Very popular all over S.E. Asia. The school kids prefer the grubs as after-school snacks, and the adults like the crunchy salty ones when drinking beer. Our housekeeper/cook was a big jolly woman who always had a bag of grubs in the pocket and munched on them all day long. When she first started working for us, she brought some for us, and to be polite we did eat some. Very, very sweet, but I prefer Baklava. I ate fried grasshoppers, which tasted like salty burned popcorn. BUT I WILL NOT EAT SPIDERS! Here's a snapshot I took at one of the local street markets. Photographing them was more satisfying than eating them...
