Wow - the worm recipe. Speechless at the brave guys who ate their portion. I am all for eating local, but eating worms from my tomato plants is a hit.. too close to home.

![]() But in the picture link did see same. But you helped out when you said all fused in a row, then that made sense to me which it didn't before you noted that. ![]() Carolyn

Worm tacos taste good. Maybe not horned tomato ones,; the maguey worm is tasty fried and salted. Protein is protein, and this is pretty far from soylent green.

And I ask b/c I often watch Vet Ranch vids from TX and as I skip around I got caught in a list of both dogs and cats infected with Mango worms and had never heard of them before. They had to spend hours pinching and kneading all parts of those animals to see the worms being expressed, yes,I watched as well and mainly found in tropical areas. Yes, free protein, but methinks I'd rather chew on leather given the choice. ![]() Carolyn, who, when she was in Denver was given a box of chocolates, bit into one and there was the compound eye of a dead grasshopper. ![]()

Agreed, not all protein is created equal.
In a pinch,? Pinch nose, close eyes, in it goes. |

I'm not saying go all out like the bald guy on the food network. Just saying crickets and worms, when cooked appropriately, make a great stuffing for tacos in southern Mexico. Also, they are an integral part of the diet of peoples around the world, ick factor notwithstanding. I do understand the ick factor quite well, as I'd rather eat insects than some specialty cheeses (they taste rotten to me). If you want to torture me, force feeding of a really strong brie will do. Relatively strange fungi are not my cup of tea either, especially huitlacoche. To me they taste like I've licked a lichen covered rock. Maguey worm likes plants. The mango seems to be one of those anyone breathing CO2 will do kind of worms. Last edited by Gerardo; January 18, 2016 at 08:38 PM. |

Aha, and now we know a few of the food items you don't like. Send me your Brie,I love it, and same for Camembert since you probably don't like that either/ I've not tried corn smut that you mentioned above but others say it is absolutely delicious. And how many times have you licked a lichen (love the alliteration) covered rock? ![]() Carolyn

Now I have to go out and lick a rock to see what huitlacoche (corn smut) tastes like.

Oh, I'll stick to Brie... and Blue Cheese too! Doesn't matter if worms are organic and fair trade
![]() I have a hard time even eating snails - a delicacy in some European cuisines. Shrimps, mussels, anything that is crawling... eeeeeek. A lamb stew is always a reliable choice, and I would not mind eating the eyes / brains / whatever parts of the animal are eaten in some cultures. Given it is a healthy one, I'll eat it all... |

I have had the first two several times because it was eat or starve on the farm but not the latter nor will ever if I can help it. ![]() One time a bunch of guys were having a june bug eating contest and swallowing them whole. Just to best everyone I put a live one between my front teeth and slowly squeezed until it popped and then I chewed it up and swallowed it with whiskey. One time a buddy of mine was in a meeting with more people some of them new and didn't know him. We had the windows open in the conference room and one of the new guys was sitting next to George. A katydid landed on the table and George stared at it a minute then tilted his head sideways and looked closer. Acting in all manner like a bird or cat. Then he snatched the thing up and ate it. I thought the new guy was going to fall out of his chair. ![]() Worth |
