Feral Factor NZ

Long before Fear Factor plumbed new depths of culinary nightmares, New Zealand has had an extreme food frenzy - the Hokitika Wildfoods Festival which is now in its 16th year. The event on March 11th will also feature a 'Feral Factor' competition with contestants munching their way through seven items of unsavoury fare: cow udder, wild goat testicles, pig snout, frog legs, offal (possibly liver), live snails in the shell, and kina. Some will be cooked, and some raw.

The organisers of the festival promise a veritable smorgasbord of 'innovative food such as pigs ears, grass hopper, earthworms, scorpion, hare testicles, chicken feet, magpie pies, stuffed seaweed, bull semen, fish eyes and huhu grubs washed down with rhubarb champagne'

Yum.
