The Sun is making a big deal out of the fact that Angelina Jolie and Maddox once ate crickets while they were at a restaurant in Cambodia. Impoverished Cambodians began eating crickets out of necessity during Pol Pot’s tyrannous regime in the 1970s and they’re now a delicacy in the country. They’re said to be quite good fried up with oil.

WACKY ANGELINA JOLIE has fed INSECTS to her adopted son Maddox.

The actress, 31, and partner BRAD PITT bought the five-year-old a plate of crickets — a delicacy in the tot’s native Cambodia.

She said: “I recently took Mad to Cambodia and it was the first trip there where he really understood it. We took him to a restaurant in the middle of the night and he had his first plate of crickets.”

The high-protein bugs — reminiscent of TV’s Bushtucker Trials — are popular in the South East Asian country. They are often served with guts intact.

Angelina has previously eaten cockroaches and bee larvae and wants to learn how to cook them at home.

The Sun even has a list of “foods” Angelina can serve her kids, like Cockroach-au-vin, Egg-fried lice, and Flea cheeses pizza. Maddox is Cambodian and if people eat crickets there and he wants to try it, why make fun of Angelina or call her weird? If I was in Cambodia I’d eat one. They’re not live so it’s not all Fear Factor or anything.
