Boba pizza? Why not! Strange flavours from Taiwan


Every time Pizza Hut announces a limited edition pizza, it sparks heated discussions on the internet. They have had some quite unusual choices in the past, such as stinky tofu, durian, boba, tangyuan, and spicy hot pot. Their latest creation is a pizza with century eggs, pig blood cake, and coriander (香菜皮蛋豬血糕比薩). However, it's not just famous brands that come up with strange pizza choices. There is also a pizza shop in Chiayi that recently started serving turkey testicle pizza.

Personally, I find it quite funny and very original. I wouldn't have a problem trying some of these unconventional flavors. Although many people were angry about it, even going as far as saying that Taiwan should be banned from using the word "pizza" for its innovations or that it's a torture for Italian people to see these pizza flavors. Personally, I enjoy experimenting with food and creating new flavors. If people never thought outside the box, there would be no new things around!

Pizza is not the only food with unique flavors. I have noticed that Lay's in Taiwan often offers limited edition flavors, both sweet and savory. Even though I don't eat chips (crisps) myself, I often check their offerings when shopping just to take some pictures and share with family or friends how unusual food can be. Some of the more peculiar flavors they have had include strawberry, caramel, grape soda, instant noodles, truffle, and brandy duck.

And speaking of originality, we can't forget about strawberry stinky tofu!

UPDATE: 
Ideas for unusual food flavors do seem to get crazier and crazier each year. In 2023, we have seen several unconventional ramen flavors, such as frog, durian, and crocodile. There was even a durian hot pot! And just recently, a frog cake emerged. Sometimes I feel a bit scared about opening the news and discovering what other surprising food creations I'll come across. It can definitely be a wild ride of culinary experimentation and unexpected flavor combinations.
