INSECTS ON THE MENU
Humans have a long history of eating insects, and it turns out that they can be a very nutritious part of a
person’s regular diet. Insects have a lot of protein, and they are often easier to catch than prey animals.
Therefore, it is no wonder that when our ancient ancestors saw some tasty worms or grubs wiggling on the
ground, they made a quick snack of them.
In Thailand, insects are a regular part of the street food that can be found. The different insects that people
snack on are crickets, grasshoppers, giant water bugs, and assorted worms. They are often deep-fried and salted,
so they have a crunchy texture that makes them a perfect snack food. If you can getpastthe fact that you are
eating a cricket, it will crunch in your mouth just like a corn chip!
For a lot of people, however, it is difficult to get over the fear of eating insects. People tend to see insects
as invaders, especially when they are crawling on the food that we are about to eat. Therefore, being able to eat
insects without feelingdisgustedis cultural. Some people cannot eat French cheese or stinky tofu because they
weren’t brought up doing so. To many of us, insects fall right into that category, making it difficult to even try
them.
If given the chance, though, be courageous. Insects can be nutritious and tasty, so long as you can get over
the “yuck” factor.
