NguuMuu Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Does anybody have (or can make) a list of edible insect in Thai script with the English names...at least the common ones. If you don't know the names, how many edible insects are there in all do you think? I'm talking about the ones you will actually see vendors selling on the street...stuff like scorpions, ants, crickets and I don't know the names of the others...that's why I'm asking! Sorry if I posted this in the wrong area...should it go in Thai Food? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NguuMuu Posted September 15, 2005 Author Share Posted September 15, 2005 Yes that does help. Thanks...I guess now I'll move over to the thai language section to ask for translations as some of these will not be appearing in any of my dictionaries.

Chainat1 Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 A friend of mine ate some in Phuket and had stomach problems. He went to see a doc (not pat pong) in the UK and was told him stomach couldn't digest them. The Doc advised not to eat them as they can cause Typhoid and Cancer. Any truth in that?
