    Lisa is crushing it! Eating foods outside your comfort zone is such a mental battle-especially when it comes to trying new “proteins”-but love to see y’all diving in! Also, LOVE jackfruit!

      it's true--the mental game is the hardest! but then it's like Pringles! once you pop, you can't stop! haha

    We lived in Laos 2007-2015. Crickets were on the menu quite a bit. They are called jii nyai in Laos. Nice sauteed in kaffir lime leaves, chilli and garlic. Nibbly kind of food you have with a cold beer.
    Too much jack fruit gives me a belly ache. Very nice though.

      We haven't been able to locate any durian yet on this portion of the trip yet, actually. We are just a bit too early for durian season, but want to get some soon!

    you are so brave!, not many westerner (or even local Thai person) ever tried "future of food" that much. Perception of insect might not be "Present"
    Even now it still take me couples of second until I can put it on my mouth too. hahaha.

    • @LisaAndJosh
      @LisaAndJosh  2 роки тому

      love that idea of the "future of food." we read that many people are now eating insects to help with the environment too.
      it definitely took us a little bit of courage, but we were so pleasantly surprised! could see ourselves trying it more often

    The East of Chiang Mai has some great spots. I highly recommend you venture outside the Nimman area to get some adventure. Although living in Nimman is great, due to the wonderful co-worker spots / cafes / restaurants / western amenities / new condos. Check out Brett Dev's channel - programmer who's lived in Chiang Mai for many years. A video of places he's lived: ua-cam.com/video/hFDFz1oecxE/v-deo.html (old - prices out of date but neighborhoods the same). Back to the video: Good for you trying those bugs! I wouldn't buy the silk worms / larvae - they pop in your mouth and are nasty. But the bugs made of cartilage fry up to just a tasty snack. Nothing wrong with having a routine - but I recommend you visit co-working spots / cafes to rather than stay inside all the time with the laptop, even if it's easy to do. Many Thai and expats get up early, do some exercise, then go back A/C inside for work when it starts heating up, get lunch, then take a nap in the afternoon to wake up after sunset when it cools off. It's a nice schedule once you get used to it. :)

      awesome! you always have great tips! yeah, we've the silk worms are an experience haha after a week here, we've definitely found ourselves spending more time outside of Nimman than in, which we love! that sounds like a great schedule

    Next time ask the jackfruit vendor to sell you the seeds .. boil for 20-30 minutes! Very good. Last time he ate about 40-50 years ago!😂😂😂
