like a misspelt word and on when you hear it's fermented soya beans you may think it's a mistake, Natto is amazing. The beans may be smelly and have to be stirred until frothy with a chop stick, however they offer one of the most unique tastes on the planet. The aftertaste is so strange, but still desirable you'll keep eating until the beans are gone and the plate is clean - a strange and wonderful food.

Handmade Pasta

Like tomatoes mentioned above - making your own pasta is something that has to be done. It is an art and mastering it can take time, but it certainly is worth it and offers an amazing taste. In fact, you just add some salt, pepper and olive oil and perhaps a little parmesan and you've a meal. No need for meat, sauce or anything else - great homemade pasta is a complete dish.

Bone Marrow

Though it may not seem appealing, bone marrow offers one of the most heavenly flavours on the planet. This is pure meat and when melted to the right degree and salted correctly is more satisfying than any steak. Its consistency is gloop, meaning it coats your whole mouth in flavour.

Escargot

Snails to the rest of us none French speaking folk are something that destroy our greens. However, eating them with garlic butter is something to be tried at the very least, once in a lifetime. They're tender and luxurious and are best served with a nice piece of garlic butter covered bread.
