RE: ASEAN Hive Community Challenge #25 | I Dare You To Eat the Iban's Exotic Food - Sago Grubs & Onch Slugs!

in ASEAN HIVE COMMUNITY2 years ago

Grubs seem like a luxury food item in your country, but here in Cambodia they are only for the countryside people. During the genocide many people hid in the forest for years, causing them to survive on insects, and after the war ended, this habit of eating insects didn't stop and became mainstream.

Thanks for joining this challenge, would you try the grub pizza?

Grub is only eaten by the natives in Sabah and Sarawak (2 different states in Borneo). It's expensive, roughly US11 per kilogram, or USD2 per packet of fewer than 10 grubs 🤦‍♀
I would definitely try the grub pizza 😁
