well, quickly on in Beijing I got to complete another bucket list check box, eating scorpions. I was told there would be two kinds and one was good, the other not so much but i forgot which was which. So, naturally, i went for both types. The big black ones are really not that tasty. more of a crunch but not much flavoring. The little ones (which move very fast before being flash fried) are actually tasty, though it may just be the added salt. Where as the big ones were a crunch exoskeleton and not much meat, the little ones seemed to have more meat in them at least in a ratio per size. I know other people have eaten this item and lived, but there is something a bit scary about biting into an animal known for killing humans with one touch.
little scorpions, big ones too. starfish and sea horses. I think there were millipedes too, but i can't seem them here.
pre biting. a bit scared
snacking away, maybe not so bad
alright you big sucker, lets do this. also notice in the background the bigger larvae and millipedes.
scared... and.. not so tasty
quail (or baby birds?) roasting and some oysters in the background. I love street food :)
