Well, this should answer the question that many people ask when we world racers explain what we are doing this year…”are you going to have to eat weird things?”
Now i do have to admit that i did not by any stretch eat these things like two of my teammates, Benny and Steph, who pretty much took a chunk out of each. but i do pride myself in at least trying to be “adventerous”. i only ate a leg off of the cockroach and taranchula…but i did take a good size bite out of the middle of the snake. The snake was like bad jerky…i didnt really want to swallow, but it didnt make me gag or anything. the tranchula just tasted like the heavy coating of teriaki that they cover it with. and the cockroach leg was just like getting something stuck in your teeth 🙂 So, i certainly dont get the award for being the bravest or even truly fully eating these creatures…but i was a good sport!
Now everyone knows that no, we arent forced to eat stuff like this…we just get a sick kick out of finding them in the market and doing this for the fun of it 🙂 hope you enjoyed this glimpse of a day in the life of a world racer!
