Silkworm Pupae
You would never have thought it, but silkworms are enjoyed as a Chinese street food specialty. We all know that they are used to make luxurious silk fabrics, but no one would have guessed these worms would be used in Chinese cooking.
Silkworm Pupae are traditionally sold on skewers and, despite their unappealing look, are said to taste like shrimp. When they are cooked, a surprising amount of spice is added, which makes them easier to eat.
