Eating bugs

At this time of year, the north of Thailand occasionally gets large swarms of bugs, that arrive in the towns and, well, die everywhere. They're called muenman and are a real delicacy. At the center, because we're really close to the forest, we have been visited by these bugs quite regularly, much to the delight of all the children. We've had quite a few evenings bug hunting, bug collecting, bug frying and bug eating. And you know, they are quite tasty. You fry them in oil and a little salt and they just taste a bit like crisps. Crunchy, and a bit addictive. Mmmm.
