Food/Bugs

From WikiAssam

There are a lot of bugs that people eat in Assam.

We-Chiringa 

They are arboreal and during summer, when the rain is over, they come out at night wherever there is light. Very tasty! [PD]

Eri Polu 

I think this is the most delicious of all! I wonder how it converts the bitter castor leaves (they will eat those leaves only) into such delicacy. [PD]

Borolor Top 

I mean the eggs of wasp, not all wasp. We call it tiger wasp locally. They are tasty too.[PD]

Kerpa Poka 

They live in water and have a very pungent odour. But tasty when fried or roasted. [PD]

Bagh Mokora 

A colourful spider. It has a good taste, but has the chance of getting stung while hunting.[PD]

Kol Pok 

I mean banana bug. They generally live in banana trees or under thatched roofs. They come out and fly around in the evening. Harmless, does not bite you. Puri khaboloi bhaal. [PD]

Ant eggs 

There are some ants whose eggs are very tasty. You are on for a real good treat while cleaning jungles where they nest. Collect the nests, check it for yourself! [PD]
