No bugs--or ANY raw meat for this chick, thank you.



Lovely caterpillar, Jackie.(yeh,that's them allright!) I know about those greens too , which they usuallly cook with a dried sort of catfish. I like that. You know we eat raw salted herring as a national delicacy ? I love it. The Africans abhor raw herring equal to my disgust of their caterpilllars.

Curuinor , what an interesting way to put : "they taste disturbingly crunchy". Does that mean nice or not? Is crunchy not rather a quality of the texture in stead of of the taste?

Elisabeth, (c?) silantro or choriander, when I first met with those leaves I was repulsed by the heavy smell of what I thought was dirty dishwashing cloth. But that became quickly a favorite herb. The fastest aquired taste I remember.

Bugs. I guess if we lived in places where there would be a protein shortage we would quickly adept to the taste of bugs. And I would close my eyes on the black and the yellow. Or get to like them.
