The Wildfoods Festival takes place in the old mining town of Hokitika on the west coast of the South Island. This year, the organizers are preparing for more than 23,000 curious visitors from all over the world, a 10 percent increase in attendance over last year's crowd. Each year, the chefs invent more and more exotic dishes, and you may need to have a strong stomach and be open-minded to try them. This year they are offering new dishes such as insect eggs, scorpions, and venison tongue. Last year's favorites are still available: kangaroo and emu steaks fresh from neighboring Australia, and of course, earthworms and snails. It's a country full of sheep, but don't expect to eat any of them here!
