Yum, Scorpion!

Nick ate his first scorpion last night at the night market. A couple people from his work were going out and since I have never seen anyone actually eat all the crazy things there we tagged along. One guy bought a stick of scorpions. (There were 3 on it.) They grilled it up for him and he tried the first one. There were 2 left and Nick decided he might as well try the next one. He ate it really fast so I didn't have a lot of time to get a good picture. I think he didn't want to stop and think about what he was about to do, so he ate it real fast before he had time to rethink that decision. The verdict was that it tastes like chicken. He washed it down with a Coke, hoping that would kill any funky things the scorpion might have done to his stomach.

So far today there have been no aftereffects (at least none Nick has told me about) from eating the scorpion.
