Food Fight: Takin' it to the Streets

Our recent trip to Beijing included a stop at Wangfujing Snack Street so we could channel our inner Andrew Zimmern. As intimidating as some of the foods appeared, most of them really weren't that bad!


Wangfujing Snack Street



We were brave enough to sample 5 of the 10 bizzare snacks being offered. Can you name them all?


Here's a freebie...

This wasn't bad at all--rolled in spices, it was just really crunchy. I was just scared of the first bite!




The texture of this was awful enough to get the 'ole gag reflexes pumping

Was nervous about this one but it ended up being our favorite



We're not this brave yet....maybe next time!?

    Wow, you are brave! So I'm guessing some of those are cockroaches, cicadas, rats and or mice, and then obviously starfish and sea horses. What were the long strips that you said ended up being your favorite?

      We had snake (the best!), scorpions, seahorse, cicadas (iffy), and cocoons (AWFUL). We didn't touch the starfish, millipedes, silk worms or two types of lizards. The lizards look repulsive! I keep thinking about how awful it would be to bite through the skull and it makes me absolutely shudder. Blech!
