What I love abouy Emmy, is that she is sooo open to bizzare food. She's not disgusted, appalled or judgemental, she just tries it and states her honest opinion. Honestly the most innocent and realist youtuber out, and so incredibly underrated.
Emmy, you might be interested to know that, after a friend of mine and I decided we wanted to try cricket tacos at a local Mexican restaurant, I checked with a nutritionist acquaintance for any information she had on crickets. As an offhand comment, I happened to mention that my friend is allergic to shellfish. As it turns out, if you have an allergy to shellfish, you should NOT try eating insects. I just thought I would mention that here, in case any of your other viewers were considering giving bugs a try. :)
KaaSerpent That's because they *are* insects. Shrimp, crab, lobster, etc. are all technically insects because they have an exoskeleton. Anything with just an exoskeleton is technically an insect. Humans have an endoskeleton, tortoises have both.
I almost spit my coffee out when I saw that shrimp snack because of the name okusno. 'OKUSNO' is actually Slovenian word that means 'tasty' and after googling it I realised it was not a coincidence - the founder actually used a slovenian word on purpose 😊. So I definitely learned something new today! 😁
Yes, I hate hearing mouth noises and breathing, it makes me angryand irritated. I even hate my own breathing and mouth noise. But I don't really have that problem with Emmy.
Bugmas this year since you have kind of tried them all. Maybe you could do bug recipes that viewers can recreate. The idea would be that you would never know that it has bugs in it!
PLEASE DON'T SKIP BUGMAS!!!! PLEASE! The last 2 years my girls and I have counted down to Christmas with Bugmas! We love it, and it's becoming a tradition they ask about and remember! PLEASE! Maybe cook with the bugs of you're tired of eating hard, dry, extra crunchy bug bodies lol OR try to help us learn how to make yummy fun holiday snacks!
Bugmas this year since you have kind of tried them all. Maybe you could do bug recipes that viewers can recreate. The idea would be that you would never know that it has bugs in it!
Your video came at just the right time. My 6th grade classes are writing an essay about whether or not insects should be a food source. After they saw how much you were enjoying them, many were ready to try them.
Whitney Braddy Bugmas this year since you have kind of tried them all. Maybe you could do bug recipes that viewers can recreate. The idea would be that you would never know that it has bugs in it!
How about this year eating bugs prepared in a different way than just dried like previously (which were predominantly hard with not much flavour)? Using insects and arachnids in traditional recipes (how they're usually prepared) and modern recipes (which is becoming more popular in the West.
The way you encourage adventure reminds me of my parents tbh. They always wanted me to be outside of the box and aware of so many different things and I'm always happy that they taught me how to always have an open mind tbh because life is never boring when there's always something new to experience.
Looks like Bugmas came early this year. I happened to have been eating a bowl of Cheetos while watching the video and I noticed the resemblance to the silk worm pupa shortly before you pointed it out. I could probably stand to cut down on them anyway. lol On the other hand, the fried mushrooms look and sound delicious. Nom, nom, nom.
I love watching Emmy over most others because she she explains everything in great detail. It gives us a really great mental picture and we really understand what she is experiencing. ❤
Please Emmy I love Bugmas!! I was here when you started the series and I loved it so much, it would be like a part of me missing if you skip it this year :(
I’d love to try the silkworm pupae, they look and sound delicious! I’ve always been curious about eating insects, but a lot of online shops seem to focus on the shock value (for Westerners) to eat insects rather than having them prepared as they are in countries where insects are commonly eaten.
This is probably one of my favorite videos of you Emmy. I am such a big fan. I would love to see your kids in your tasting videos. It would be so cute.
I guess the soft pupae are younger, because, once inside de pod, they will liquify and start to build their new body. So, i believe the soft ones are still "early building".
I have always thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos for years. It would be awesome to have you as a friend, you just have this amazing sweet, genuine, and funny aura about you.
Yay, Emmy!!! I LOVE watching your videos, especially the MRE ones! Being prior USAF from 2006-2010 your MRE vids take me back to my Camp Bullis training days! Thank you for all of your videos!!! You rock!
Guys, she has stated in past videos that she has tried all the kinds of bugs/insects she can. That's the reason why she feels like it wouldn't be practical to do a 3rd bugmas
simlover00 they can be prepared in different ways to the ways she's eaten them before though (mainly just dehydrated & hard with no seasoning). I'd love to see her use them in recipes and eat them in different ways. Eg in Australia they're currently promoting a range of insect ice creams which include meal worms & crickets amongst others, and in Cambodia freshly deep fried tarantula was popular.
I truly loved watching your 5 Days of Bugmas the past 2 years! I would LOVE to see it again this year or maybe something creative like it! 🎅🐜 Nom, nom, nom.
my ultimate dream in life is being paid to travel around and try all sorts of cool and exciting foods. But for now I life vicariously through Emmy's videos! haha
I have to live vicariously through her videos also because most of the things that she tastes I'll never be able to taste because of allergies or because of diet restrictions or sensitivities
I'm very very sick right now and your videos make me pass right out a sleep even tho I'm next to the toilet vomiting every 10 minutes thank you so much Emmy I'm forever grateful
When I was growing up I used to LOVE those clams. They're even better if you fry them in the sweet chili sauce that they came in. Just a quick toss in a hot pan to get them to crisp up a bit and eat with a plate of hot Jasmine rice.
I work in a pet store that sells crickets. I'm not opposed to eating bugs but once you've smelled the stench of a thousand crickets that have been bin for a week...I don't think I could put that in my mouth. That being said, I love your adventurousness:)
I have to appreciate her willingness and CALMNESS. Too many youtubers act so extra so think how theyd react to bugs-- this video is way more informative
Hey Emmy, at my local Asian store we actually have frozen silkworms. I️ love to pan fry them after they’re thawed out. The taste is interestingly tasty. Love them!
Emmy you must turn on closed captioning and read what you were translated as saying at 7:38 about those chips. 😳 I was shocked. 🤣 I thought this was PG content. 😂
I used to watch shows as a kid where ppl would eat insects or spiders in different parts of the world. Always thought that was disgusting but you're the first person to make me actually want to taste insects 😅
It legitimately makes me sad that there are so many foods in the world that I would probably love, but that I’ll never get to try. I love seeing these videos so I can at least get a glimpse of other cultures/foods/flavors.😊
There is no way I can get hold of Thai snacks here in Turkey but I am craving all of them right now 😋 Whyyy Emmy why must you torture me with such yumminess?! 😂
Wow Emmy eats lots of things just for her fans and she really likes them and she also tells how it taste like and how to cook it my fav is when she eats snails it remind me about my two pet snails there name were jerry and tommy tommy was a baby and jerry was Kim a old man 👴🏻
So great you're raising your boys to be adventurous eaters! My dad raised me that way also... albeit a bit differently than you've done with your sons. I wasn't given the choice of saying no thanks...But I wasn't happy about it at the time, but I can thank him now for my diverse tastes and willingness to try almost anything... I do stop short at bugs tho, lol (I have a bit of a bug phobia) 😬
A couple of summers ago I was in Arkansas and bored one evening, and read about how Native Americans used to roast June Bugs over the fire and eat them like popcorn. Since June Bugs come into the lights at night in droves, I decided to sacrifice a few. I just heated some oil and fried them. I recommend them highly! (And there is one intriguing little surprise that happens when you fry them...) 😏
Took some hunting, but I managed to find a listing for the silkworms on Amazon and in the suggested products line, I had flashbacks to bugmas because everything from those episodes was in that little bar. If I can grow a pair, I might order me some. There was a mix of bugs though that had that creepy mole cricket. Don't know if I'm brave enough for that particular packet yet.
Emmy, can you do a video about Sea Cucumber? I work with them, but never seen them eaten before, and it would be interesting to see the process of how they are served/cooked :D
What I love abouy Emmy, is that she is sooo open to bizzare food. She's not disgusted, appalled or judgemental, she just tries it and states her honest opinion. Honestly the most innocent and realist youtuber out, and so incredibly underrated.
Maria Hughes freaking absolutely! I was literally just thinking this
Can't agree less! Such a lovely youtuber, the best out there! :)
Maria Hughes I agree with you completely. It's hard to not notice such things about her. She is also calm, which is one of her greatest attributes.
TRUE
What is "bizzare" to some is "normal" for others. It's all relative. Always good to learn and be open to other cultures.
I just wish I could hug Emmy! One of the most positive and peaceful TH-camrs I’ve seen.
Chrestiney Reactions Well said. She has such a sunny disposition. It’s contagious!
Yup
I absolutely adore her
Emmy, you might be interested to know that, after a friend of mine and I decided we wanted to try cricket tacos at a local Mexican restaurant, I checked with a nutritionist acquaintance for any information she had on crickets.

As it turns out, if you have an allergy to shellfish, you should NOT try eating insects.
I just thought I would mention that here, in case any of your other viewers were considering giving bugs a try. :)
KaaSerpent wow. Who would have thought!
KaaSerpent That's because they *are* insects. Shrimp, crab, lobster, etc. are all technically insects because they have an exoskeleton. Anything with just an exoskeleton is technically an insect. Humans have an endoskeleton, tortoises have both.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing :)
KaaSerpent, thank you for sharing this. I am not nor do I know anyone who is allergic to shellfish, but I feel better knowing this.
wow! I wouldnt have thought insects classify as shellfish in the allergy spectrum.
I almost spit my coffee out when I saw that shrimp snack because of the name okusno. 'OKUSNO' is actually Slovenian word that means 'tasty' and after googling it I realised it was not a coincidence - the founder actually used a slovenian word on purpose 😊. So I definitely learned something new today! 😁
I love that you're not dramatic with your tastings, and your descriptions make me feel like I'm tasting those things with you :)
I normally HATE the sound of people eating but when Emmy does it, its somehow satisfying.
Yes, I hate hearing mouth noises and breathing, it makes me angryand irritated. I even hate my own breathing and mouth noise. But I don't really have that problem with Emmy.
Whenever Emmy describes the texture, or flavor of whatever she's eating, Bob Ross always comes to mind. 😆
Thumbs up if Emmy should do a Bugmas this year 😭😭🙏🏼🙏🏼
exscuse me are there previous bugmas s
buck rowley yes there are bugmases from previous years
Bugmas this year since you have kind of tried them all. Maybe you could do bug recipes that viewers can recreate. The idea would be that you would never know that it has bugs in it!
I think I heard the cool emmy say cricket flour
PLEASE DON'T SKIP BUGMAS!!!! PLEASE! The last 2 years my girls and I have counted down to Christmas with Bugmas! We love it, and it's becoming a tradition they ask about and remember! PLEASE! Maybe cook with the bugs of you're tired of eating hard, dry, extra crunchy bug bodies lol OR try to help us learn how to make yummy fun holiday snacks!
Maybe this year you guys could try it instead
Maylene Hershey yeah recipes with bugs!
Bugmas this year since you have kind of tried them all. Maybe you could do bug recipes that viewers can recreate. The idea would be that you would never know that it has bugs in it!
@@CrimsonWabbit Thats a brilliant idea.
Emmy describing the flavorful bugs makes me want to try bugs xD
I got some roaches you can eat! START CHOMPING! ROFLMAO!
Jumana Mohammed same
I always appreciate how mature and respectful you are when trying out these types of foods. Great job x
Your video came at just the right time. My 6th grade classes are writing an essay about whether or not insects should be a food source. After they saw how much you were enjoying them, many were ready to try them.
Emmy.......noooo u must do bugmas!
Whitney Braddy
Bugmas this year since you have kind of tried them all. Maybe you could do bug recipes that viewers can recreate. The idea would be that you would never know that it has bugs in it!
YOU MUST DO BUGMAS!!!! Please!
agreed!! Or another fun countdown! :)
ha! just googled that. I am amused.

side note: the fried enoki mushrooms kinda looked like the baby star ramen you tried a while ago

I could probably stand to cut down on them anyway. lol On the other hand, the fried mushrooms look and sound delicious. Nom, nom, nom.
Rice berry is a deep purple whole grain rice that’s produced, and was originally created in Thailand by crossing two different breeds of rice.
I just love how Emmy talks so positively about everything!
I love watching Emmy over most others because she she explains everything in great detail. It gives us a really great mental picture and we really understand what she is experiencing. ❤
Aww I love your Bugmas videos!! You should try some recipes with bugs this year!
Everything you ate looked really delicious actually. All the flavor experiences you described made me want to try more Thai-inspired food items! Yum
Am I the only one that thinks they look appetizing? 😂
Jay 제이 same xD
Silkworms yes, crickets and clams no.
I did, but when she showed the eyes and feet it became a bit creepy again
They all looked relatively appetizing to me except the crickets - too many dismembered heads & legs.
Jay 제이, you're not the only one.
"Reminds me of squid jerky" there's something that'll never come out of my mouth, god bless Emmy and her huge food palate.
Mandeh Hunt squid jerky is delicious, pretty easy to find, and doesn't look gross though, so you could possibly try it 😊
Please Emmy I love Bugmas!! I was here when you started the series and I loved it so much, it would be like a part of me missing if you skip it this year :(

They're really cheap online but I personally think they taste like dog food
i love bugmas 💕💕 but don’t feel pressured to do it this year if you don’t want to ily emmy!!
This is probably one of my favorite videos of you Emmy. I am such a big fan. I would love to see your kids in your tasting videos. It would be so cute.
I guess the soft pupae are younger, because, once inside de pod, they will liquify and start to build their new body. So, i believe the soft ones are still "early building".
That sounds so gross, but I still really wanna try them... xD
I have always thoroughly enjoyed watching your videos for years. It would be awesome to have you as a friend, you just have this amazing sweet, genuine, and funny aura about you.

It's funny how much the cute packaging makes these snacks more appealing -- I would for sure try them!
Yay, Emmy!!! I LOVE watching your videos, especially the MRE ones! Being prior USAF from 2006-2010 your MRE vids take me back to my Camp Bullis training days! Thank you for all of your videos!!! You rock!

I have to live vicariously through her videos also because most of the things that she tastes I'll never be able to taste because of allergies or because of diet restrictions or sensitivities
Hey Emmy, thanks for all the great videos, just wanted to tell you I ordered one of your shirts and am looking forward to wearing it!
One of those who push the thumbs down was Jiminy Crickett and I can't blame him😂😂😂
I love your ability to describe ❤️ I literally just sit and watch these videos instead of tv 😂
I really enjoy your videos and you seem like someone that'd be fun to hang out with. I hope you have a great week! :)
I'm very very sick right now and your videos make me pass right out a sleep even tho I'm next to the toilet vomiting every 10 minutes thank you so much Emmy I'm forever grateful
It's so nice to be a Emmy Fan/follower, she calls us all lovely and thinks we are all beautiful. :D

Thank you so much for always describing the taste so clear :)
I Love Japanese Shrimp Chips... I'd also enjoy trying the silk worms & crickets.
All those treats look yummy!
I love how open minded and respectful you are💕
I used to swear I would never ever eat a bug, but you've been tempting me so hard. I want to try EVERYTHING on this list.
This was the first tasting video where I want to eat every single thing!!! Everything looks so good D: especially those crunchy shrimpy bad boys!
Forget 5 days of bugmas make it 12!
I miss your bugmas series. Wish you did it this year too! x3
Emmy you must turn on closed captioning and read what you were translated as saying at 7:38 about those chips. 😳 I was shocked. 🤣 I thought this was PG content. 😂
TeaWill haha😜😜😜
Sounds like a personal problem to me :)
Teehee!
Lol!
LMAO!!!
The mushrooms remind me of the dried fish snacks from Japan in crunch but the color looks like the dried tentacles . so cool🐙
Emmy, you are one dedicated foodie. Be proud to be a foodie.
Thank you Emmy for letting me vicariously experience snacks I never even imagined!
You have literally become my favorite youtubers❤️💙 I love you Emmy😘💯
I used to watch shows as a kid where ppl would eat insects or spiders in different parts of the world. Always thought that was disgusting but you're the first person to make me actually want to taste insects 😅
Great video Emmy! But YOU HAVE to do the 5 days of bugmas! I looked forward to it last christmas! Love you!
Emmy needs her own show on travel channel or food network!!
Because of you I just ordered the silkworms on Ebay! I can't wait to get them in the mail!
EMMYYYYY YOU'RE ALMOST TO A MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!!!!!! YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING AWESOME WHEN YOU HIT THAT MARK~~~~
It legitimately makes me sad that there are so many foods in the world that I would probably love, but that I’ll never get to try. I love seeing these videos so I can at least get a glimpse of other cultures/foods/flavors.😊
Oh those sweet basil chips are delicious! I want to go back to visit Thailand again!!
I’d love to see an exploration of Thai cuisine, my absolute favourite! Curries, Pad Thai, Panang, Massaman.. Mmm 😋🍛🥢🤗
I hope you do Bugmas this year, I was really looking forward to it
There is no way I can get hold of Thai snacks here in Turkey but I am craving all of them right now 😋 Whyyy Emmy why must you torture me with such yumminess?! 😂
omg I need those shrimp chips!!! My family fries shrimp whole and my favorite bits are the crispy legs and heads. These chips are right up my alley!
My 5yr old daughter is gonna be so excited about this. She loves your Bugmas episodes
Emmy I've been waiting all year to watch new Bugmas videos, please!!!! Love from México City
I looove snacks, and honestly all of these look really tasty! Would love to try these :D
Wow Emmy eats lots of things just for her fans and she really likes them and she also tells how it taste like and how to cook it my fav is when she eats snails it remind me about my two pet snails there name were jerry and tommy tommy was a baby and jerry was Kim a old man 👴🏻
This was very interesting to view :) , thanks Emmy ❤
Awe I wish someone would send me stuff like that. I believe it’s great to taste different varieties of cultural foods and snacks.
I've missed the tastings of other countries!! So happy to see my homeland featured. ♡ 🇹🇭
I love how u enjoy every thing
You’re gonna hit 1 Million by the end of the year!
Was expecting Emmy to say they are like cheese puffs. Ate them frequently while visiting relatives in China.
Whoa, I love enoki mushrooms, and definitely need to try that snack. Awesome video Emmy!
You seem like you enjoyed this so much, it was a pleasure to watch!
So great you're raising your boys to be adventurous eaters! My dad raised me that way also... albeit a bit differently than you've done with your sons. I wasn't given the choice of saying no thanks...But I wasn't happy about it at the time, but I can thank him now for my diverse tastes and willingness to try almost anything... I do stop short at bugs tho, lol (I have a bit of a bug phobia) 😬
Aww, Emmy! You should do Bugmas again! We love hearing you describe the bugs, seeing ourselves kind of squeamish
If you can please do bugmas
The 711's in Thailand have the best snacks!! Such a big variety in chips, drinks, soups, etc. I miss it haha
Omg Emmy pleaaaaaase do bugmas this year!! I've been looking forward to it since last year!! hahaha. Or maybe a series equally as "bizarre"!
I love the fact that you are very open to trying what most people would describe as "gross"
Almost at 1 million subs goooooo Emmy!!!!
Emmy My stomach is literally rumbling for crispy pupa larvae snacks and that milk tea! 😌

I LOVE THAI CUISINE THEY'RE ALWAYS SO EXTRA WITH THE SPICES
Omg i get so hungry watching the shrimp snack, looks so good, nom nom nom
i really hope you do the bugmas countdown, because i really do enjoy that series!
Oh man, you’ve rekindled my adventurous snacking tendencies!
You took the words out of my mouth! I was about to ask do your sons eat the stuff u eat or not? Lol
the sweet basil one is actually pad-kaprao flavoured, hence the salty and sweet taste. กะเพรา = kaprao = sweet basil
Took some hunting, but I managed to find a listing for the silkworms on Amazon and in the suggested products line, I had flashbacks to bugmas because everything from those episodes was in that little bar. If I can grow a pair, I might order me some. There was a mix of bugs though that had that creepy mole cricket. Don't know if I'm brave enough for that particular packet yet.
Please do BUGMAS!😊
Intetesting, fun, and adorable as always.
Please do Bugmas!
The fresh silkworm larvae are very good, reminded me of squid sushi.
Emmy, can you do a video about Sea Cucumber?
I work with them, but never seen them eaten before, and it would be interesting to see the process of how they are served/cooked :D
