Nothing like trying something new






So while I was in Beijing I thought I would try some scorpions on a stick. You know when in China...do as the Chinese do type thing. Funny thing is I was getting a lot of funny looks from the Chinese ;) Just as a precaution, I did not eat the stinger at the end of the scorpions tail.

Would I do it again? Sure...they tasted pretty good. Most of the taste was the peanut oil used to grill/fry them. (Costper stick of 4 = 20RMB ($2.94)

As you can see, sea horses were also available, but the thought of eating a cute little sea horse did not appeal.
