Malang tod

Malang tod is a Thai dish consisting of a variety of fried insects such as crickets, beetles, worms, and grasshoppers. Once fried, the insects are traditionally served with a bit of pepper and soy sauce or fish sauce. This dish is very nutritious because the insects are a great source of protein. The flavors and textures are best described as nutty, salty, and crunchy. Malang tod is usually eaten as an afternoon snack, and it's often paired with liquor or beer. Some of the most popular types of malang tod include silk worms (hon mhai), waterbugs (maeng da), and grasshoppers (takatan).
