Analysis of Delicacies Worldwide



Insect juice and larva sauce make a crock of soup
Soggy gunk and sappy dross make a bowl of goop

Feline tail and bovine tongue make a can of spam
Liver bile and beetle dung make a jar of jam

Gizzard tips and tartar steak make a dish of muck
Emu eggs and garter snake make a tray of yuck

Pigeon wings and conger eel make a vat of mush
Fusty gills and harbor seal make a tub of slush

Rooster eyes and rabbit feet make a sack of nuts
Canine ribs and sugar beet make a case of guts

Putrid waste and bloody spill make a glass of brew
Carrion and roadside kill make a flask of spew
