I am going abraod, to vist asia mostly and i have been thinking, should I try insects as food? |
Travel Info I mean do they taste as horrible as your mind imagines? Help!? :S Travel Tips Yes. I always found it funny how many Americans I saw at the Hard Rock cafe. They where there doing the same thing they could do at home. I was there getting some things my buddies had asked for. Anyway, why go to a country and not try out some of the local customs? I found my self eating horse...or maybe donkey one day in China. Another time I found myself drinking wine that came from a big vat that had a dead snake in it. My host thought it was great that I was willing to try their food and truly experience their culture. Beside how do you know you will not like it. It was because I chose to step out side of what is considered the norm that I gained a truly "Cultural" experience during my travels. Others eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... i would NEVER try them! even if they paid me $1000000000000000 Yes. Please eat mosquitoes until you are about till you think you're gonna pop. by imaginig they are horrible they probably will.i've eaten them both raw and cooked. raw as a survival tool and cooked for fun. neither was horrible.but i didn't have the mindset that they were. try em. why not ? they said it's healthy and taste good - a bit crunchy and spice a bit ;) Now who told you that Asians eat insects. Asians are light years ahead of the rest of the world when it comes to food and culture. They are more refined and sophisticated than Occidentals If you are looking for insect dishes go to Africa or Mexico as they say, "when in rome". some places, particularly in asia and southeast asia, they serve insects or bugs as food. often times cooked in butter, soy sauce or with salt. they are usually crunchy and look worse than they taste. some i might even say were pretty decent. my mom grew up on eating grasshoppers that they'd catch and cook with butter. she said it wasn't bad. it depends on how open of a mind you have and how picky of an eater you are. most of the stuff won't upset your stomach unless you have an especially sensitive stomach. so i say give it a shot. at the least it'll make for a good story. have fun on your trip! |
