Angelina Jolie teaches her children to eat scorpions and tarantulas
During her visit to Cambodia, the Hollywood movie star exhibits her culinary skills to prepare a traditional dish from the region made up of insects.
The actress and film director Angelina Jolie cooked and ate scorpions and tarantulas, with two of her children to show them the nutritional value of these insects.
A BBC World News video shows the Oscar winners sharing their culinary knowledge about insects.
"When people were starving during the war they were able to survive on things like this," she relates.
Jolie said that she started trying these Cambodian dishes the first time she came to the country, 16 years ago to shoot Tom Raider, around the time she adopted her first child Maddox there.
In the video, the 41-year-old star teaches her little ones how to clean the insects to cook them in the pan.
"The first thing I ate was beer crickets and that's when you can taste tarantula.
"Do you want to share a spider?", She asked her girl Shiloh, "they look like French fries," replied the little girl after taking a bite.
Cambodians cooked insects during the civil war that this country suffered between the 60s and 70s, where Brad Pitt's ex is currently on a promotional visit for First They Killed My Father: A Daughter Of Cambodia Remembers, his new film as a filmmaker.
Her fourth job as her director talks about the life of Cambodian human rights activist Loung Ung.
