Bugs, bugs

I have finally had a moment to sort throught the first Thailand images from my recent trip. These are certainly among my favorites. This street vendor was selling many different variety of cooked bugs. I tried some of the large grasshoppers. They were really flavorful, seasoned with what tasted like soy sauce. They had a good crunchy texture too. The only drawback was the legs are really stringy and can get caught in your teeth.

    @ Zetsubou: I thought it should have been fish sauce, but they really tasted like shoyu flavoring! My tongue was totally fooled.
