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 Greenland, they eat whale skin and fermented sea birds. Locals from Greenland serve a special dish called "mattak" made from whale skin. It's too hard to chew, so it's usually swallowed whole. They have also "kiviak" which is the raw flesh of auks (a species of birds) fermented in seal skin. They're considered delicacies up there. Image credit: © Lisa Risager / Wikimedia Commons
