Insects on the Menu
Humans have a long history of eating insects, and it turns out that they can be a very
nutritious part of a person’s regular diet. Insects have a lot of protein, and they are often easier to
catch than prey animals. Therefore, it is no wonder that when our ancient ancestors saw some
tasty worms or grubs wiggling on the ground, they made a quick snack of them.
In Thailand, insects are a regular part of the street food that can be found. The different
insects that people snack on are crickets, grasshoppers, giant water bugs, and assorted worms.
They are often deep-fried and salted, so they have a crunchy texture that makes them a perfect
snack food. If you can get past the fact that you are eating a cricket, it will crunch in your mouth
just like a corn chip!
For a lot of people, however, it is difficult to get over the fear of eating insects. People tend
to see insects as invaders, especially when they are crawling on the food that we are about to eat.

From the 20th to the 21st century, there have been significant changes in the majority of

and the way we lived a century ago. Viet Nam is no exception although there are some aspects of
life in Viet Nam that are similar to the way of life of the twentieth century.
Living in Viet Nam today differs greatly from the lifestyle of 100 years ago. People in the
past mainly worked in agriculture whereas today there arc significantly fewer people working in

important component of the Vietnamese economy, other enterprises are accounting for an
increasing amount of economic activity.
However, along with the differences, similarities also exist. The Vietnamese have kept
many of the characteristics of their forefathers. The Vietnamese people are as friendly today as
