- (FBE) Today you're gonna be eating this.
- (shrieks)
- Don't take the sheet off. Oh, come on!
- Oh, hell yes!
Are you serious right now?
- No way, that's hella cool. It's hella scary.
- This is a whole new level of gross.
- This is a literal scorpion. I'm concerned.
- Will it be alive? - (FBE, chuckling) No.
- (relieved) Okay.
- Scorpions are poisonous, right?
If you were to just bite off the stinger, would it hurt?
- I'm a little nervous right now.
But I mean, I trust you guys, so it's not gonna kill me.
So I'm gonna put my trust in you guys.
- (FBE) And now you get to taste it. - (gasps)
What is it on?! What is that?
- Why is he so tiny? Is this the baby?
Am I eating that scorpion's baby?
- It's just like a topping.
It's not even baked into it or anything.
- Oh, it looks like it has a stinger.
(exhales slowly)
I'm good.
- Which end should I bite?
Do I want to bite off his head or his tail?
It's just a bagel bite. That's all it is, guys.
- It smells like fish, like fried fish.
Easy peasy.
Mm, mm, tell when you're getting the fishcake thing
or when you're getting the scorpion.
- Does this cause any health problems?
This just tastes like regular fried stuff.
- Ugh, it's the head and the claws.
Ugh, something's in my teeth.
It just freaks me out, but it tasted fine.
- (takes deep breath) Come on, do it.
I'm just gonna do it.
Oh. Wah! It broke!
(snickering)
Mm. Doesn't taste like anything.
- It's like on this-- I'm scared!
I can't. Oh gosh, this is disgusting. Okay.
Mm-hmm. Tail fell off the top of the thingy.
(disconcerted) This is disgusting.
- Mm. This is actually pretty good. I love it.
Might just start catching scorpions now.
- It tastes like someone just over-fried a fry.
I think the visual is more gross than the actual taste of it.
- There's no sand or poison or scales or anything.
It's just, it's in my mind.
I'm like, "Oh, well, you know you're eating a scorpion."
- (FBE) You just tried Singapore-style scorpion on shrimp toast.
- Shrimp toast? I didn't even know that's a thing.
- I love Singapore.
There's a lot of good food there.
- (FBE) So scorpions are loaded with nutrients.
They are poisonous if eaten raw.
But when fried, they become safe to consume.
- Oh, that's a little scary.
- Whose bright idea was it to make this edible?
- It's disgusting.
I don't care about nutrients. I can get that from other things.
- I think that's cool, 'cause I ate something that was poisonous.
That could've killed me if it was alive.
- I don't think I've ever eaten anything
that was poisonous before, so there was a first.
To me, it's a win-win. I like eating crazy stuff.
Anything the weirder it looks, the more I want to eat it,
just to say that I did.
- (FBE) So finally, do you recommend that people try scorpions?
- Yeah, sure, why not? Go for it.
- I do.
Just try new things.
- If you're down like I'm down, do it.
- If I suffered, you have to suffer too. So yes.
- It was pretty good. So why not?
If you want to sound like a bad ass, try scorpion.
- Hell yeah, I recommend that people eat scorpions.
They're good for you, and it's bad ass.
- Yes.
The scorpion died for a noble cause,
and it was kind of delicious. I'm very surprised.
- If you're trying to push your limits and try cool foods,
eat it.
I can't believe that I did it.
It's not as bad as you think, so go out and eat some scorpions.
