"Oh shit its wings have fallen off" is something I hope I never have to say about the food which is about to enter my mouth.

I can honestly say I never thought I'd see the day where Dan is eating something with few problems and Stuart has taken his place gagging offscreen. Incredible.

Damn those strawberries looked beautiful. They where the most perfect strawberries I have ever seen.

So the legends were true. A British man might be on the brink of death after drinking poison, but even they he has to say "cheers" before taking a swip of some medicine.

"Stu and Dan Eat Some Nice Strawberries" -- Add this to Ashens Extra to see how it goes.

At about the 10 minute mark I stopped to realize I was sitting in my home office at 12:30am watching 2 men eat bugs off a plate on the internet. I need to take a hard look at my life.

"never had a reaction like that before" ashens, i happen to remember the century egg.

I think that quite a lot of people would watch a video titled "Dan and Stuart eating delicious stawberries"

I wonder if there's a Chinese KZfaq channel where two blokes dare each other to eat Cadbury's Creme Eggs?

Ingredients: Assorted Bugs, Salt I can make that product from my backyard!, only in plastic.

Oh God, the crunching noises.

Who else thought the strawberries would have had insects in them or something?

"Are you sure? I don't want you to be sick." most unexpected line from Dan, lol. Also, to offset some of people who always whine: Dan is a great foil to Ashens, and I like when he's in the videos. The complaints people make about him are just bizarre.

Yay! I sent in the mixed bugs. It's the first thing I've sent in that got reviewed.

This makes chicken in the can look like a 5star dinner

Thumbs up if Ashens eating strawberries would totally bring in the viewers.

I like Dan. I don't know why you all are whinging.

I always get hungry and munch on snacks during these food specials.

I expected Ashens to rotate the strawberries and reveal that half of it was rotten and infested with maggots. Then I remembered that this was not a movie.

You go out onto your front porch and unscrew the light fixture. You look at the bottom of the glass and see all of the rotting insect fragments. You get a good whiff. You pour it into your mouth. You feel the texture on your tongue. It is dry, crunchy, and somewhat fuzzy. You regret every decision you have ever made.

I once participated in a small fear factor that was held in a facility as a graduation party by my high school. Me and 1 or 2 girls and a few guys participated(two of the guys were foot ball players). First we had to past a easy round of eating raw veggies. Next we had to do a team game of holding a donkey tong in our mouth while going around cones(it was awkward). Then we had to do another team game of one person at one end of a line of cones while the other (with just their mouth) scoops a spoon full of live grasshoppers in honey and goes around the cones and feeds the other person, then switch places and repeat. Next we had to draw a card from a deck randomly, was handed a bowl of lucky charms and what ever the number was on the card was how many alive earth worms you had to put in the cereal and eat. The two food ball guys didn't even try and quit, and I ate it as fast as I could. Everything was rather pleasant until the worms....I almost threw up. finally it was me and my partner against each other. The announcer brought out a plastic wine cup and inside was.......two alive Australian cockroaches. He told us to come to get to know the roaches and I immediately did so while my rival just stood there in horror. I petted it and the announcer was amazed and said, "Everyone, she is petting the cockroach!" After a few minutes of the speaker talking I asked when we start, he said whenever. I grabbed it and tried to hold it still, you won't believe how strong their legs are until you try holding one still. My rival hesitated for 20 seconds or so and tried to grab it but freaked and dropped it on the audience. People freaked of course, and I saw this as a opportunity to get ahead and quickly got a idea...fold it in half so the legs won't claw my tongue or walk around. I ate it as fast as I could.....do NOT eat it.....it was mushy like pudding with grit and crunchy shells. The guts was sooooo ronchy and gross I gagged and was really close to throwing up. luckily I finished and two classmates came to me with cups of water to rinse. The announcer announced that I was the first girl he's seen win; and unknown to me, I won $50! I was just competing for the expedience XD! I had always been unpopular and had no friends (or maybe a couple at most) my whole life and had bad to abusive teachers. However, in that final two hours or so during and after the fear factor, I became more popular and had people all around me praising me, congratulating me, and just simply noticing me, talking to me and smiling with genuine friendliness. I wish I was still in school I miss my classmates and teachers and even the work. Now i'm 20, no friends, no job (currently because my scoliosis hurts too much), live at my mom's with my step-dad and 4 year old half brother, helping around the house with chores and money because they don't have jobs because of their health problems and will soon have my grandparents move in as well because they no longer can take care of them self's and I will help them. I'm not sure what my future has in store for me but...watching this video reminds me of that fear factor day and all the good times; for that, I thank you for all the videos you post that make me laugh and make me forget all my troubles Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ! Thank you to anyone who has sticked through till the end of my long ramble｡(*^▽^*)ゞ !

I love how he teases Dan and wasted strawberries for that :3

You will own nothing, and you will be happy

"Stew and Dan eat some nice strawberries with bugs inside, and give them out to school children, and Stew spends the rest of his life in prison" MAKE IT SO.

Hope they were free range insects.

Everybody hating on Dan, I like him.

Why is everyone hating Dan? I liked him and I wouldn't mind seeing him in more food specials

"eric the asshopper" is now on number 1 on audible.com

So apparently people don't like Dan, it's fair enough to criticise the video and his role in the video but some people really seem to hate him and want rid of him and expect Ashens to bend over and comply to these whims. If I were Ashens and people were demanding that I got rid of one of my close friends I'd keep putting him in videos just to piss people off.

Am I the only one that wants to see one of these videos being filmed, like from a 3rd person perspective? Are these 2 men kneeling in front of a sofa, eating off it with a camera between them?

Here in Mexico, we have a dish called "Chapulines" that are form of grasshoppers but those are very tiny. Chapulines are cooked fried, served with salt and lemon...they taste delicious, and those insects you're showing do not even looked cooked...or boiled as Stuart says. They look like they were killed and just packaged, glad you didn't got poisoned or something.

I had crickets once. They were teriyaki, supposedly. And ideally they were dried. However when I bit into the head there was a vague... Wetness. That was my first and last insect I ate.

"there is a reason humans do not generally eat insects" Every time you say this an evolutionary biologist cries, ashen

Dan is awesome and his voice is also really soothing :) really enjoy videos he's in ^_^ you guys are a great combo!

"Oh bit of meat BIT OF MEAT" is still one of my favourite Ashens quotes

I don't usually watch stuff from four years ago, but Ashens stays strangely relevant and is timeless.

When i saw the strawberries i thought about red dwarf...with the triplicated strawberry. one with maggots in it.

I legitimately don't understand what people don't like about Dan. I think he's great. Hi five for Dan.

Ashens can eat military rations OLDER THAN TIME ITSELF (about 40 years old) and be just fine during it, but a salty insect is the straw that breaks the camels back

I really like Dan. He seems like such a nice guy. It's sad that not everyone likes him. I hope Ashens keep inviting him back. Also I realised that I've been watching Ashens' videos for 9 years. I remember watching the guitar fever video when it first came out

I like having Dan in the videos, it provides conversation rather than just one man talking to himself.

What's with all the hate on Dan? I think he's great...

Hakuna Matata.

When it's late at night and I'm getting a bit hungry but I know I shouldn't eat a snack so late, I just start watching one of Ashens food Specials and I don't need to snack anymore. Thanks Ashens, you helping me eat better :)

Come on Stuart! Gobble up those bastard insects, there are children in Africa that eat shoes!

"is that the grasshoppers arse?" no it's an garsehopper

Given them out to schoolchildren? The school next to where I live won a UK school food award because of the diversity of food they gave the kids - including prepared insects! They dared each other to eat them, and all of them ended up liking them. It's awesome.

This video is bugging me.

I for one, enjoy hearing Dan as a contributor to the food specials.

I also thought they would be hidden in the strawberries

This looks like the sort of food Timon and Pumbaa would love to eat.

I love it when dan is in these videos

*Sees new Ashens video* "Oooooh wow, something funny to watch while I eat my dinner" *Sees title* ... "I'll watch this one later"

7:12 I remember that story, it was called The Grasshopper and the Octopus. The Grasshopper saved up acorns for the winter while the Octopus mooched off his girlfriend. Then the winter came and the grasshopper died and the octopus took all his acorns. And got a racecar.

"...I don't wanna eat these Stuart." I don't know why that's what make me burst out laughing XD

YOU VILL EET ZE BUGZ YOU VILL LIV IN ZE POD YOU VILL OWN NOTHING AND YOU VILL BE HAPPY

Bizarre foods? here in Mexico we can find Chapulines (grasshoppers) at the local market, the grasshopper is one of the most common insects of mexican cuisine, they are very tasty because they are toasted, and sometimes toasted with chili, although i have to say, those bugs of the video don't look that good.

yes.. been waiting for a food special, food vids are just the best!!

I love how you can palp the genuine desperation and shock in Dan's voice as Stuart suddenly drops the hammer on him. 'we're gonna have insects for today, screw you'

The intermission screens make me laugh every time

I'd watch Ashens and Dan eat nice strawberry's, but only if they're covered in whip-cream... Ashens and Dan, not the strawberry's.

Why do I always end up watching Ashens eat weird stuff when I am having dinner. Owell, dont want it to get cold.

Oh, ugh!! Crikey, this is what my pet spider eats!

I honestly thought when they opened the bees they started moving ad that freaked me out

I think Ashens likes making Dan suffer

It's funny how people have no problems what so ever with eating something like shrimps. Have you ever looked at a shrimp? It's basically just a really large insect - but because it lives underwater, there's no problem eating it.

If they passionately fed each other the strawberries this video would get two million views. I would also vomit uncontrollably due to witnessing that.

Dan is a trooper!! Hats off to you mate!!

Get over his whole Dan and Stuart thing. Some variety once in a while is always nice.

I *love* basil seed drink, it's one of my favorites. And you got an off-brand--traditional basil seed drink is flavored with banana extract. (And no, even if you let it sit for six hours, the basil seeds only lightly settle; they won't pack on the bottom, they still float.)

So I'm an ass-hopper now. Amazing.

Salty and crispy on the way down, more wet and vinegary on the way straight back up again.

Call me boring, but I'd prefer to eat the nice strawberries.

Whats with the hate for dan . he is ashens mate and it is ashens show for which you dont pay shit . let him make what he wants

Dan is awesome, he's "Chef Excellence" for real.

Stuart! Dan! A KZfaq video has never made me shudder and feel weird before so congratulations. You've broken new ground. Insects are one of a few things I'm squeamish about. Tuning in was a daft idea :)

Dan is awesome

Wtf is with all the overly possessive egotistical comments in chat? Ashens does solo reviews almost every week. Dan is a fresh take on reviewing and is probably much more more enjoyable for Stewart too. You fools are acting like he should only do what you want, you don't own Ashens, let the man does what he damn well pleases

i was expecting a red dwarf reference in the intro with the strawberries

the strawberry is not the only fruit with seeds on the outside Pine berries do too, the salted insects looked like the contents of the local chipshops insect killer.

anyone else notice that delicacies are almost always disgusting

Dear Dan, Dont bother reading the comments, it gave me aids. Sincerely, Aids sufferer

That first one actually wasn't a maggot, it was a chrysalis, aka cocoon. Also silica gel isn't poisonous, it's essentially just sand, but it can give you an upset stomach if you ate a lot of it though.

Eric the asshopper, sounds like the themesong to a movie that I wouldnt recommend renting.

I want Stuart to mix all of these things up into a smoothie of doom and then drink it on camera.

made the biggest mistake of my life opened a bag of crisps/potato chips started munching then watched this video without reading the title. Now excuse me while I throw up.

Seeing only their hands making gestures as they talk reminds me of one of those old commercials.

Is this video Bear Grylls approved?

"I'm going to put the whole thing in my mouth" - Ashens 2014

Ashens goes deeper and deeper into the madness of food. Soon he will be eating a mummified German soldier from WW1.

I literally lost it when he said “there’s a reason for that.” Also, honey bees are endangered...and here comes japan saying “let’s eat the babies!!”

In grade school we were once offered chocolate coated ants. They were actually pretty good.

I think if I tried to sum up why people prefer videos of just Stuart, it wouldn't be that we dislike Dan. He comes across as a great guy. I think there's more of a connection when it's just Stu. Like he's talking to us, interacting with us. When Dan is there, they are interacting together and we are just watching (or hearing) them go on about their business with each other.

What crap falls in the cracks of your Sofa?

Who's out here eating bees? We need those!

Ashens is usually a lot more chipper during these food specials but bugs were simply too much for him to handle!

It's a scary thing sitting alone and eating unidentified crud.That and I think Dan satisfies some internal need on Ashens part to torture his friends.

I would actually like to see a special where he and Dan eat food they really like

Eric the Arsehopper was the best story ever! I loved having it read to me as a little kid as a bedtime story!

I like how every time there was a cut for "technical difficulties", an ad jumped in. =P
