“See the hard part where you have the teeth? Take the fangs out. I think it’s always been a part of the diet (in Cambodia), 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,” said Jolie.

The Maleficent actor demonstrated how to cook and enjoy the local delicacy to her children Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and eight-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.
