Exotic Thai Food
We came across these exotic Thai food at a local night market in Phuket Town. It was right before supper time, and my appetite was instantly boosted when I saw these "tasty" creatures :p. Not only did I have to snap a few photos of them, but I also tried those oily crunchy legs and heads...NOoooo, I'm just kidding.

There is Gross and then there is Gross. LOL
Be safe...
This reminds me of my home market in Sisaket in isaan! My mom would get a bag of each kind of insect and we'd eat them before meals - like appetizers! My husband has tried rice bugs but that's all. Thai food is the best! :P Joy
Lora, yes they are GROSS...and yummy right Joy? :P
With all due respect :) I am not hungry at the moment, thanks.
oh my god .....so disgusting..but I like your new blogstyle..
Yeah, the appetite of the Thais for something crawling and insectious is only beaten by the Chinese.
;-)
I'd like to think when I get to Asia I'll be able to eat some new creatures, however sitting here at home in the US where I'm so use to processed and packaged foods, it's a long shot!
Dave, I know what you mean. totally understand. Being Chinese Canadian myself, I thought I could eat just about everything, but when I saw those deep fried creatures, my appetite was completely ruined. But these probably taste a bit better than the live ones that people eat on Survivor.
Thai food is my absolute favorite and I have been to Thailand on several occasions (I used to live in South Asia). I am disappointed that I have never tried these b/c really - don't you just think that would be such fun dinner time conversation?
It looks like something from Fear Factor. :)
