"Dorilocos" (or "tostilocos", or any variation on the theme) are Mexico's crazy after-school snack. It's a bag of Nacho Cheese Doritos topped with pork rinds, hot sauce, gummy bears (?!), jicama, cucumber, carrots, peanuts, lime, and chili. If it sounds like flavor overkill, it probably is — but it's apparently a national favorite.

You've got to be bold to take a bite out of a scorpion, but people seem to love the crunchy, salty flavor of the killer insects. Considered a delicacy in China, they apparently taste rather like crunchy potato chips. Fried insects are popular in many countries: the spider variation in Cambodia is supposed to be good, too. 

Completos in Chile

A "completo" is just a hot dog in a bun — but served up with ketchup, mashed avocado, and the kicker, a hearty helping of mayonnaise. Despite the unorthodox toppings, it's a delicious street snack beloved by Chileans and tourists alike.
