Salma Hayek eating fried frog on ' Watch What Happens Live'

Salma Hayek ate worms and a deep fried frog during her appearance on 'Watch What Happens Live' on Wednesday, August 12... an that wasn't the only bizarre thing she did!

Salma is known for her odd eating habits, particularly when it comes to insects.

Back in April, Hayek posted an Instagram video of herself crunching on a cricket. Inspired by that footage, host, Andy Cohen introduced a new game called “Will Salma Eat It?” in which a variety of boxes containing mystery foods were opened, and Hayek was given the choice whether or not to eat it.

The first box contained a deep fried frog, of which Hayek happily took a bite, and revealed, “I eat this all the time. It’s very famous in France.'' A jalapeno directly followed, and Hayek chomped into it without hesitation. Hayek then gladly dug into stir fried silk worms. ''I’ll eat that. These are Mexican,'' said the actress.

The next box contained gefilte fish, a Jewish delicacy, with which Hayek wasn’t familiar. ''It’s kind of like Spam for Jews,” explained Cohen, to which Hayek replied, ''This is where I draw the line.'' However, she decided to go ahead and give it a try, but after tasting the pungent fish, she said, ''I’ll stick with the worms.''

Finally, a can of spray cheese was brought out, which Hayek squirted directly into her mouth. So what won’t Hayek eat? ''No onions,'' she revealed after the game ended.
