Fried Insects
Posted: 26th October 2005
I think one food item you always see a lot at the temple fair is the fried insects. Those crunchy things that taste a bit like burnt bacon. Fancy a grasshoper? No? Then why not try some fried baby birds? If you are feeling squemish, do not go to page two to see the close-ups!

| Anita | | personally, the fried cock roaches taste a little like chicken however, I would not make a meal of them.
Indio, California | | Lynn Ferris | | | On my first trip to Bangkok I did try the fried silk worm larva and the fried bamboo worm. I liked the bamboo worm the best. It had a nutty after-taste. The silk worm larva was alittle too bitter for my taste. I can't wait to try other insects. | | amandarya | | ahahaha aroi na!
hmmmmm pesticides? : X
oh well, i will onli live once : p | | Carl Parkes | | | I've never tried fried crickets in all my visits to Thailand, but I did read somewhere many years ago that the bugs are often harvested from fields which have been heavily polluted with bug insecticides, and that only a fool would eat a polluted bug. That was enough for me! | | Edwin Kime | | | Just in time for Thanksgiving in the USA. | | Jen | | | Eeeee... bugs... mai chawp mai chawp! I can't get over pests being a delicacy... (-...-) |
