As you know, Lars loves to try new things, especially food. Well, he has an entirely new world to choose from here in Thailand and he is just going nuts trying new things. We have sampled many new fruits, but that was ease. Lars has now decided to attempt to eat some of the local creatures we are seeing on the streets. Well, not on the streets, but in carts for sell on the streets of Bangkok. He wants you to help him decide what to try.
Vote by Wednesday midnight eastern time.
Lars Food Challenge
Here in Asia they eat everything… Including insects. In the picture below there are 6 disgusting bugs/creatures.
- Scorpions
- Black crickets
- Grasshoppers
- Brown crickets
- Beetles
- Tarantulas
Vote for the creature you want Lars to eat. The one with the most votes gets to be eaten by Lars. Just comment below with the number corresponding to the creature or the name of the creature you would like him to eat. Example ” 3″ or grasshoppers. The votes will end Wednesday 12 midnight Eastern Time. Lars will also be gathering votes via other social media. The creature with the most votes will be enjoyed on Thursday. Shortly after, Lars will upload a picture with a link to the video in the description. Stay tuned!!!
Ugh, I can’t even stand to look at the pictures. However, I’ll vote for the crickets, probably brown because it seems like they would be the “least” offensive/dangerous.
Lars is a brave man!
Oh you are sweet Judy! I am thinking the same thing as you.
Ick! I would have to say the grasshoppers would be my choice as the least offensive. Sounds like an episode of “Survivor” Go for it Lars.
Never a dull moment in the Wagoner family Mary. Ha!
How funny as my thoughts were exactly as the first two! I feel number 3 is the least disgusting. Bet all the males will vote for the worst!
Time to go to Mesquite as your betting skills are on target!
Go, Lars! I’m so impressed by all of you for your grand adventure, and I’m delighted to read about Lars’ risk-taking and inquisitiveness! My vote is for brown crickets, because I’ve heard they are pretty tasty. Bon appetit!
Hey Kathryn, Thanks so much for following along and taking the time to vote. I think Lars will be delighted by your vote. However all of his friends are voting for something bigger on instagram. UG!
Thank you everyone that’s voted! Right now the brown crickets are the bug with the most votes.
Eat the beetles Lars!!!!
Hey Val! Thanks for commenting. Lars is getting excited!
I’m not pulling any punches, number 6, the tarantulas! They’re expensive though. Did you have to pay the lady 6 times to take those photos or was she happy with 1 payment? James had a grasshopper/locust years ago, said it was prawn-y.
Ha! Bring it on Alyson. 🙂 We paid 10 baht and she was very kind and let us keep taking photos and I took some video too. Then she gave Lars a little free sample of a grub…Ha! Can’t wait to show that reaction.
Grasshoppers! When I was in Thailand I had them. Very nice :-).
Hey Celia! How are you? Wow, thanks so much for taking the time to comment. You brave soul, you tried them? Ha! Good for you.
I shared this with my boys (8 and 6) and they both said, “you can eat crickets in the states! Eat the scorpions!” 😉 Do it for boykind. Hehe
Oh that is great Lyndell. Thanks for including the boys too. “boykind” that may tip the scales for sure. 🙂
Totally go for the brown crickets, they taste like popcorn!!! Besides, I’ve heard that no one actually eats the scorpions besides the crazy tourists. One question though…is Anya sponsoring this contest? Who else would come up with a reason for a brother to eat something disgusting other than a little devious sister????! 🙂
Hey Emily. Thanks so much for your vote. Ha,you obviously know us well! This time Anya isn’t pulling strings, it is all Lars. He is are curious one. I hope you are having a lovely time in Italy. Just loved looking at all of your photos in France.
I’m totally down with the tarantulas!
Come on, Lars! Show us what you’ve got!! 😉
Ha! Juan, of course you would pick the icky thing…LOL
Crickets, believe it or not I had roasted crickets with chili and lime once and it really wasn’t bad.
Thanks for the vote Christine!
