watcharacters Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I admit on a bus from Phnom Penh to wherever we went, I did give to my lady's exhortations to try the leg of a grasshopper.. One leg and never again. Future generations are welcomed and encouraged to indulge in the health and environmental positive aspects of bug diets. I'll stick to my unhealthy Western diet as long as I can afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
