That was really really strange. I also checked the source code on your page and it should work. Maybe it's some extension that you have that clashes with it.
I tested the theme you have with lightbox and it worked. So it could be some other add-on perhaps.

Haha. Fiiii phase how disgusting! 🙂
But yes. I am not surprised. There's a lot of nasty food out there in the world that you come across when travelling 🙂.
Have you tried fried tarantulas in Cambodia? Disgusting!
I think I will write a post about it. Now I was inspired 😉
Yes, Bounce is really good! Have only been to them once before but it will be great fun to go again. Too bad they are closing down 🙁

But why aren't kalakukko or surströmming on the list of the world's most disgusting foods? Surströmming is one of the few dishes that can make you sick, right?
