Eating Beondaegi (boiled silkworm pupae) - Checking one off the list!

One of the items on my "Things I want to do in Korea" list is to eat beondaegi.  Click on that link if you want more info from wiki, but basically....it's boiled silkworm pupae. They sell it everywhere in street vendors in Korea. Lots of people enjoy munching on these bugs as a snack. It smells....terrible. It smells exactly the way you imagine it would, but 10 times stronger. Since I'm in Korea, I knew i had to try this despite its vile smell. So here goes nothin'!

Squishing that juice out. 

Mmmmm...a cup full of worms.

Fear.

Reluctance.

Encouragement.

The leap of faith.

Disgust.

Regret.
