i'm talking stuff that is not normally available in an every day grocery shop - i.e. Snake, frog, fried grasshoppers...

P.S. Even kangaroo meat I havent seen here

In some Korean shops, they have canned Silk Moth coocoons. It's like 3 bucks a can. I can fetch you some if you want.

Good source of vitamin and protein people!
