I think you learn a lot about a place and a people by eating the food they enjoy (both everyday fare and special treats).Adrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310093293881368034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326684499444681565.post-21595456078345437802011-04-08T18:12:23.611-04:002011-04-08T18:12:23.611-04:00Here in Korea, the biggest the bug consumption get...Here in Korea, the biggest the bug consumption gets is eating bowls of boiled silkworms. The smell is like sawdust, but the taste is oddly reminiscent of Campbell's vegetable beef soup. The texture...? Soft little pops, then a lot of leathery grinding till its gone. <br /><br />Not something I would consider eating at home, but travel changes a person, right? ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326684499444681565.post-35575539576134285982011-04-08T09:41:43.139-04:002011-04-08T09:41:43.139-04:00@Porky -- Indeed, it tasted mostly like sugar, sal...@Porky -- Indeed, it tasted mostly like sugar, salt, and garlic. It was crunchy, like most fried food. Eating a fried shrimp or soft-shelled crab isn't too much different -- except we have an aversion to spiders and insects that borders on (and may even be) instinctual.Adrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310093293881368034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326684499444681565.post-48005706495965555732011-04-07T16:14:06.887-04:002011-04-07T16:14:06.887-04:00One part of me is truly grossed out, another part ...One part of me is truly grossed out, another part is curious.
