25 Foods You Must Try At Least Once In Your Lifetime (4 of 5)

Cod’s roe

Caviar is so out of fashion – there’s a unique fish egg that you can try now. A bit more affordable and less delectable than your traditional caviar, soft cod’s roe is something you can treat with a touch that is rough. You can try adding it into taramasalata, eat it deep-fried, or even add slices of it into pasta.

Courgette flowers

Courgette flower recipes are becoming increasingly popular over the years, and we can definitely understand why. If you can get your hands on some of these in early summer, you can fill these paper-thin shells with some fine Italian cheese and you’re good to go!

Sea urchin

While sea urchins are a delicacy you should definitely enjoy at least once, in your lifetime – approach with caution, as these contain spikes all around the body. But once you are beyond this shell, lip-smacking taste awaits you. A very popular food in Italy and some parts of Asia, you should get yourself the ready-prepared treat from a fish expert. You can add some spaghetti or some pasta and relish this delicacy.

Okra

Also known as the ‘lady’s fingers’, okra is quite a popular food that is extensively used in Asian cooking. This tapered shape vegetable is capable of handling even the strongest of flavors and goes along really well in a tomato sauce gravy. If you can, try fresh okra instead of the canned one for a better taste.

Spirulina

Spirulina is a blue-green algae that is usually available in powder form and is added to soups, juices, and smoothies. It is a nutritional powerhouse, with high amounts of minerals, vitamins, protein, and antioxidants. Unlike the other common superfoods, the harvest of spirulina supports a large number of people in Africa, which makes it a superfood in more than one way.
