Cambodia serves exotic food as delicacy, wanna try?

I guess I missed this show but it does sound interesting. I have been to Cambodia but I was not adventurous enough to try any of the exotic food. My cousins were really into the tarantula and they tried to get me to eat it but I couldn't. I think the most exotic thing I've ever eaten is balut. It's a boiled fertilized egg (usually duck) with an embryo inside. Apparently it's very popular in Asian countries. But I've eaten everything except the embryo before. It's actually not too bad when you dribble some lemon/pepper sauce on it.

I've never had the opportunity to try things like tarantula, however, when I was in middle school, one of my science teacher brought in some chocolate covered bugs and was willing to share them with students if they were able to get parental permission. Well, my mother worked at the school and told the teacher to make sure and have me try them. So, I had the opportunity at 12 years old to try chocolate covered grasshoppers. I have to admit that it wasn't bad at all and I would do it again given the opportunity.

hi syoti I am sure some foods are delicious but tarantula and bugs is not going to do it for me as the idea is already making my tummy turn over just thinking about it. Seafoods yes, tarantulas and bugs no no no. Maybe cambodian fruits and veggies that might be really good but not bugs.

To be honest, bugs don't look very appetizing to me. I prefer fruit. When they eat bugs, do they eat them fresh or do they cook them? Are they delicious without spices? No, I think I'll skip this banquet of bugs. Do you have any fresh fruit?

wow...i don't think i have that courage. i am kind a picky in trying a new food. i have to see the ingredients first before i can eat it

I remember when I was very young, my father and i had frog but I don't remember the taste anymore. Now, I don't want to try exotic food.

hi syoti, am a person with a very weak stomach. sometimes i only see the exotic food offered and there i run to the john because my stomach somersaults. it is really very embarassing. i just have this feeling that these food like bugs even if already cooked still crawls on my throat. uhhhhhhhhhh!!! but my father used to tell me that i have eaten fried rice field frogs when i was little. iiiiiiwwwwwwwwww!!! ann

ahah syoti i never tried to eat that really but i dont think i could try that ahah i would feel disgusted just thinking that i would be eating an insect. i dont like insects and even afraid to kill them i am even more to eat ahah i couldnt just touch it and eat like is a normal food ahah i couldnt just try that even if i wanted to.
