The fried scorpions and crickets actually look pretty good. Insects supposedly have more protein than most meats.

Nice Pics Where do people actually eat scorpions? I figure you would die if you ate one. Thats my ignorant North Dakota attitude showing though I guess.

I can hardly look at a scorpion, yet get close enough to even touch one - dead or not. Looks horrible but good pics!

So, I take it you're a big drinker? (I'm not saying that you're an alcoholic) Would you know that you were eating those if you weren't sober?

Ack. I'm usually pretty brave when it comes to trying new dishes, but I don't know if I could muster the not-so-proverbial guts to try these!

Brave man!
