Ecuador ~ One more Delicacy


  

We thought eating Cuy was a stretch! Our edge just keeps being s t r e t c h e d,  this time we were invited to sample plump writhing palm larvae, impaled and then roasted to perfection in minutes!

         

Oh Mi Gato! Yes, we ate them and survived.

                                    

Again, after we got over the visual and emotional revulsion and actually had the morsels fully submerged in our mouths, mid chew....

                         

they tasted good, much better than any escargot we have eaten. 

                                            

Bon Appétit! or Buen Provecho!

  1. I would honestly starve to death if I was faced with a choice between no food, or eating grubs. Thanks for the dining review (and for helping me keep to my diet - nothing sounds very appealing at this moment).
