Default Insects in Pu-erh?

Hooweeee, on my last trip to Sikkim I stayed with my friends family,
happily following Sikkimese customs [drinking tongba all day, no salt
or butter tea thanks] when at around 6 pm my old friend Pema turned up
with half a gigantic cowhead in my honour. The head had been sliced
exactly through the middle, Nepali style. Lying on the muddy kitchen
floor bloody side up it reminded me of a life 3D CT scan. I was already
sick as a dog from too much booze when my friend went about his
business taking that dead thing apart, cutting of the furry ear,
tongue, ... you name it. The best part came when it took him about 5
minutes to remove that huge dead eye with his fingers and a dull blade.
Guess where I went next.
Did I eat the "Soup of the day" ? I rather donīt think about that too
much.
