One of the stops we made in Beijing was to the Night Market that opens around 6:00 each night. This is the place to be if you're an adventurous eater.
Basically, anything you can imagine is put onto a stick and cooked for you. They have your every day meats like beef, chicken, or lamb. But they branch out a lot further too.... a lot further.
Among the many skewers we saw were snake, squid, eel, whole birds (head included), beetles, scorpions, and sea horses.
I decided that my experience of the Night Market would not extend beyond taking pictures, but Gary was up for trying some of it. He went with a grasshopper-ish insect. They fried it up and drizzled a spicy sauce on it.
His verdict... "Doesn't really take like much of anything. Just crispy."
