The bowl was set on the table before me near the bottle of beer having a metallic clink.
My mind did not even bother to process what it really was that had Jimpness Beauty Fat Loss Capsule been presented to you me; I was searching over the Gulf of Thailand, talking, drinking and having fun.
Besides, who'd set anything other than peanuts in front of someone at a bar?
My hand adopts the bowl to get one small resist send it hurtling into my mouth with the unerring aim of a man who has spent much of his life throwing food down his gullet.
Because it hits my tongue, something seems off.
The peanut seems too soft somehow, and has a strange metallic flavour into it. I wash it down having a swig of beer and pick up the bowl. Crickets--
It was my introduction to the skill of eating insects, or entomophagy.
In some regions of Thailand, insects are an extremely popular snack, and are sold from street carts and in restaurants.
To become honest, there are few snacks you can eat in a bar that are better tasting and more healthy than crispy crickets dusted with salt and chilli pepper or giant locusts; you just need to remember to take away the legs and head.
Since that first introduction, I have continued to consume insects at least occasionally, and found that they're a proper, tasty, and high-protein addition to my diet.
With only 121 calories per 100 grams of crickets (vs 567 calories for any comparable treats, peanuts), it's obvious to see the way they make the perfect accessory for the diet for men waging a personal war against fat.
Also, unlike peanuts or crisps (for all my British MAN v FAT friends), it's nearly impossible to eat crickets non-stop.
Recently, I had been introduced to an excellent Thai delicacy from Northern Thailand that is essentially young wasps and termites with a few giant ants, cooked with lemongrass and chilli peppers and served over rice, you can see that particular dish below.
And also being delicious, it had been far and away healthier compared to alternative stir-fried chicken or beef.
Available seasonally, this delicacy is something I'd happily eat every day of the year.
Many of us originating from Western cultures happen to be raised on steady diets of 'meat and potatoes', and also have learned that they are healthy, balanced diets.
While there is nothing intrinsically wrong using these things, other cultures all over the world live with radically different diets and lifestyles that people can learn from.
While eating insects is viewed by us as a strange move to make, they are, gram for gram, the best protein available.
Companies for example Bitty Foodsin San Francisco happen to be pioneering a baked-goods industry by which cricket flour is substituted for grain flour, making cookies which are protein rich, sustainable, gluten-free and far better for you than their alternative.
In the last century, the meals choices obtainable in the Civilized world have exploded in a decidedly negative way.
We have the ability to transform our diets from the steady stream of junk food, to which so many are accustomed, for an entirely different and decidedly broader global culinary adventure.
It's up to us to create Super Slim Pomegranate decisions concerning the way forward for our waistlines and our planet, and also the best option might be a a bit more creepy-crawly than we initially suspected.
