Fear Factor South Bay style, or what are those Ethiopians complaining about? (Pics)
 

The lovely PamiebDVD's took me out to a luscious meal this evening, consisting of white sea worms, crickets and scorpions.

All in all . . . not too bad. Some things tasted better than others, but at least I know if I ever get stranded somewhere with limited resources, I will survive.

Here are a few mouthwatering pics.

I think I would have had to pass, and be out the door for a burger instead. :helpme

And I DON'T mean bug-burgers. :1orglaugh

I would, I love shark. :thumbsup

I would have to say the scorpions, although I did get a leg stuck in my teeth.

no thanks... i think i'll pass....

ah, no bug guts, no glory.

You probably find worse in your corn flakes.

I'm amazed at how many things are actually edible that we don't eat much of. I'd have to be one starving bastard to eat any of that.

I would have to go there too! Bugs just don't sound great to me.

I was sitting here thinking about what gets mashed up in hamburger meat. I used to be a meat cutter, and trust me, those crickets are probably a lot better for you than what you will find in your burger.

You sound like you make a better rep than a meat cutter then!


:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh


In Costa Rica I refused to eat the mystery meat they sell at the side of the road. I had a "Mexico burger" once when I lived in Escazu, I remember I picked out a foot long tendon piece out of the ground "beef" that was in it.


Disgusting meat down there!

I enjoyed cutting meat, but they don't like to waste stuff, so it all goes in the grinder.

Of course, I used filet mignon for my own hamburger meat.

The only problem is I don't know if I am picking bugs from my teeth because of dinner or the bike ride home.

why would someone want to actually pay to eat bugs ? I will pass and have a veal chop lol

then you worked at a fucking gross ass butcher then.. any decent respectable butcher doesn't do that shit..

You have no clue.

so because you worked at a sleazy butcher, every butcher is sleazy?

Go ahead and think whatever makes you feel better.

What was the group's reaction to you taking pictures of all the food?

i guess if i know its true, it will make me feel better...

What group are you referring to? The worms, crickets or scorpions? I don't think any of them cared.

The people you were with.

You never bit into a hamburger and got a piece of bone?

Does she look likes she minds?

Well sure she was smiling then, but how was she when you took the remaining 700 food pictures?

Your counting skills leave a little to be desired . . . but you can ask her.

nope, but i guess i get my food from a place that isn't infested with rats, and has people working with it who actually care about the food itself...

Okay, i'll check this thread in the afternoon. I must be sleeping now.

If its on a stick it MUST be good!!! :thumbsup

precisely

Dinner was really fun.

Didn't mind the pictures at dinner, in fact, there were several girls who thought the pictures were being taken of them and they liked it.

Can't say that the worms were my favorite.....

But, you've got to try everything at least once.

Wasn't it these girls that said, "thank you" as they walked by?

I eat bugs all the time in Thailand. They are quite good.

lol, as a matter of fact - yes, it was those girls

I think the sea worms were supposedly prepared "Thai Style"

They pretty much tasted like that Tetra-Min flake fish food smells. (Sorry for that - anyone who might be eating while reading this.)

Yummy.

The Thai people have told me that if you get a pregnant scorpion or water bug, it's like winning a min-lottery. :helpme

Dude, they just stopped feeding dead cows, to live cows.
There are some eerie things that happen in the meat industry.

I prefer my bugs, and worms cooked and hidden inside of a nice Pork Chop, or Rack of Lamb.
Anything else would need a shit load of "smoke", and a lot of hot sauce.

I concur!:thumbsup I grew up in Hawaii eating all kinds of things, and I'm for the ignorance is bliss concept. Although at a distant family member's house, one of my relatives gave me sage advice about the (filipino) food... stay away from anything in tomato sauce, you don't want to know what kind of meat it could be.

It all looked suprisingly appetizing! NOT Dodger's post tho... wtf is next to those sharks... mice kabobs???? :repuke

TAste like chicken ???



GROOOOSSSSEEEE

come on, it makes him feel better thinking what he thinks, let's not ruin it for him

Wow. I would have loved to try all that food. Some of the giant scorpions and bugs on sticks would have been maybe too much for me -- did you see the size of those suckers?!

But I think it's good to see the Baddog himself has got an open mind about different cultures foods and stuff. Wouldn't surprise me to know if he had a good outlook on life too.

All i can say is that he has more guts than i do. i would not eat that stuff.

and yes Baddog has a great outlook on life :thumbsup

wow.. i can't believe you ate that.. least you tried it once :)

R

I try to be experimental

Thanks buddy . . . . at least it wasn't raw.
