Food has driven human life and activity for years immemorial. While earlier, due to a lack of resources, the drive was hunger; now it is taste. People all over the world will try any recipe as long as it guarantees them a taste that their buds have never explored before.
With the rise of social media, recipes that were mostly a part of a person's own kitchen experiment went viral across the world, prompting people to try and see if they tasted good or not.
Over the years, some highly bizarre and eye-raising recipes have seen a life of fame on the internet. Below are some of the most shocking ones (trust us)!
Toilet bowl ice cream sundae

Had to include this one (because of social media). The most bizarre recipe in this entire list is the toilet bowl ice cream sundae that had some sane people buying toilet bowl-shaped mugs to make the recipe and some insane ones doing it in the toilet bowl of their home after (thoroughly) cleaning it.
Begin by adding crushed ice, some candy mix-ins and ice cream into the toilet bowl. Then add some soda or fruit punch to "flush" the sweets and melt the ice cream.
Now, serve the dessert in sundae glasses. The trend originated as a prank and went on to become a craze.
Chickle

If there's a love as consistent as the sun rising in the east, it's Gen Z's for acronyms. Thus, a dish named chickle (pickle in a blanket) went viral on social media.

If you are someone who loves trying bizarre food combos, then this recipe might be right up your alley. Created by Canada-born influencer Logan Moffit, popularly known as 'The Cucumber Guy, ' the cocktail includes kimchi-infused vodka, vermouth, kimchi juice, pickling soy sauce and garlic olive brine in a mix that is savoury and spicy.
While a few tried it for the taste, most tried it for the dare.
Oreo sushi

If Oreos are your favourite cookies and your love for sushi knows no bounds, then an Oreo sushi recipe is what you should have already tried by now. The recipe is extremely easy and frankly not necessary. But who says no to bizarre recipes, right? Begin by separating Oreo crusts and cream in two separate bowls. Take the crusts and grind them into a dough in a grinder with two tablespoons of milk.
Melt the cream to make it into a paste.
Now, on a plastic wrap, roll the Oreo dough into a layer and spread the cream on it. Cut it into long sections and roll like sushi. Freeze the dessert for an hour or so and enjoy Oreo sushi!

It seems food that brings out the child in you and makes it happy is worth all the effort. Thanks to Polish tennis player Iga Swiatek, the internet got to try a Polish recipe that it fell in love with. Though bizarre, the Polish strawberry pasta is a part of Polish cuisine.
It includes mixing cooked pasta with mashed strawberries and yogurt and adding a pinch of sugar and salt.
Onion lattes

Who would have thought onion lattes would get about 20 million views? The eye crossing recipe needs you to prepare a classic latte and garnish it with chopped green onion tops. While it is mostly served chilled, some like a warmer variation with dried or caramelised onions.
