8 Foods that are Banned in Different Parts of the World
5. Foie Gras
Steer away from this dish if you ever happen to chance upon it on the menu of a pricey hotel restaurant. This duck dish has been banned because of the cruelty that the bird is subjected to. Thanks to international animal organization, PETA, millions of ducks have been saved from the force feeding technique that is applied on them so as to make their livers fat. Almost all countries have banned this torturous dish.
6. Kinder eggs chocolate
It’s surprising to see this harmless and sweet chocolate for kids on this list. This candy is banned from the US because the chocolate egg has a hollow in which a toy is kept hidden for kids. The government felt that this could cause choking hazards for the kids.
7. Shark fin soup
This nasty dish was invented in China, a country which specializes in eating almost anything that moves. A host of countries including Malaysia, USA, Hong Kong, Taiwan, etc., have made this dish illegal as it leads to the death and extinction of sharks, since their fins are cut off and they are left to die handicapped in the sea.
8. Haggis
Haggis is a Scottish dish which is wholly made of different parts of a sheep and served inside a sheep’s stomach itself. The US government banned its import and making because it felt that sheep’s lungs were not fit for consumption.
