Fugu
Prohibited in: United States and Europe
Reason: Can lead to death
There are not many foods in the world that can kill the person who eats them if they are not perfectly prepared. But there is at least one thing: fugu. Fugu is a pufferfish dish that was made famous worldwide in 1991 by an episode of “The Simpsons”. There are still specially trained “fugu chefs” and customers crazy enough to play a little Russian roulette with seafood – just not in Europe or most of the United States. The toxins in fugu are more than 1,000 times more deadly than cyanide.
