seen that one too Tubby, every week he samples a new culinary delicacy.

 

In this episode, he at the testicles, some raw camel fat, which he claimed was a local delicacy, but he spat out as revolting, a beetle (not sure if it was Paul or Ringo LOL) plus a frog that was still alive and kicking.

that's loverly fermented quid. Goes nice with rice. When in Japan, I put that on half a bowl of rice, with some other seafood, like fish roe, crab roe, and pour some miso soup into it. Nice..

China has lots of stuff that is really out of question.

 

One I tried was "bee larvae" (no taste at all)

One I did NOT try was "Water Cockroach" , or 水曱甴 in Cantonese.

Food rule in China is: Simple is best or more expensive = more disgusting

The water beetles are not that easy to find in China. I would say that only 1 in 10 seafood restaurants have them in Southern China, and only there. It's a Cantonese dish.

The bee babies I am not sure. I saw it last time in a restaurant in Shenzhen.

I would say many Chinese also don't touch them. Some even shudder at dog meat, which I find quite normal and tried before.
