A delicacy is a usually rare or expensive food item that is considered highly desirable, sophisticated or peculiarly distinctive, within a given culture. Irrespective of local preferences, such a label is typically pervasive throughout a region. Often this is because of unusual flavors or characteristics or because it is rare and/or expensive compared to standard staple foods. Delicacies vary per different countries, customs and ages. Flamingo tongue was a highly prized dish in ancient Rome, but is not eaten at all in modern times. Lobsters were considered poverty food in North America until the mid-19th century when they started being treated, as they were in Europe, as a delicacy. Some delicacies are confined to a certain culture, such as fugu in Japan, bird's nest soup (made out of swiftlet nests) in China, and ant larvae (escamoles) in Mexico. ==Delicacies== * Abalone * Akutaq 〔 ISSN 1044-6613〕 * Ambuyat – A delicacy of Brunei〔 * Bao yu (Abalone) 〔 * Balut 〔 * Bird's nest soup * Black-headed gull eggs 〔 ISSN 0169-7544.
