Thanks to Andrew Zimmern and his Travel Channel program Bizarre Foods, the crickets he sent me continue to be a hit with some of my friends. I think he earned some interested new viewers as well.Rick tasted both the salt and vinegar crick-ettes and the bacon and cheese crickets. Rob ate some more. Here are their videoed testimonies.

At my birthday barbecue, Brian popped one of the salt n’ vinegar crick-ettes into his mouth, and here is what he had to say:

I have a few crick-ette “crumbs” left, and I am going to see if I can find at least one more hearty and adventurous soul.

We were in the very small town of Yangon in Myanmar in 1997 and we were somewhat sickened by thesight of crickeets being fried in the open aas a lunch treat for the locals. Rob is most brave!!! Luv ya.
