If you ever visited Asia you probably have seen insects as a food item around popular street markets.  Crickets, spiders, grasshoppers, worms, you name it.  Usually fried or deep fried and coated with spices.  Still though, many westerners still feel alarmed when presented with a platter of deep fried crickets.  The best approach to facing your fear is to gradual face it.  We are happy to say that we have the perfect solution to help with the fear.  

How bout candy insects?  

We are not talking about those cartoony gummy candy you find in 7eleven but gummy candy that look exactly like a real insect.

Check out the images..

A coffee shop in NW Japan called the Red Tent(Akai Tento no Koohii Ten), offers these life like sweets.  All handmade and filled with liquid syrup that simulates the guts of the creature.  So every bite is gushing with flavors.  Still wouldn't try it??
