Learn From My Story - Don't Ever Eat "Para" Without Reading This Post!!!

So yesterday I was feeling adventurous on trying new things, I guess I woke up with an adrenaline rush. Lolz

Guess what I found?

Yes you got it right, Grasshoppers!!!
I grew up in the northern part of Nigeria, Abuja to be precise; Eating insects and rodents are like eating pizzas and burger.

FYI "Para" is the Hausa word for grasshopper.

I have seen, and almost tasted so many cooked insects but never for once passed the test.
I'm well know to be a curios fellow but I guess I wasn't curious enough to actually eat them. ( at least not until yesterday)

Seeing the grasshoppers displayed on a tray arouse my "Jack Bauer" spirit.
I immediately echoed within me; "yes, I can do this!!!." lolzzz

So ordered them serve me but the smallest quantity servable.
I didn't eat it there because I was a little nervous of throwing up in public.
I beckoned on them to package it for me so I can take it home.

On getting home, I transferred the "Paras" into a plate and got ready to take the bold step.
I quickly drew close to me a bottle of wine to suppress any funny feeling in my stomach.

After minutes of arguing with myself whether or not to eat it, I crunched down on one.
It wasn't as bad as I expected it, it actually tasted like fried crayfish.

Ooooh and I didn't puke lol.
I thought I would but yipi I didn't puke.

My Advice on Eating it?

Only try it if you have a daring spirit.
Remember closing your eyes when eating for the first time.. Lolzzz

That's all for now guys.
