 | Did you taste fried locusts and scorpion? I guess that many of you did not taste it because you had doubts whether they could be eaten. Of course, and these dishes are quite expensive. The yellow mealworm is about 48 to 60 yuan per kilogram and the scorpion, 300 to 400 yuan per kilogram. Do you want to try some insect-based dishes?  |

| I would give it a try, I am the sort of person who tries anything once. On my recent trip to China I had silkworm and they were nice. |

| Fried or boiled silkworm Davec ? I heard fried are much better... I went to dinner with a very poor farming family out in the countryside. They went to a lot of trouble to make a special meal for me and one of the dishes was boiled silkworms. They were boiled in their cases - with nothing else. I have to say I was "obliged" to eat one - very much against what all my instincts were telling me - and it tasted of nothing. I did eat the case too, which I was told afterwards I should have spat out. But I was way to eager to get the whole lot out of my mouth as quickly as possible. What was truly disgusting was the way it kind of "burst" in my mouth. The thought of it and the texture were far worse than the taste. I don't intend to try them again. A lot of insect food is a gimmick. The scoprions are much cheaper on the night markets in Beijing.... Some people will eat anything if it's expensive. |

| I wouldn't mind trying the scorpion and a few of the others but I draw the line at cockroaches! |

| I wouldn't try any insects though they are nutritious. WHile seeing them, I nearly throw up let alone tasting them. |
