So last night, I finally plucked up the courage (or drunkenness) to eat one of the fried insects you see at food stalls around Bangkok.
I can report that they taste exactly as you would expect them to.
Yuck.

You must be crazy. When passing by, I always wonder who actually eats those because I never see anyone actually buying them, except for some curious falang like yourself :)
Excellent blog btw!
Ha, thanks! Crazy, hopefully not – drunk, certainly!
They’re mostly eaten by those gold old Issan folks, as I understand it. When times are hard on the farm, any source of protein will do. And I guess they get hooked on the little critters, hence the demand for them on the streets of Bangkok, even though “proper” food is plentiful here…
…by proper food, you mean a big mac and fries no? or perhaps that egg mc muffin you were laguishing over a while back?
..fried insects…
…idiot.
