Many destinations have their own weird and wacky food traditions.
Here’s how you can experience a region’s native cuisine while getting to know the locals.
In Montana, the Rock Creek Lodge hosts the annual Testicle Festival, where adventurous eaters gather for Montana’s specialty: deep-fried bulls’ testicles.
Revelers spend five days partying, eating and mingling in this adults-only festival.
In Gloucestershire, try your luck at the annual Cheese-Rolling competition, where die-hard competitors hurl themselves down a steep hill in pursuit of a rolling wheel of cheese.
The winner walks off with the coveted cheese.
In Marlinton, West Virginia it’s all about the annual Roadkill Cook-off.
Don’t worry, no real road casualties are used in the competition, but contestants use animals commonly found on the side of the road to create dishes like “Thumper Meets Bumper” and “Asleep at the Wheel Squeal.” Try topping that!
