Ben Fogle visits the indigenous tribe De Mbendjele Ba Yaka
Yesterday, there was a British documentary on VRT Canvas in which television presenter and adventurer Ben Fogle explores the Republic of Congo. Next week, you can see the sequel. He's going right across the Congo and will see it all the way.
His Congolese adventure started in the capital Brazzaville, where a vibrant, colorfully dressed community cheered him up with lots of fruits, vegetables, fish and insects, such as caterpillars and larvae. However, you couldn't discover a roasted spider among them. Although it is also considered a delicacy. They are probably not as easy to catch as the fat larvae in the fallen tree trunks.
The bugs have nothing to eat. But I can imagine that they really don't like being suddenly eaten alive.
Fogle, did not reveal himself, and ate one in the same way. According to him, they taste like cheese.
