Angelina Jolie Cooks and Eats Spiders With Her Children in Cambodia
(World News) 7 years ago

Connecting with the culture. Angelina Jolie demonstrated how to cook spiders, crickets and scorpions during a visit to Cambodia in a new video with BBC.

 

The actress-humanitarian, 41, taught the reporter along with her children — Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 8, whom she shares with ex Brad Pitt — how to prepare the creatures, removing the fangs from a tarantula before heating it up in a pan. “See the hard part where you have the teeth? Take the fangs out,” she said, as seen in the video. “I think it’s always been a part of the diet, the bugs, but then I think there is a truth to the survival during the war, of course. When people were being starved, they were able to survive on things like this, and they did.”

.

The Maleficent actress revealed that she first tried eating bugs on a previous trip to Cambodia. (Jolie adopted her oldest son from one of the country’s orphanages in March 2002 when he was just 7 months old.) “You start with the crickets. Crickets and a beer, and then you kind of move up to the tarantulas,” she said.

.

Once the group was done defanging and sautéing the bugs, Jolie dished them out onto platters to pass around. “You want to share a spider?” she asked Shiloh, who agreed. They both tried the tarantula before moving on to the scorpions.

 

The Oscar winner then asked her kids what they think of the local cuisine. “[It tastes like] dry chips,” Knox said. “Yeah, like, flavorless chips.”

.

As previously reported, Jolie opened up about her highly publicized, messy split from Pitt during another portion of the BBC interview from Cambodia. “I don’t want to say very much about [the incident that led to our separation] except to say that it was a very difficult time and we are a family. And we’ll always be family,” she said, tearing up. “And we’ll get through this time and hopefully be a stronger family for it.”[US magazine]
