fried scorpions! red ant larvae! water beetles!

I think I once saw an article about huge spiders (like 8 inches across huge) roasted with rock salt and garlic, although that may have been from someplace else.

Shrimp, crabs and lobster aside, I have only dined on bugs by accident. How about you?

lived in magic pieland for years, and have eaten all manner of insects.

the grasshoppers, deepfried and brushed with fish sauce, are
especially toothsome.

the spiders you're thinking of are from snuol, cambodia, by the by.

my mouth waters just thinking about them, i tell you what...

Dude, it's like scorpions aren't crunchy enough already, but then you go and FRY them, OMG.

I've had grilled grasshoppers and bee larvae. Both weren't bad.

Not insect related (well, ask the health inspector, I guess) but would you eat HERE on a dare?
