Here's a photo of me tucking into a local delicacy, a cricket! I was a little bit nervous before trying it but it actually tasted ok and I ate a second. It had a crunch to it that was no different to a potato crisp and the vendor selling them dusted them with some chilli powder and sprayed on a bit of fish sauce so they were quite tasty, if a little bit too fishy for my own tastes.
They lady that sold them did have a good laugh at the group of us that had brought them though. We were all taking photos of us trying them but eating insects here is no more unusual than seeing someone eating a packet of crisps in the UK.
Did You Know?: They say that if the world's population keeps growing so quickly it won't be many years before we are all eating insects. This is because they take up much less room than cattle etc., there are so many of them and they are actually really good for you (They contain a lot of protein).
