Many people enjoy Thai food worldwide: spicy soups and salads, flavorful rice dishes are abundant. However in Thailand, fried or roasted insects and scorpions are also standard, available, and inexpensive.

Insects have historically been a wealthy source of protein, energy, vitamins, and minerals within the Northern Thailand diet. They're also prized as delicacies. Actually, it is unusual to seek out an insect which is not eaten in a single form or one other by native people. Among the many hottest are:

. cicadas, locusts, mantises, crickets, and grasshoppers which are all deep fried and are somewhat crunchy;

. bamboo worms, that are additionally deep fried;

. large water bugs, which are steamed; they are additionally floor into a paste with chili and eaten with sticky rice;

. weaver ants (pink ants with a painful chunk) and their eggs; sticky rice is dipped into a combination of ants, eggs, and chili;

. dung beetles; which add a healthful flavor to curries; nevertheless, many people won't eat them as a result of they live in and on excrement.

In addition, Thai people will eat

. the pupae of silk moths and different moths and butterflies; you must first remove the pupae from their cocoons, then boil them until tender with a pinch of salt, lastly saut?e them flippantly;

. the larvae of wasps and bees; these are deep-fried;

and arachnids:

. toxic scorpions, which are grilled; . large tarantulas, that are also grilled.

I have never seen different spiders eaten, but I think if it strikes, it is considered meals somewhere.

Also, termites (large white ants) are grilled and their eggs are a delicacy used to make a flavorful soup.

The place I lived in Bangkok, Sukhumvit Soi four, each night time starting around 5:00 PM, there was a street vendor with half a dozen kinds of fried and grilled bugs and scorpions; her customers have been mainly the bar ladies within the area. Every night time she was quite busy as the ladies take into account these bugs a tasty snack, and munch on them as incessantly as Western individuals munch on potato chips.

The lady vendor doesn't communicate any English, but will pose with her wares for a photograph if you happen to give her a 20 baht (about 60 cents) tip. And in the event you're courageous, you could always purchase a bag of deep fried bamboo worms...
