4)+Conclusion


 * __In conclusion:__**

Many of these exotic food are usually derived through religon and culuture of a country or community. These exotic foods are usually not used as a staple form of food. These foods are usually used for special occasions or taken as a occasionaly delicacy. Some of these foods are used only in desparate times such as famine. During these times, normal food cannot be easily found or very little can be obtained, thus these exotic food are eaten to supplement the diet. Of course, there are still people who eat these exotic food as part of their main diet, bu these are only very few people.

__Exotic food__ is

 * Used as a "extra" in daily diet

__**Reflections**__ I have learnt a lot researching about exotic food. I managed to get a good glimpse about how these foods are prepared, the customs and culutres. Though at first thy looked disgusting, I think that we should all understand different culutres and habits in food. These exotic food should be tried and not be immidiately dismissed as "disgusting" or "filthy". Seeing that some of these foods have been a crucial life line for many people in famines and such, I have come to appreciate more about these foods and their importance to the culutre of certain people aroudn the world.
