    I don't eat gross crap....
    Thanks for your valuable contribution.


    I mean seriously. If it's gross-WHY EAT IT?

    Duh.

    "Bragging rights" are not worth it. Sorry.

    What if there's money involved? :smile:


    Still a no. Not worth it to me. I don't care how much money. *shudder*

    What if it was a matter of survival?

    Speaking for myself, as a child we were not allowed to be picky. We were always thankful for whatever was on the table for dinner.

    You'd be surprised at how yummy liver & onions or wild rabbit sounds when you don't have much else to pick from...

    Cow tongue, fries, and heart. Some form of sausage involving pig's blood.Several forms of octopus and squid. And probably whatever I ate when I studied in Mexico because I had no idea what it was half the time. Ignorance may be bliss.

    That was the thing here on the farm,you ate what you produced and bought little because there was no money for it.
    Potatoes were an every meal as was a chunk of meat of some variety,it was just life and you accepted it or whined and went hungry.

    One of those fat, green caterpillars. Mistakenly thought my 4-yr old nephew would forget about my promise that I'd eat it AFTER he was done playing with it. An hour later he came back & said OK, I'm done playing with it. Couldn't let him down :sick:

    I ate caterpillar larvae once. It used to be a popular snack in Korea. :noway:
    My boyfriend had that when he was working in Korea. Only it was silkworm larvae. He said it tasted kind of like chestnuts.

    Yes, come to think of it, it might have been silkworm. But at this point, it's a minor technicality. Larvae is a larvae. :laugh: And to me it tasted like "yuck!". :sick:
