A Chinese food street which sells scorpions, centipedes and other fried insects has reopened after closing for 70 days due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Vendors at the daily night market in Nanning offer various snacks and dishes, such as grilled octopus, spicy crayfish, steamed dumplings and rice cakes.

But what it's most famous for seems to be its 'insect feast'. Stalls treat intrepid diners with all sorts of cooked bugs, from spiders to silkworms.

Locusts are kosher. I’ve eaten seasoned and fried locusts and they are pretty dang good, like peanut chicken, they taste.

I have had very palatable insects of all sorts.

If John the Baptist can eat insects, so can I.

It’s a fun challenge to try them. I have a cooked tarantula in a can for eating someday around family or friends. Honest!

If they are deep fried, shouldn’t be any microbes still alive. Insects are probably not as big a problems as eating unclean mammals would be, as the story says.

I wouldn’t eat there. I’d be afraid I’d catch a bug...

As freedomson noted, not all bugs are treif.

Me too. Kind of a nutty taste, but a little greasy.

Eating there gives you bug eyes like schiff.

When you have a billion plus population to feed... Pretty much anything that moves or breaths or has lived, at some point becomes a food source.
