I've eaten just about everything on the bug carts in Bangkok,usually when seriously intoxicated and for reasons of bravado rather than hunger,but in Patts recently I noticed the bug vendors had black scorpions.Never seen these in Bangkok,so maybe its a regional thing? Question is...are they safe? What about the venom? I've never seen anyone chewing them....or walking round with a bagful...or,come to think of it,even buying them.
Whats edible...not the shell,surely? And what do they taste like?
