Former England football captain David Beckham is nothing if not adventurous. He, who is currently on a trip to Mexico, took to social media on Monday to reveal his newfound interest in something that is rarely, if ever, seen at his favorite high-end restaurants. Insects. Lots and lots of bugs.
The former Manchester United and England midfielder moved to Mexico City as he took on one of the city’s long-standing culinary traditions at a local food shop.
He was in the countryside with his wife Victoria, 48, and their children Cruz, 17, and Harper, 11, at the wedding of family friend Marc Anthony at the weekend. The athlete was one of the best men, and Victoria designed the bride’s elegant dresses Daily writing reports.
On Instagram, Beckham shared photos with her 77 million followers of freshly made guacamole, rice pudding, salsa and salad, along with a bowl of what others would consider unappetizing.

Dead insects, usually added to sauces and cocktails, were ready to mingle and decorate the traditional food collection.
Beckham’s immediate admission of adding dead insects to the menu came as the European Union (EU) gave the green light for two other types of insects to be used as human food.
