While she may be terrified of snakes (see video below), when it comes to smaller members of the animal kingdom, Salma Hayek just loves to eat them.

During an appearance on the David Letterman show in the US on Monday night, the Mexican born actress said “grasshoppers”, “fried ants” and “worms” are among her favourite bugs to munch.

“Ants fried are amazing – with a little guacamole. And the worms … there are many different recipes for those. The little grasshoppers have a smoky flavor to them. It’s the way they cook them, and it’s really good,” she said.

Mmmm, just in time for lunch. Hungry, anyone?

      I’d settle down for something crunchy anytime with Salma and Guacamole.
      Better than moths or live shrimp in Chilli sauce in Thailand and I might just have to get a golden dragon [ Gecko ] Vietnamese recipe.
