Not since Yankee Doodle stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni has anybody been so mixed up about food descriptions.
The guy in this picture is doing just what it looks like - enjoying a Centipede on a Stick, just before having a Scorpion on a Stick for his second course. But if you think he’s eating these things because he’s been hypnotized, or lost an election bet, you’re wrong.
No, according to the photo caption, the man is at a “Gourmet Food Festival.” Can you just imagine the money to be made, if you can turn over a few rocks and collect money for the “gourmet food” that slithers out?
Yes, sir, we charge by the leg for these centipedes…
