I won&#8217;t post the thumbnails here in case anyone is squeamish, although to be honest they&#8217;re not that bad (just be careful of the third link in the next sentence if you do choose to click!)  We had ants, crickets, <a href=\"http:\/\/tranniesintrouble.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/frogslegs_2217.jpg\">frogs legs<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/tranniesintrouble.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/scorpions_2224.jpg\">scorpions<\/a> on shrimp toast, and the most disgusting looking: fried silk worm <a href=\"http:\/\/tranniesintrouble.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/larvae_2225.jpg\">pupae<\/a>.  I always like to try new things (within reason) and eating bugs seemed totally reasonable!  It actually wasn&#8217;t that hard to do once we dug in.  With the dipping sauces it&#8217;s just like eating fried whatever.  The frogs legs were one of the tastiest, definitely tasting like chicken and very warm and juicy.  And a couple glasses of wine made it awesome &#8211; A totally fun night out!<\/p>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/tranniesintrouble.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/typhoon_menu_500.jpg' hspace=\"10\" vspace=\"10\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My friend Krystle and I have been talking for a while about eating some bugs at this crazy restaurant in Santa Monica called Typhoon and we finally got to drive down there last night and enjoy some.
