Entomophagy, Consumption of Insects As Food In Hat Yai

Consumption of insects as food by humans is normal especially in Thailand. While visiting the Klong Hair floating market in Hat Yai, there was a stall selling these deep fried insects on the roadside along the path towards the floating market which is just infront of the Siamese temple. It is a must to try on these deep fried insects when you are touring in Thailand. The insects I seen in the stall were huge grasshoppers, baby grasshoppers, beetles, cockroaches, worms, worms, and worms! Yes, the blogger is indeed afraid of worms especially when it comes to consuming it. No way! He took just baby grasshoppers only.

Which kind of insects or beetles you find it disgusting above? For the blogger himself, the worms, fat fat worms with the imagination of the juicy content inside the bodies of the worms being squeezed out in your mouth as you are munching them. EWWW! Well, the baby grasshoppers do tastes like egg yolks or protein powders that most of us have in our everyday life. At least it is worthwhile to give a try on the deep fried baby grasshoppers because they do not look as disgusting as the worms or huge insects do. Entomophagy, anyone?
