~Eating in China~

Cicadas cicadas Cicadas
The workers at the Unimax pastry shop offered Darrol deep fried cicadas.  Darrol says “Unimax is not in the business of selling bugs, the workers are my friends and offered them to me out of kindness.  I tried politely to refuse, but that didn’t work, so I was lucky to get away with only eating one of them.  As for the workers, they kept popping the cicadas into their mouths like it was candy.”
