EATING GRASSHOPPERS IN CAMBODIA

Siem Reap, Cambodia was on my list of places to visit while being in South East Asia. Known for their particular type of street food at night, I decided I was going to try a few of their norms.

My options were: Black Spiders, Worms, Grasshoppers, Snakes, Scorpions, and Frogs.

As seen in my video below, I hardly but only tried one of the above. The Grasshopper! Now I’m not even sure if it was a Grasshopper or Cricket. Nevertheless, I tried an insect ….YUCK! At least thats that you would think. It didn’t taste awful at all, it was really sweet and dry. I kinda liked it. But would I snack on it like they do, probably not. 

Opening up my appetite to try something new, I decided to eat at a restaurant called Khmer BBQ, where I would prepare my own meal. I had Frog legs, Crocodile, Chicken and Bacon. I was amazed at the Frog Legs. They tasted just like Chicken! It was too good, and would most likely eat it again if I’m no longer a Pescatarian. I liked it that much. I don't even think I can tell the difference between Chicken and Frog Legs.
