Eating insects in Thailand
-
Eating insects in Thailand[^] I have gotten over my original cultural aversion to insects and now eat them whenever I can. There is a Kohn Kan University study that concluded that they are 25% - 26% protein. It is fun to see the smiles and excitement on the local children's faces lining up to get a treat when I return from the market with a bag of ganope (locust in Khmer [picture #9]). Even the young babies line up, but I only give them the soft parts so they don't choke. My wife's Mom has taken to making special red ant egg (kai mot deng) dishes for me when the season is right. The neighbors know I like insects and send over cooked silk worms (caterpillars) for me when they harvest the silk. They are really tasty. I won't elaborate but the merchant lady's favorite is one of mine also. I never thought I would be eating these type of eggs but as it turns out they are really good.

I have seen them on TV (National Geographic). I have only eaten cooked insects, except for an ant or two that got into my food. :-D Have you ever tried them? What do they taste like? :confused:

Being a vegetarian and restricted egg user, the only dishes, I could dream here is: 1) Egg Puffs 2) Egg Omlette 3) Egg Plant (Brinjal in British English)
