An Unlikely Treat

Fried bugs in China
Not too long ago my family and I took a trip to China. We joined a tour group and off we went.

The first place we stopped was a silk factory. They showed us the silk worms and the traditional way of creating silk fabric.

Our second stop was a huge night market in Beijing. This is where I tired snake, scorpion, and larva for the first time. And might I say they were mighty delicious.

China is a unique place with unique foods and experiences. I'm glad I've gotten the chance to broaden my horizons.

    I would love to see silk worms, that concept blows my mind. It's like bees but way crazier.

    And way to go trying crazy foods, I love trying new foods- it's super fun
