Why do Angelina Jolie and her children eat insects and spiders?
The actress and her children have tasted a menu made up of insects, tarantulas and cockroaches during an interview in Cambodia.
The most renowned experts in gastronomy assure that insects and bugs are the revolution that is to come in the world of cooking. In fact, many of the best restaurants on the planet already serve these curious delicacies to their diners.
This supposed revolution will not catch Angelina Jolie unprepared, who has surprised locals and strangers eating insects, tarantulas, scorpions and cockroaches with her children during an interview during her visit to Cambodia. In this Southeast Asian country, where she is promoting her latest film, she has also spoken for the first time, through tears, of her sounded divorce from Brad Pitt.
Be that as it may, Jolie and her children have feasted on these strange delicacies, which the actress and her offspring have gobbled up like Iranian caviar. "They actually taste very good," says the actress as she tastes a tarantula leg and explains to her children how to cook and eat these critters. "The scorpion is more difficult to chew," she points out.
The little ones pay attention to their mother and taste without question the insects that are offered to them. "They look like French fries," they say as Angelina encourages them to "share a spider."
High nutritional value
The truth is that insects are common elements in the diet of many Southeast Asian countries, given their high nutritional value and their contribution of proteins to the body. Few in Europe dare to try them, but everything will come. Angelina Jolie has it clear.
