Interesting appetizers...

We found a row of kiosks along a Beijing street that sells delicacies. By row, I mean some 30-40 different vendors all selling forms of the same thing. Something akin to what you'd see on reality television--Fear Factor or Survivor. These are scorpion, grasshopper, centipede, sparrow, silkworm, snake and other interesting 'buggy' kebabs! They weren't very cheap, either. The scorpion and centipede ones were about $2 a piece! I didn't have the 'guts' to try one out. I did my best just to look at them closely. ;)

The smell wasn't all that pleasant, either. ;(
