Interesting documentary on a fascinating subject.
Insect Eating in Thailand and Cambodia
Re: Insect Eating in Thailand and Cambodia
When I was a bit younger and spent my nights in Hua Hin drinking downtown, I often had a bag of the small fried crickets and actually got a bit of a taste for them.

Deep-fried tarantulas are a popular delicacy in Cambodia ... I didn't sample though, belly was bad enough as it was!

The insect stall at PaeMai is always one of the busiest stalls on the site. Silk worm larvae make a tasty protein substitute in all kinds of dishes, and bamboo grubs have better texture than a lot of durian.
For anybody who cannot afford the inflated tourist prices for all the local crustaceans (which are little more than sea insects really), some of the local bugs are a good budget alternative.
I saw a weaver ant nest on my soi the other evening. I honestly had no idea, and will steer a wide birth from now on!

Re: Insect Eating in Thailand and Cambodia
I get the whole ‘bug-eating’ thing. Hell, it might very well save the planet. What do I know? I will, however, say that the tarantula I ate in Siem Reap in 2016 will not save the planet. No way, no how. I wouldn’t eat tarantula again, even if it was served on a pizza pie.
