Now, personally I hate bugs/insects/worms and will absolutely freak out when I'm near any one of those God-forsaken creactures regardless if they're still moving or being displayed on a satay stick. They're just gross!
Crawling Maggot has admit defeat in Round 1. Now, Flying Grasshopper will claim his reward by meeting the Gods in the Heavens.
Moments before I ate the grasshopper. Oh btw, that's McChef's mom in the background. She's probably thinking what a disgusting daughter-in-law I am.
The grasshopper:
The Maggot:
This one was, well, mentally tougher for me to eat. It may be smaller than the grasshopper, but still I had to be coaxed by McChef to try it out. "Just pop it in your mouth, chew, and it'll be over within seconds", he said. On the other, I had his mom going,"Eeehh gross! That's disgusting!"
After going back and forth about whether or not I should eat this worm, I finally caved and threw the damn maggot into my mouth. It was crunchy at first. Unlike the grasshopper (which was all crunchy), you can actually taste the maggot juice. Yeah, I know, it's fucking gross! Oh, and it doesn't end there. After you've swallowed the damn thing, you're left with a bitter aftertaste. Eeew double gross! I should've stuck to eating only the grasshopper, thankyouverymuch.
My verdict on this Thai delicacy? Let's just say I'm just gonna pass on seconds ;)

Lol! I too ain't gonna substitute my meat diet for these creepy crawlies. Kena makan seguni of grasshoppers baru boleh rasa kenyang ;)
Kuma:
Hehehe! It's really not that bad darling! ;)
No, no hanky-panky stuff :( Si jantan tu terlalu busy getting drunk at the wedding reception. I would've loved to receive a "new toy" instead of a box of grasshoppers though.
You are one BRAVE woman! Kudos to you. I'd rather starve to death than eat bugs ... LOL!
guess what, i've tried them both too! a colleague brought back those worms/maggots from bangkok and i almost barfed in the office. the taste was strong, yeap. i can attest to that. hated the way the taste lingered in my mouth for hours afterwards.
the crickets i tried in cambodia, and that's actually yummy! i also tried some black bugs that look like roaches. not bad, but i prefer the crickets ;)
if i was wasted, maybe i'd try those
Nick Phillips:
Must try everything at least once in life ;)
Banker:
You must've been starving to say that crickets are yummy! ;) lol!!
