ABOUT TRENDY THAI DISH

Ask a visitor about Thai food and you'll be knocked down with adjectives like 'great', 'gorgeous', 'tasty',
'spicy', 'exotic', 'wild' !

Hey, wait a minute ! Why should Thai food be wild ? It must have something to do with the red ant eggs or may be the worms ; if not, I bet it's because of the fried crickets or their friends the grasshoppers...

Yes, I am talking about dish which are served as a main course in some always popular places !

Are you impressed or... disgusted ? Both ? Cool down... and let's have a look at the red ant eggs. This typical dish from the Northeastern part of Thailand has long been appreciate by the Thai palates. Being a high source of proteins, it is served with chilies, shallots, peppermint, onions, coriander, lime juice, fish sauce, lemongrass, basil, mushrooms, tomatoes...

Sounds quite yummy, no ?

So, I guess you're ready now for the fried insects fed on vegetables, fruits or rice. If so, you're welcome to try the fried crickets with chili sauce.

Well, I am quite sure that during your stay in Thailand, you will at least once bump into a smiling roadside hawker promoting his stuff.

One of my VT girlfriends is longing for her next trip mainly to go back to her insects meals.

Sure, whether you are not fond of red ant eggs nor insects, I remind you the Thai slogan 'Never mind its look, it tastes great!'.

Bon appetit to the boldest VT friends (but I am not one of them, sorry !) !
