I’ve had ant eggs, rodents in a stew, and “jaeow” that supposedly contained Cow feces (literally my mom said “cow chit”), but I would NEVER try that in my life. UGH!

Called “pa-yit” in Burmese, they come out in winter and are crunchy and delicious fried in peanut oil with a bit of seasoning, crushed ginger and garlic – wonderful aroma!
The female, identified by a black spike at the bottom end, has an abdomen full of eggs, much preferred to the male.
They do need to be cleaned properly, winged, gutted and extremeties trimmed. I would most certainly not try “cow chit”.

Please note: New Mandala encourages vigorous debate. However, for the moment we will only be publishing high-quality comments that make original contributions to discussion. There will, of course, still be space for pithy, humorous, eccentric and cheeky input. Short and sweet will usually trump long and involved. Repetitive ranting, unimaginative point-scoring and idle abuse will not be entertained. Comments which carry a real name are also more likely to be approved. Thank you for your ongoing interest and contributions.
