  • i dont think the asian guy minded eating the scorpian( no offence to asians)

  • dude that chick at the start is so hot

  • I have had fried scorpion and crickets when I visited Thailand. It's not so weird when you stop to think that there are bugs galore in our processed food that we eat everyday. As far as the fried scorpions and crickets that I had in Thailand, They were so good that it became addictive and I went back for more the next day.

    In Thailand they make a nice papaya spicy salad with your choice of dried shrimp or dried crickets as a topping... I chose dried crickets. Seemed like the thing to do. Yummy!

  • So in essence you are bringing the bugs to the campsite to eat? Its like bringing sand to the beach.

  • @whitespot86 She's a babe!

  • more power to them, I'd prefer a medium rare t-bone over a bug any day though.

  • not just you bro, she's gorgeous

  • is it just me or is that intern gorgeous?

  • agreed, they could use some descent cameras/mics and tripods.

  • whats with the faces...

    little children in switzerland have been eating bugs covered in chocolate for decades.

    its full of protein.
