Bangkok night market

[topstud]

On vacation here in Thailand, went out with a group to a night market in Bangkok.

Behold some local delicacies

Grasshoppers, worms, scorpions, etc.

I got dared to eat some, but NO FUCKIN WAY

So Zooville... would you eat ze bugs?

Id try some if they were in some kind of sauce or with something else to eat alongside

You're a braver man than me lol. I suppose I'd eat them rather than die of hunger, but EUGhhHHH.

I did end up trying liver for the first time though, it was delish actually

Would and have, not really my thing, but I was open to trying it.

For those people who think they never would eat a bug, red food dye is often made from beetles.

Fried caterpillars, they tasted like cardboard fried in peanut oil, so not bad, just not something I'd pay money for again unless I was either starving or introducing someone else to them.

Spoiler

The only real downside was the larger ones would pop when bitten and dischagre a bit of goo, that was offputting.

You're a braver man than me, I thought about it, then thought they'd probably, y'know, behave as mentioned, then thought naahhhh
