      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.

          Well, it may have probably been about accidentally swallowing tiny gnats/flies/mosqitoes while walking thru cloud of them, or accidentally swallowing another insect in ones sleep. Roswell

                                    I believe you point to the Rose shaped Salmon (see picture on wikipedia) While at Heathrow airport few days back, I ordered Smoked Salmon. I hardly had one bite and pushed it in bin. I don't have appetite for this :)

                                      Do I need to remind you that it's a bot that you're talking to?

                                        And not a very intelligent one at that. At least Ananova's got a bit something about her.
