Ate it. And those…, I’m not even sure what type of insect it was but it looked like a centipede, bug lollipops. The insects are crunchy, and taste like dried grain. Sometimes spicy, depending on the insect. Notihng gross about it.

Blech. Let it never be said that the Japanese aren’t creative with their food. Pocky and sushi aside, they come up with some WEIRD stuff.

I saw this on Cellar’s Image of the Day (September 12)
Their source was spluch.blogspot.com, and their source was Channel 4 News.
The trail seemed to end there, but I didn’t really look.

Ya know, I live and work in Japan and haven’t heard a thing about this. Are you sure it isn’t just a one-off thing someone did as a joke? How about linking a source?

Being totally phobic about wasps and other stinging creatures, I just can’t look at that picture! Uck!!

Not my taste, but people eat all kinds of things.
The individual holding it needs to clean his fingernails.
