Bundaegi
Nasty shit, and I can’t believe I haven’t posted an exposé of this shocking foodcrime. Any convenience store in Korea will carry this delicacy in a canned form. The worst however is when it is sold on the street, generally it is steaming and the liquid evaporating of the larvae smells just like urine!
Hmm! A tasty treat of ‘urine bugs’ is what we all want to quaff down after a few beers isn’t it?
I did try Bee Larvae in Vietnam, that was pretty disgusting but at least it didn’t smell of piss.

It”s boiled silkworm cocoons. I’ve heard it doesn’t taste as bad as it smells, but I’d have to get close enough to eat it in order to know for sure, and I simp0ly refuse to do that. (If I’m in an outdoor market and someone’s cooking a pot of the stuff, I just start walking the opposite direction.)

I sent beondaegi home for Christmas. I never heard from my family again.

Funny. I sent a can of soaked crysalis to some friends back home after my co-teacher gave it to me as a joke. You definitely have to be drunk to eat this shit. They taste like old shoes smell!
