Model-turned-competition-eater Nela Zisser has been munching up a storm in Asia.
On a whirlwind trip to Thailand, the former Miss Earth New Zealand devoured 10 scorpions in 90 seconds, scoffed a hairy tarantula and downed a 2kg feast of curry.
"The scorpions looked disgusting but they didn't taste all that bad," she told the Herald on Sunday.
"They were crunchy, salty and a bit weird, but not unlike beef jerky.
"The large tarantula is by far the worst thing I have ever eaten. It was deep-fried and very dry but it was also pretty hairy. I had trouble keeping it down.
