    The small crickets are pretty tasty, rather like snacking on chips/crisps, crunchy. It's the big ones i keep clear of, anything gooey like that turns my stomach.

    Actually, that's a lie. There was no "only" time when I was piling it on with the showbiz whizz, little fellas, Y and eye when I was in Thailand.

    And it was fucking great.

    You can buy crunchies and dime bars in Villa


    I always wondered how all those insects met their death and thought insecticide or Somchai working his way through a load of buffalo shit

    I guess someone must be breeding them for the purpose?

    We go out into the rice fields between planting,at night with torch or head light. Just pick them up one by one, needless to say i was hopeless at it, the missus would catch 10 to my 1, and all the flying bugs would swarm to me so i gave up and went home, maybe it was my white skin?

    Who’s to say what weird is? Things I once thought were strange are now just...meh. I thought my friends were playing a joke on me first time I ate sashimi!

    I’ve eaten candied crickets, horse, and reindeer in Japan,

    those little live shrimp, pork blood, raw pork, ant eggs, tiny whole frogs, bee/wasp larva still in the comb, various fried grub and dried, stinking, eel in Thailand,

    juice from a smashed crocodile in a jar and bat in Indonesia,

    zebra, wildebeest, and camel in Kenya,

    cat soup in China.

    Best was the reindeer, which was done Mongolian style. Wow!

    Worst was the bat. It came in a small dish with a strong smelling green sauce. I can’t even describe how awful. Come to think of it, I did NOT eat it. It never made it into my mouth as just the smell put me off. Oops. Bat was the worse thing ever served to me.

    So, the worst thing I’ve eaten is raw sea urchin in Japan. That cat soup in China was pretty awful, too.

    Zebra is a bit like horse . . . and if you haven't had horse then it's kind of a sweeter beef.

    Reading the above culinary delights, I have decided that I am very unambitious when it comes to food.

    The only thing I've had in Thailand were boiled silkworms ... sort of taste like so-so soggy peanuts.

    I guess living in Isaan you get so used to being given this stuff that it doesn't feel like 'weird' any more.

    I'm regularly given these little twists of boiled and fried pigs intestine to snack on while I'm drinking my Leo. Or maybe little chunks of barbecued cows udder.

    When I first arrived I tried all the usual stuff... boiled and barbecued bats, frog stir fry, insects and the like. I rarely eat this stuff these days... it's not that I'm squeamish about it but just find it such hard work to eat, with all the bones and bits and pieces. And with insects all I can taste is the cooking oil.

    The first time my wife gave me her steamed egg dish I spent ages picking out the ants and ants eggs, until she told me they were part of the recipe.

    When my daughter was young she thought nothing of munching on those big water bug things, but she won't eat them now. I guess that's the western influence of her school. It's interesting that kids will naturally eat this healthy stuff and then 'learn' not to.

    I tried snake soup in Malaysia but have never knowingly eaten it in Thailand. The next time my dogs kill a decent sized rat snake in the garden I plan to cook it up and make a belt. Maybe a thread of the future. I was once given Lao Khao with cobra bile. It's supposed to put lead in your pencil but just made me feel like throwing up.

    Probably the worst thing I have eaten was live slug. Many years ago as a student I fell asleep in front of the telly after a heavy night out. Unbeknown to me, my 'housemates' put a slug on my face and were having bets as to which hole it would crawl down. Apparently it eventually slid into my open mouth, never to be seen again. I guess I must have swallowed it.

    Who needs friends like that?

    ^ Yeah, that's the ones.

    The males or females, I forget which, have a strong distinctive flavour and are also used in the jungle curries.

    The live shrimp are nice if the sauce down on the pet, a restuarant(thai style) in the mueang does a dish with the blood and raw meat and some herbs, turned my nose at it until the missus made me taste it, delicious, with sticky rice but just a few spoons.

    My wife likes these things, They fly into our property to the fluro light for about a week in June at around 1000- 0100hrs easy to catch from behind but keep your fingers away from the pincers, they decapitate their roomates overnight. Attachment 63428

    Raw pigs liver.

    I was watching a pig being killed and cut up for a family gathering. The men doing the killing decided to have a laugh at my expense and offered me some raw warm liver with a spicy sauce dip. Obviously they knew/know farangs don't eat uncooked meat. So's not to be the butt of their fun I took it and ate it. It took the smiles of their faces. The only thing I won't eat in Ting Tong land is fermented fish. Everything else not a problem.

    Edit. Yeah. One other thing I won't eat is cows placenta. Very expensive around where I live.

    That ^ is probably the most exotic thing that I have eaten.

    Early in my marriage my wife was trying to figure out what I would and wouldn't eat. Crickets - ok, grasshoppers - ok, BBQ rats - ok, but too many bones, crocodile - a bit chewy, but otherwise good, it tasted rather like frog in fact. So, she tried feeding me this rather foul soup. When I asked what I was eating, she described what it was. Cow placenta!

    If a slug really did crawl into your mouth, Mendip, you're lucky things didn't turn out much worse.

    If it moves or grows - all fair game.

    Some just don't know what they're missing.

    I concur with misskit regarding bat though. That definitely is one to swerve.
