Bugs Are Tasty

We did it. We finally tracked down some tasty bugs. We thought we'd have run into some Tasty Bugs long before now since this whole region is well known for them.

We had arranged to visit our driver's family in the country and as part of this we offered to bring lunch. He took us to a market just outside his local village and there they were; stacked high in abundance. They had been fried in oil,were mildly spicy and sold by the can full. (I tried one on the spot after our driver popped one into his mouth)

After a very nice walk around Toho's rice farm later in the day we opted to put Colby, Quinn and Levi to the test. It was time to eat bugs. Just as we were stunned by how easily they handled the grossly over sized spiders a few days back, our children amazed us as each and every one popped a bug back, chewed it up. They were all surprised at how they were not the worst thing they'd ever tasted. I'm sure they'd go for bugs before broccoli! Next on the menu - snake.
