The fact that Amy and I ate silk worm larvae on Khao San Rd. last Monday is funny for two reasons:

1) We're eating bugs. That's always funny.

2) We were later told that actually, Thai people don't eat bugs at all. It's just something stupid tourists do. Charming.

Here's the evidence: 

(Yes, I am video-happy right now, but whatevs it's fun)

The experience was, overall, unpleasant, as I'm sure you can tell from our facial expressions in the video. Silly Amy put the camera sideways while she was filming me, which is why I had to do it again (in case you didn't catch the commentary).

The silk worms had been fried, with no oil necessary since they are full of fat anyways. I felt like their innards were bursting in my mouth, and that is probably because they were. It's not an experience I would like to repeat. Our Canadian friend Scott (seen in the video), however, happily munched away the rest of the bag.
