Well, some of the festivals on this list are only slightly bizarre, but others are really out there.
Last month ForbesTraveler.com brought us a short list of some of the weirdest food festivals from around the country. The grouped the fests into three categories: regional cuisine, the truly bizarre, and those "that focus so intently upon a specific food, however common, that they elevate them to the status of bizarre."
The article was entertaining and informative. It piqued my curiosity: I think I really do want to go to the Road Kill Cook-off in West Virginia (even though they don't allow actual road kill). However, you can keep the Chitlin' Strut (South Carolina) and the Bugfest (North Carolina). Anyone up for the Gilroy Garlic Festival (California)?
