From Hornbill Festival to Creepy-crawly action of Keeda Bazar….Come and explore Naga Flavour with me….
Craziest things turn into tasty savories to relish them in snacks, though I would anyday prefer french fries….
Definitely not a place appropriate for a vegetarian, fussy eater and faint-hearted…..
Right from frogs jumping into plastic bags, pink woodworms, silk worms and larva,
Little wasps hatch in hives and snakes crawling in water…..
The market has it all from dogs to cats, beef to pork while Naga ladies casually weigh live snails, chewing betel nut.
But nevertheless, I showed the courage to visit this legendary keeda market being a vegetarian and believe me I was amused to  see the welcoming faces of shopkeepers. The vibrancy of this place kept me smiling while capturing these pictures.Â
We could not spot eateries or food joints selling readymade insect fare as locals prefer buying them fresh to prepare at home.
Really a creepy experience !!!

Oh… you managed to really churn my stomach..:)
Haha, I would take it as a compliment. Had to do justice with the theme. Keep visiting.
Yes it is such 😀 — I will 😀
I’ll pass, thank you. Although I did once eat a chocolate-covered ant, thanks to my Dad who was always willing to try anything. All I could really taste was the chocolate, and the ant was crunchy. Still, I never wanted a second one.
I know. Nagas eat it so naturally. I was like yuck !
Yeah, I think I’ll leave these creepy crawlies to the natives, thank you. Thank you for sharing. . . . Well, maybe not. . . . l’m not so sure. Blech!
Here’s my creepy, although not so creepy as yours:

Thanks for the visit and comment. I will definitely like to see your take.
Very creepy. I can’t even imagine anyone eating these. My father always teased about the chocolate covered ants. It took a long time for me to try chocolate covered raisins because I thought he was teasing and they were really ants. Nice share for this week’s challenge
Thanks a lot. I was feeling all the time creepy while I was in the market. Being a vegetarian all the more difficult but I wanted to go anyhow.
We saw similar in Vietnam but I wasn’t tempted to try any of them. Too creepy to think of them sliding down my throat.
I am glad to know about added information given by you. I agree they are creepy. Thanks for the visit.
A very original take on the prompt and very creepy!!!
Thankfully I had the pictures with me. The moment I saw the prompt I knew it was time to share them. Thanks
Eww!!
I saw and said, Yuck man !!!
Oh the things that we eat called delicacies. Yummers. Ugh!
For a change good to know your views.Keep visiting seeker !
Hi Rashmi, hope you were careful if you ate bugs. I have tried crispy ants covered by chocolate and another fried bug from San Francisco brought home by my Dad from business trip. Not really bad since could not tell it was bug. 🙂
Foe your kind information I’m vegetarian and can’t even think in my wildest of dreams to eat these delicacies. Though it was a unique experience.
