I can go for the chicken feet and the chili lime shrimp perogis, but no to crickets ‘n gravy fries.

Technically that would be a “cricket poutine” in the photo.

When I visited a Mongolian nomad family last year, they cooked a sheep head in my honor. I politely declined the eyes and brain.

I have to say, that tops the list of unusual snacks for me.

I don’t think I would ever try bugs.

There was a fad in the 50s of chocolate covered ants and french fried grasshoppers. A friend’s parents had leftovers from a party. We ate them. Not at all bad. The ants were like chocolate-covered raisins and french fried grasshoppers tasted like the French’s canned fried onions.

My son will eat anything. So for Christmas he got sour cream and chive dried crickets. He loved them. I couldn’t go there.

1. Sardines and crackers with Tabasco sauce and of course washed down with cold beer.

2. Vigorously pour Tabasco sauce in a small bag of Fritos. shake well. Nice burnin’ hot Fritos on the go is the result. I love em.

I remember my stepfather had a can of fried grasshoppers in the cupboard, back in the 60s-70s. As far as I know, that can was never opened.

I went in (RA) February of ‘69.

Got my all expense paid tour in 70.

[doorgunner69]

I still get ragged on for missing the “Summer of Love” and all.

Well, if you had a few piasters to spare, a poor semblance was available in-country.

[gundog]

The difference between “puke” and “ vomit. “

Tu-Do Street Girls they no like Vietnamee moneys.

You pay wit MPC.

One thing that I really love about China is all the different flavors of potato-chips that are available.













In the USA you will this one enormous isle with maybe ten different brands of potato chips, but only two or three flavors. In China, you will have a much smaller isle, but it will be packed with about 100 different flavors by 50 different companies.

I’ve eaten chocolate covered grasshoppers (tasty) and fried worms.

My car looked just like that - minus the kitchen

Oh, and mine was finished in gray fur.
On the outside.
Instead of paint.

It was a trendy 60s thing called Velvetex.
I hear they are poised for a comeback -
