Scene from Thailand food market.
This is in the city of Phuket, which got its name from the thing people say just before they eat the food.
Research shows that eating crickets regularly can change gut flora favorably and reduce inflammation. Surely, there must be an easier way.
Meanwhile in Cambodia, due to the severe insect shortages, people have been forced to cull the apex predator.
We have vastly bigger spiders where I live, which leads to this true story:
My wife and I got a flat on the hill behind the hospital, with a view of the ocean. That was the official living quarters for married staff, which is part of the deal when you enter into theslavery day and night work as an intern. She was happy with our first little place.
So one day, I get a phone call on the ward, and it's her with an emergency. A Spider Emergency. She trapped it in the kitchen sink, under a big metal bowl. Could I come back home?
Well, of course not. I have actual dying people to handle. Tell the security guard to give a hand.
Unbelievably, he couldn't handle it. Called for backup. I swear. It is true. Heard the intercom.
In the end, the spider collapsed itself like a giant squid, and slithered down the open drainpipe. So when I got back, the guards and my wife were lined up, looking nervously at the doorway to the kitchen. I popped the bowl over to see--- nothing.
So in the end we got a little grille and glued it onto the sinkhole.
If only YouTube had existed then, we could have gotten the recipe.
