| fried field cockroaches |
One of my sisters visited Siem Reap, Cambodia recently. I thanked her for letting me travel vicariously through her and her husband. It is a 22 hour flight after all.
The photo shows fried cockroaches from the field as opposed to the ones in the houses. It is from the insect market in Siem Reap. You remove the head and legs and eat the body. At the insect market you can also get spiders, tarantulas, crickets and so on. My sister said a kid asked her if she wanted to hold a live tarantula but she declined.

Interesting,
I couldn't eat them
but they have a lot of protein!!
Have a nice day, Christine!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Oh dear
We have heard about Chinese people eating all kinds of animals and insects
I think it’s all about the food culture of any particular country
I´d pass. Both. But here you can get insect-burger at the supermarket. Not tried (yet). Reckon in the long run insects will be a real alternative to meat and veggie-products.
Oh, I think I might run from that platter. Although, I ate barbecued armadillo once, but I didn't know it at the time. It tasted like pork.
Your sister is braver than I am, Christine. Yuck!
Wonderful photo, though as a vegetarian, I'd pass. Well, I'd probably pass even if I wasn't, but it wouldn't be logical, lots of protein...
Uh, nope. Fortunately there are plenty of cows in Kansas. Linda
I wish you a wonderful weekend.
Healthy from what I gather. But not for me, I am a veggie!
It is important to try new things!
Haha Linda!
I think I'll skip these. :)
No thank you. I ate ants in a chocolate bar one time and I ate chips made out of cricket flour once.
I think I'll give these a miss!
All the best Jan
Wonder how they would work in the airfryer...haha. Crunch, Crunch. I've heard of chocolate covered grasshoppers, but never fried roaches!!!
Uy, te mando un beso.
It might be a delicacy
I think I wouldn' t eaten for long time, before I tried cockroaches.
It's a new knowledge for me about cambodian's food style
I'm sure if I were hungry enough I could eat them, but I'm glad I don't have to.
Haha Dora
Aaaack! NO thank you. Art ate a silkworm in China. I couldn't do it.
Yum! ;) Well, I guess some of the things we eat here, people would think a bit strange.
I did a post about Cambodia several months ago but never saw photos of those insects online. Ewww.
I could eat them and believe we all should just in case it becomes a necessity.
oh heck no. i like the post but not the bugs. But if a bug was disguised and in one of my Nature type fig bars and I would never know it, i would eat it.
