Maggot cheese, putrid sea herring or virgin boy eggs -- bon appetit!
Los Angeles — Care for some maggot cheese, fried tarantula or a bat? Or how about fried locusts, grasshoppers or virgin boy eggs?These delicacies are among some 80 items featured at the Disgusting Food Museum that opened in Los Angeles On Sunday, aiming to expose visitors to different cultures and foods and what we may all be eating in the future.Samuel West, the museum's founder, said he came up with the idea for the two-month exhibit -- which first opened in his native Sweden in October -- in light of the ongoing debate about environmentally sustainable sources of protein and food security."If we can change people's notions of disgust, maybe we can also open them up to new sustainable proteins," said West, pointing to platefuls of Iru locust beans eaten in Nigeria,...

Monkeys run amok in India's corridors of power
NEW DELHI — India's government faces a tough re-election battle next year but first it must deal with an opponent as wily as any political rival, troops of monkeys that have become a big threat around its offices in New Delhi.Red-faced rhesus macaques have spread havoc, snatching food and mobile telephones, breaking into homes and terrorizing people in and around the Indian capital.They have colonized areas around parliament and the sites of key ministries, from the prime minister's office to the finance and defence ministries, frightening both civil servants and the public."Very often they snatch food from people as they are walking, and sometimes they even tear files and documents by climbing in through the windows," said Ragini Sharma, a home ministry employee.Ahead...

On an otherwise quiet movie weekend, 'Ralph' wrecks it again
Hollywood — Disney's "Ralph Breaks the Internet" has again topped North American box offices, taking in an estimated $16.1 million for the weekend to narrowly edge out another family-oriented animation, Universal's "The Grinch," industry tracker Exhibitor Relations said Sunday.On a last quiet weekend before the coming crush of holiday films, the order of the top five films on this three-day weekend was, remarkably, exactly the same as last weekend."Ralph," a family-friendly sequel to 2012's "Wreck It Ralph" with the title character voiced by John C. Reilly, came in just ahead of "Grinch," which sold $15.7 million in tickets. Benedict Cumberbatch voices the grouchy Seuss-inspired title character in that film.In third spot again...

Enter the Bull: Fighters mix kung fu and bullfighting in China
BEIJING/JIAXING, China — Several times a week, kung fu teacher Ren Ruzhi enters a ring to spar with a bovine opponent around five times his weight and capable of killing him.Ren's mixing of martial arts and bullfighting worries his mother, but the 24-year-old has never been hurt. Besides, he says, grappling with a snorting bull is exciting."It symbolizes the bravery of a man," Ren told Reuters in Jiaxing in China's eastern province of Zhejiang.Unlike Spain's more famous sport, the Chinese variant of bullfighting involves no swords or gore but instead fuses the moves of wrestling with the skill and speed of kung fu to bring down beasts weighing up to 400 kg (882 lb).Han calls the bullfighting style he teaches "the explosive power of hard 'qigong'",...

Bug business: Cockroaches corralled by the millions in China to crunch waste
JINAN, China — In the near pitch-dark, you can hear them before you see them — millions of cockroaches scuttling and fluttering across stacks of wooden boards as they devour food scraps by the tonne in a novel form of urban waste disposal.The air is warm and humid — just as cockroaches like it — to ensure the colonies keep their health and voracious appetites.Expanding Chinese cities are generating more food waste than they can accommodate in landfills, and cockroaches could be a way to get rid of hills of food scraps, providing nutritious food for livestock when the bugs eventually die and, some say, cures for stomach illness and beauty treatments.On the outskirts of Jinan, capital of eastern Shandong province, a billion cockroaches are being fed with 50 tonnes of kitchen waste a...
