I don’t know why there are so many insect vendors in Beijing, but there are very few in other places in China. A friend of mine from Yunnan told me they are delicious, but they are not on my diet. I'm afraid.
Fried bugs are not part of the Chinese household diet, and the bugs that are sold are just for the taste of tourists. You can pay attention to the fact that the menu of all restaurants does not have the option of bugs. Fried bugs are not as delicious as noodles, so you can only try them occasionally. Just like Bale's performance on the Discovery Channel, he doesn't eat bugs in life and performs for traffic on TV.
Haha for sure we had traditional Chinese food as well, but it was interesting to see that even at Chinese markets they sell this. And actually, while we were there, even locals bought them!
not delicacy, tourist trap food 🤣. most chinese won't touch insects. maybe in very rural areas where there isn't much choices sure, but I'm sure almost no one in cities will over pay to eat insects 😂. stinky tofu is different and is good if you get it from a good vendor. after it's cooked, there's no smell 😆
Well, there were some locals who bought insects as well haha. Some people are curious to try this. I was joking when I said it’s a ‘delicacy’, it was mostly an irony since it was pretty expensive
The Chinese feel strange when they see those bugs, just like you. Then they take a look and leave, unlike you. It seems that you are more interested in the bugs.
@@YasminesJourney mostly people do it as a novelty dare. most of the foods you see in tourist areas are not really authentic. chinese like to do gimmicky things to attract attention to get people to try stuff. you have to remember what you see is catered to domestic chinese tourists, not foreigners. I can tell you 99.9% of chinese who have the means to travel never ate a bug in their life 🤣
Take out your translation software and boldly communicate with local Chinese people, you will gain more information. Welcome to China. Don't be shy. We Chinese are more shy than you. Communicate with the locals.

We didn’t expect to find that either in China! I get what you’re saying, I don’t have the courage to try them either, only Alex can do it:))

Why are you interested in bugs? Those bugs are used to attract tourists. Most Chinese people have no interest in bugs.
Because they’re weird! We’ve actually seen the locals showing interest and even buying some…😅
