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.

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

Now this must taste weird. But I think it is still better than having a living worm in the mouth X|

Good point. I was picturing myself a bear eating a freshly fished salmon :)

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 :)

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

My wife makes an ant egg omlette of sorts. There are other ingredients also but a good helping of red ant eggs. Yum! :-D

I have always had them cooked in some way or other. Boiled in soup, steamed, curried, roasted or deep fried. The eggs are also included in things like omlettes or various chopped meat dishes. Once you loose your cultural aversion to eating them they become a normal ingredient in food preparation. PS - eating insects is not my most daring cross culture culinary venture but to describe what that is would probably sicken most westerners. :-D
