Health department warns of cockroaches eating

[Carlos Primeros]

The bugs they sell on the insect food market are not cockroaches. These are swimmer beetles. That's a totally different kind of beetle.

Enjoy.....

You do a disservice to street vendors,  cockroach is never ever one of those high protein snacks.

I thought if you ate them with fish sauce they were ok?

 

Have other countries had to issue a cockroach eating warning?

Actually the well salted ones are good with a cold beer

I am sure I have seen them previously in the evening insect barrows in Soi 4 Sukhumvit. Along with grasshoppers and other bizarre insects.

That'd be "the roach coach"!

I did talk to a woman about this and she told me there is a huge difference in cockroaches from cities

that are found in sewers and unsanitary conditions and are not consumable and field/farmed cockroaches

from the countryside which are clean. Still not for me, but that was the explanation.
