Because I'm all about food exoticisation these days, here's a list of some of the stranger and/or most exotic food festivities going on around the planet
This being the end of summer in the northern hemisphere there are a lot of standard summer food festivities going on, from bbq festivals all over the states, celebrations of fruits, oysters, wine, and cheese.
