I'm not sure if I could eat a cricket, though. I don't even like thinking about that one... hahaha this is great…I’m going to Thailand in the fall and you’ve inspired me to try some bugs while I’m there.

My Vietnamese coworkers and I ate two big plates of them (chased with some rice wine). I bought some later from they guy with the bug cart on Khao San Road and they were horrible. I couldn't even finish the bag I bought for 20 baht. I tried grasshoppers in Mai Chau Viet Nam and they were much better than I thought, actually they were pretty good.
