[Flickr: yusheng] Shaved ice + red beans + sweetened condensed milk + flan = hong dou bing, or red bean shaved ice, a typical Taiwanese dessert. Oh, glistening suspension of red beans in thick condensed milk topped with wobbly pudding mass—how I love you. For those who live in Taipei, Yusheng says he got this shaved ice at Gāoxióng Pópóbīng.

[Photograph: Central European News] I'd feel funny chomping into the head of one of these Buddha-shaped pears, but they're popular in their home city of Hexia, China.

Photograph from on Flickr Banana death by human is your typical chew-and-swallow method, but when you get green birds involved, it becomes a little uglier. This hungry one decided to dissect the banana midsection, or the bananular belly in technical terms. Maybe bananas are like pigs and all the tender, succulent meat is hiding in the belly region?
