10 Christmas Traditions From Around the World You Probably Haven't Heard Of

Christmas is a time for tradition, family, and food, but this can mean something different in various parts of the world. For example, in South Africa, the main dish is fried caterpillars, whereas, in Greenland, they eat whale skin and fermented sea birds.

In South Africa, the main holiday dish is fried caterpillars. Deep-fried caterpillars (of the emperor moth) are very nutritious because they're high in protein. They're also considered to be a delicacy there because they're so tasty. These insects are also harvested during winter, so it lines up perfectly with Christmas. The locals eat them as a snack or cooked with tomatoes and sauce.
