Foods You Probably Won't Try Ever!

I'm going to tell you about some foods that are eaten around the world, none that I have tried nor ever would, but are eaten by millions of people on this planet.  Why do they eat these mostly insects, that most of us would never touch? Price.  They're abundant and for the most part, free.  Many of these foods are eaten in poor areas of the world.  They'll eat anything to stay alive, and eating these creatures proves it.

Fried spiders are eaten in Camboida.

Witchitty grub is something indigenous Australians in the desert ate as a staple.  Raw, it tastes like almonds, and lightly cooked, when skin crisps, it tastes like roast chicken.

Escavol is also known as "insect caviar" in Mexico.  It is edible larvae and pupa of ants.

Becondegi is from South Korea.  They're silkworms.  It's a popular snack sold from street vendors throughout South Korea.

Sago Delight is bug from South East Asia.  It's creamy when eaten raw, and tastes like bacon when cooked.

Stink bugs are eaten in Africa.  They used to flavor stews or eaten raw.

Mopane worms from South East Asia are usually dried or smoked, then rehydrated with tomato or chili sauce to flavor the worms.

There are many other exotic insects eaten throughout the world, but I'll never know if these descriptions are accurate or not.  I don't plan to try any of them ever!  Maybe you're braver than I am.
