Eating Strange Stuff in Southwest China
Filed in archive A World Away by Greg Cruey on September 6, 2009
If you're looking for a chance to try some exotic delicacies, perhaps a trip to Kunming China is in order...

I ate my share of strange things in my time overseas. I've spread yeast extract on my toast in lieu of butter (the Aussies call it vegemite). I've eaten fruit in Singapore that smelled so bad the hotels wouldn't let guests bring it inside (that would be durian). And I remember finding out in Penang that "chicken of the rice padi" (padi ayam) wasn't chicken (the Malay term is a euphemism for frog legs).

But I've managed to avoid being offered bugs as part of a meal.

Jeffrey Tayler at WorldHum has a fascinating article on some of the foods he tried in Yunnan Province, China. Included on his menu: a variety of insects...

Would you EAT this...?
