Fried Silk Worms Called hon Mhai in Bangkok, Thailand

Deep fried silk worms called hon Mhai are a common snack sold on the streets of Bangkok, Thailand. They are often fried on the vendor’s cart to insure freshness and garnished with salt and/or pepper and sometimes a secret sauce before using a ladle to serve them up. A similar treat is the bamboo worms, called rod duran and nicknamed “express train.” They are long and slender with about a half dozen ridges.
