Worm Omelette: The World's Most Disgusting Food You Probably Don't Want To Try

There are many treats that could compete for the title of the most horrible dish.

For example, a worthy place on this list is occupied by balut-balut - nothing more than an egg boiled with a duckling formed inside, or monkey brain, which, by the way, is a forbidden delicacy, but is still served in some dishonest restaurants.

However, in our opinion, Cha Ruoi deserves the title of the most disgusting.

This omelette contains beaten eggs, tangerine zest, onion, dill and spices.

Oh yeah, we almost forgot – and the repulsive-looking sand worms.

To get rid of the unpleasant smell, the worms are first boiled and only then combined with the other ingredients.

You can try this dish in Vietnam at the end of autumn.

This is due to the fact that closer to winter, the worms begin their mating period - it is at this time that specialized segments grow on their backs, which continue to grow until the worm splits in half. After this, the part with the eggs and sperm will rise to the surface, where the Vietnamese will catch it and cook that very omelette.
