Everything about Delicacies totally explained

This is a List of national delicacies. This list is sorted from where the food originated from.
   A delicacy is a food that's particularly prized within a given culture. Delicacies are often rare foods that are difficult to obtain or prepare, and as a result may only be served for special occasions. Often the rarity or difficulty to prepare a dish causes it to be comparatively expensive to other local foods.
   Certain delicacies may be normal within one culture but seem bizarre to others. Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern, a program on the Travel Channel, focuses on regional cuisine and delicacies from around the world.
