"King with feet" ramen.
A popular ramen restaurant in Taipei, "Ramen Boy", recently launched "King's Ramen with Footed Worms" which sparked a hot topic, and foreign media such as CNN and Reuters also reported on it one after another. After the news was posted on Twitter, it also sparked heated discussions among foreign netizens. Some people were frightened by the photo of the king's footed worm covered in a ramen bowl and wrote "Is there a famine in Taiwan?", and some people put the emoticon of vomiting.
"Ramen Boy" announced on the 22nd that it will launch a bowl of "Dawang worm ramen" with an asking price of 1,480 Taiwan dollars (about 48.3 US dollars). Fully booked by regular customers.
CNN quoted a Reuters article on the 29th titled "Taipei's hottest new dish is a 14-legged crustacean". The article mentioned that the owner of the shop called the king's legged insect a "dream ingredient", and customers said, the fleshy texture of the king pod worm tastes like a combination of crab and lobster with a chewy texture.
As soon as the news came out, many foreign netizens left comments with "vomiting" emoticons: "What makes people eat such things! Is there a famine in Taiwan?", "WTF", "Oh, they can eat anything", and some people live under the shadow of the new crown pneumonia, jokingly wrote, "What virus will appear again this time?".
However, some netizens are very calm: "This looks like a lobster without claws, and it should taste similar", "I will try it, as long as I can ensure that they will not become extinct", "Three years ago in Vietnam, this thing was sold. It's already food."
