m00se Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 You're not weird, that was my thought too....Me too. I haven't actually eaten a worm intentionally, either, so for all we know they're delicious. Quote Link to comment

SusieBlu Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 http://people.howstuffworks.com/entomophagy3.htmI always thought if I was presented with an opportunity to eat cooked bugs, as in they aren't moving any more, I wouldn't pass up the chance.

Oogiem Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Happens fairly regularly if you get really fresh food. The only time I got grossed out was when a worm wriggled in my mouth just as I was getting ready to chomp down, I spat out the salad and inspected the rest before eating it. There are worse things to eat but I don't like my food wriggling when I eat it. Cooked or at least dead is my motto. BTW insects are very high in some really good fats and are an important part of the diet of many peoples. For me I'd rather eat insects or snakes or mice than eat fermented foods like the auk/seal turducken thing the inuit eat or ludafisk (sp?) or even kimchi. The only fermented stuff I like is cheese, beer, whisky & wine Quote Oogie McGuire Black Sheep Shepherdess STR 4.25 | DEX 4.5 | STA 3.75 | CON 3 | WIS 4.75 | CHA 1 Link to comment

Hermione Gainser Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 hehehehehe tiny bears! <3As far as bugs in food: yup. a lot. I frequently find aphids in my kale (I think they are aphids). I just wash it really, really well.. and hey.. extra protein if I miss one. And sometimes just other little buggies in other produce. My logic, whether correct or incorrect, is that if the buggies want it then maybe it is just that good. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!HOWEVER, worms freak me out a bit. I don't know why. I stopped buying chia seeds from the farmer's market b/c I kept finding little white worms in them. I couldn't figure out what they were (chiaworm? tiny bear in training?) so I just got rid of the seeds. :shudder: Quote "I'm just going to remember to not eat like an asshole most of the time" - MoC three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: one must squat.- Brobert Frost Half-Elf Warrior | Current Challenge New Battle Log | Old Battle Log Special thanks to AkLulu for drawing my awesome avatar!

REKER Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 If any of you eat sunflower seeds, you've most definitely eaten a couple worms. Roasted of course. Quote Link to comment
oystergirl Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 alecto, before cutting your peaches, soak them in a deep barrel with salted water for about 2 hours. The worms come right out and the peaches do not soak up the salt.one of my favorite books to read to my kids when they were babies was...little bear!

StrengthIsBeauty Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 LMAO great thread!I had a science teacher in 6th grade explain that there is rat turds in peanut butter (similar to what OysterGirl mentioned) and there is all kinds of stuff we don't know about in what we eat. Be happy you found that little guy/gal before you were chewing on it ;^) You did well to not waste the rest of the berries because of your discovery 8^D Quote Run Loba, Run Link to comment

REKER Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Haha, I still eat them all the time. Back when I played baseball, we tried to find out what seeds were the occasional nasty one (You know that sour-burnt-nasty tasting seed you get every now and then.) Long story short, we ate a bag of David seeds, seed by seed and found three seeds with a little larvae inside. Yes we ate them and yes they are the culprit. Quote Link to comment
Corbab Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 I always thought if I was presented with an opportunity to eat cooked bugs, as in they aren't moving any more, I wouldn't pass up the chance. My motto when if comes to food is "Try everything once, if it kills you don't try it again."I've eaten crickets and tarantulas cooked, and I have to say they're pretty tasty. In southern Mexico, they roast crickets with garlic and chili and salt them. In Cambodia, I had a couple of tarantulas from a roadside vendor--they taste like barbecue, only a bit fattier. Still tasty, and our driver took home some live ones to cook himself. Bit too far for me...

Lachy Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 You know the part that freaks me isn't the worm, its the fact that the berries lasted 2 weeks! Shouldn't they have gone off by then? Quote Battle Log - Facebook Link to comment
andygates Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Half a worm is worse. Quote Link to comment
