The latest trend to take the food scene by storm has officially landed – and it involves putting a dollop of a common cooking oil into your morning coffee. Starbucks has announced that it will soon be debuting a range of olive-oil infused drinks in 20 stores across Italy, with plans to bring the quirky beverage to the UK later in the year.

While the drinks are currently only available in Italy, Dubai residents need not be disappointed – the emirate is brimming with its own share of bizarre gastronomic delights.
