Bugs

[Jockstar]

You know what i'm talking about. You get these guys and women selling these bugs to eat. You get silk worms, crickets, cocoons etc.

The question is. Do you like them? have you tried them?

Personally i love the crickets and also the silk worms. The're great with beer. What is everyone elses opinion on this? Just curious!

Have to say that while I don't agree with a lot of your posts you sure got this one right for me. I also love the crickets and silkworms, especially with a beer! In fact (weird), but my wife just set a plate of the fried crickets on my desk next to my computer. Great woman!

My Uncle in Thailand gave me the biggest grub I had ever seen and he said eat it I did and it was actually very good

[davethailand]

I have a four wheeled bug (beetle)

[Jockstar]

When i first moved to LOS. Many of my Thai friends thought they could freak me out by asking me to eat these. So to see the look on their faces when i was like. No worries and started eating more.

I've sent quite a number of photo's of me and my wife eating these "delights" to my Mother/Sisters and friends in the US and they all responded back with "Yuk, you really eat those things!"

Have to admit thought, I don't really like the big bug (looks like a big water beetle), but my wife loves 'em.

[Jockstar]

Haven't tried those big beatle things . Yet! Have you tried the scorpions? I'm still thinking about it.

Yes! It was my gf and her mates.

Can't say I have seen the scorpions (other than the live ones I have to avoid in my shoes sometimes). I reckon I'd try 'em though. And not exactly the same subject, but I still have never gotten myself up to the point of being able to eat the "barbecued" rats. And it's soon going to be the season for them (rice harvesting).

Very tasty! Especially the grasshoppers.

[Jockstar]

Many farang who come here hang around these stalls like excited kids. Taking pics and laughing. But if you ask them to try. Oh no i cant do that! If you just forget what they are and try you will enjoy them. Honest! Still they wont try. They take the pic with one in their hand as if they are gonna eat it. But never do. Sad. Live a little.

Also my when it comes to eating the grasshoppers and those big "water beetles", she specifically hunts thru the plate, looking for the ones that are fat with "eggs" inside. She says these are the most delicious.

I remember going digging for those cicadas. They burrow into the ground and you have to gradually dig down with a hoe or spade to get at them. I always dug too deep and ended up cutting the little buggers in half. When they were fried they had a very bland taste to them.

Grasshoppers are great fried with a sprinkling of salt. Tastes just like candy.

Hunting for them critters is horrible. On a dark night you have to go out into the fields and look for them clinging to rice stalks, quickly grab them then stuff them into an empty bottle. They were so spindly, spikey and horrible when I had them in my fist, the ones that I caught got an immediate release.

Urgh.

Have to say, i've been offered bugs many many times, doesnt matter how much people try.. i cant bring myself to eat one.

They just look aweful, its just not normal!

[Jockstar]

its just not normal!

Says who?

Whats normal?

Its like eating a nut. Try it after a beer or 2.

[Wolfie]

Even after half a dozen changs, i still cant eat one...

Many have tried, they all have failed

Oh! I see. With a macho sounding title of 'Evil Werewolf Moderator', the big bad wolf is afraid to eat an ickle likkle grasshopper?

They're all body anyway as the innards gets fried out of 'em.

Come round to our house sometime and I'll introduce you to the delights of scrambled spiders legs and tadpole tits. mmmmm.....lovely.

[Wolfie]

Its not fear Gazza, its more a nauseating repulsion

[Sulaphat]

Grasshoppers are my favorite.

[Jockstar]

I dont like those littel cocoon things. Dont know what they call them in Thai but my ex said it basically translates to cocoon. I can eat them. But the after taste is not the best. The silk worms are great but not much to them. I agree with others. The crickets are the best. Though i have had big grasshoppers in ChangMai and they were pretty good also.

[Narachon]

I have not had the pleasure of eating any bugs in Thailand so far.

I don't think I'ved gotten to that point yet....

[sua yai]

Havn't eaten the grasshoppers, beetles yet, but would do so. One local delicacy I did enjoy was a soup made out of the red, flying tree ants in Buriram. Apparantly, they come out once or twice a year and a net is spread over the tree to catch them. Yummie.

[siamruby]

I like the grasshoppers too but will never ever try the silk worms,after all they are worm like things and I hate anything that look like worms and maggots yuk...

[Jockstar]

Try them. you will enjoy. Have a beer or 2. The silk worms are nice

[Ken]

Here's a plate of those big "beetles" my wife just cooked up. She threw them live into a pan of boiling water to cook them. I asked her about the "cruelty" of this kind of death and she said she "prayed to Bhudda" while she was cooking them. hmmmmm.

[Covertjay]

If you like Thaibugs then has anyone tried the Huhu grub or Whiciti grub that Maoris and Aboriginals eat. The big nutty flavoured suckers........

I thing the local bugs are blander.........and how much DDT do they contain??
