Eating a Grasshopper in Bangkok, Thailand
In: Uncategorized
4 Aug 2009Thats what it looks like when someone eats a grasshopper for the first time. It was really crunchy, and the little parts of the creature’s exoskeleton were hard to get out of my teeth. I was sober doing this, and tried to wash out the remains of the bug quickly with the last of my friend’s beer, but I still tasted grasshopper. I had fried “baby squid” the next day in Singapore, which tasted almost the same.
Some sort of larvae or worm.

My sister ate a live grasshopper. On film. She had it wave bye-bye to the camera first. (Eww.)

[...] Eunmi in bliss. The little brown things on the white plate were fried baby squid. I thought I ordered calamari. They tasted more like fried grasshoppers. [...]

Yum…have you tried the silk worms in Seoul yet? I’m not a fan. I ate one given to me to be nice. (No good deed goes unpunished, or something like that…)
My husband and I also had fried scorpions in Beijing. Surprisingly, they were quite good! They were crunchy and salty–like potato chips.
