Check out my channel for lots more Thailand food and travel videos. Bugs, insects and worms are actually quite tasty and I do eat insects as food on a semi-regular basis.

WOW. That's the most silkworms I've ever seen in one place! This must be Phuket, yeah? I know, I could look in the descrip. The palm grub you ate was great. I've never seen them at a market. I did find some in a dead palm tree and will do the video here as soon as I can find 5 hours to edit… but yeah, they're about the most disgusting thing I can think of here to eat. Except tarantulas. Have you had the pleasure of those babies yet Darren?
Eating bugs is such an odd thing.
Some cultures regularly eat all sorts of insects.
Just like we would eat some potato chips in the afternoon…or buy a hotdog from a food truck; other people would instead grab a bag of chocolate covered ants…
Or while out with the family; they’ll buy some MAGGOTS, grubs, crickets, wasp larva, other kinds of larva, beetles, grasshoppers, cicadas….etc. (that are still alive…or cooked/fried/dipped in all sorts of ways. Lol as we clearly see in this video)
(Random but…others even eat dogs & cats)
What one culture sees as disgusting, uncivilized or inhumane…another sees as completely normal.
Oooo that looks good
Dude, you make this stuff look good. I’m surprised. A right bit of charisma and interest can really pull people into this video. Thanks
Do you not make any more videos?????
No time wasted. 🙂 Thanks for showing of this disgusting food!
Cover them in chocolate, then sell them for a pretty penny 😉 no joke.
If they would sell these in Europe, would like to try you never know, we eat shrimps too..and they are like cockroach of the sea.
🤢🤮
Just can't watch it, eating 🐛
Andrew Zimmern but it’s not him
Oh no No 😨 nope oh no nah no thank 🤢🤢 Nope. No Thank. Do God bless food like that.
This video cracks me up
wtf
Clean waters green fly over sea wise
I wouldn't eat it
🤢🤢
Cow ,chicken , seafood be like: wtf is wrong with us💔
I genuinely love insects, but I’d rather die than eating them lol
Why’ve you got a coke nail
I feel sorry for people that are afraid to try unusual food. They will go through life missing some great flavors, sure you will find somethings you don’t like but overall you will be richer for adventuresome eating
Were there bugs baked
Thank God though I can have quality chicken at 6-7$/kilo
I love mealworms. I’d definitely get a bag of those first. The silkworms looked pretty good too
Evil dead
Only Bug I will ever eat is Coconut Worm
As i am watching this i am thinking to myself, why am i enjoying binge watching someone eating a bag of bugs that i will likely not eat?
Slimy yet satisfying!
Darren, Good evening. Read your notes on being a public school teacher. Such a bummer I missed that opportunity. Mark Wines, Sonny Side, The Food Ranger all started out as school teachers. They went for the job and stayed for the food. What an opportunity. Your videos are especially interesting because you are acting as a family. That's great. I have 7 kids, 18 grand kids and one great grand son. Cool but its not traveling . So many interesting foods you encounter. Those night markets are so fantastic I could wander around them forever. By the time I get an assortment of bugs from Amazon they are freeze dried tasteless crap. Jack fruit, Durian and some others are wet packed and do have some taste. BUT I would love to try a Giant Cricket, Red Grasshoppers, Coconut grubs, Silk worms pupa. It all looks so different and likely delicious. My daughter sent me a brownie mix made with 50% powdered crickets. I made them up and they were delicious. I served my wife Jan a big brownie and after she ate it I gave he r the box the mix came in to read. In a few moments she realized what was in the mix and she did not talk to me for a week. LOL My daughter and I busted up over it.
Make it a great day Darren!
CB Over and out
Hahahaha 😂🤣😂
Remember, rich people don't eat bugs. Think about that.
Mealworms taste 100% like pork rinds but they get stuck in your throat so you need something to drink
For now I will stick to eating beans of all kinds and wild caught fish with some vegetables.
Kind of KFB "Klaus schwab Fried Bugs". and This is what World Economic Forum want from people to eat.
These things taste very good, but salty.
Fun feel the wind night light dark feel nice
You could blend them all up add eggs, rices, beans, grains, seasoning. Aslo thought predigest the bugs woth tarantula venom amd then use renon and reconstitute the liquid protein after staining, its like bug tofu cheese. Then get food more palatable. Best bugs; Honey ant, butter grub, mana bug, locust, ant larva, honey bee larva, silk worm, and june bug all added with tarantula. Aslo dung Beatle if only eat elephant scat and bat guano only. Anyone have ideas?
Hoax for tourists they dont eat that
The way they are prepared there actually makes most of them look delicious. Most of the world has ate insects since forever, as it is such an easy, clean and nutritious food source. As much as I love my meat, when you think about how it is produced with horrific slaughter houses and the resources and waste involved, suddenly eating insects like a huge portion of the world does already seems not only sensible, but infinitely more humane and efficient. I would love to try them prepared like this, with yummy Thai seasoning.
Probably the best bug video in terms of verity and description of tast.
As long as there are no cockroaches!
Man, are still alive after all this deleciuos food?
finally a white person whos not afraid of good food
if you can eat shrimp then you csn probably eat insects
You make me hungry, I am thai and impossible to find these kind food in usa.
This guy is a warrior.
More.videos of eating bugs pelase
I would definitely invite him for dinner, just for the compliments.
Fun fact: Patunga grasshopper is an alien invader in Thai ecosystem, they're not native. ~37 years ago the immense plague of locusts swarmed in from Cambodia and started annihilating Thai crops. A lot of measurements were brought up against and most of them failed until some one got a bright idea of catching and selling the locusts themselves as food for even more benefit than the crop itself. Fried bugs were invented for food culture that time, people were happy with new dish and the crop issues were gone, it was a win-win.
I guess it’s no different from eating shell fish
