the Bear SG this is from a website of a parson somewhere in East Malaysia in Sarawak Eating Sago Worms! A pictorial presentation of the preparation of a perfect worm meal. First get a bunch of sago worms - they have to be alive and fresh (i.e. still crawling!). The ones you are looking at were collected at our farm. After washing the worms and marinating them with salt, fry them! Here you see Suze doing the honors. Fry the worms until they stop crawling and turn slightly brown and crispy. Then break each worm in half (if not they will pop!). Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "fry until crisp". The worms are coming along well... keep stirring. The aroma is heavenly. Peace to the world! Here they are, all crisp and crunchy, ready for the mouth and stomach (of those who can stomach these delicious worms!). Time for some heavenly snack - they taste real good . . . like cream in a crispy skin (with a slight peanut taste). Wanna have some? (source: Pastor Peter de Run's site ) I'd eat them
the Bear SG ahh.. the Western Culture influenced us more than we know... every culture except the western one ate things like insects and bugs as a good source of protein..
the Bear SG i'd eat them even if i wasn't starving c'mon people, it's protein just like stuff in the sea... prawns are the equivalent of cockroaches, sea cucumbers (sorry qq) are the equivalent of earthworms, crabs are the same as scorpions and spiders... just the way we were conditioned to think... just think out of the box
Seacucumber SG i admit, i am a chicken when comes to food trying, not a risk taker. die die wouldnt eat food that are not "well presented" to me.
the Bear SG like my sister.. tell her frog legs, don't want to eat.. put into porridge and just shred, she eats, thinking it's chicken.. i'd rather know what i'm eating oh, thinking of going to gorge ourselves on sushi, wanna join in?
Maya061 SG They eat that in Maluku. Yeah, Bear is rite..full of protein. Healthy food. QQ, u should eat..keke... When u were so hungry, worm taste quite delicious. I ate once...he..he..
the Bear SG cool i got a supporter in maya sago worms are pretty much like the wichety grubs of australia i think... my regret not to have tried it when i was there..
the Bear SG not too sure yet.. it was being discussed in another thread somewhere.. at the place choco knows.. sushi buffet thing
kalangkabo SG yup. think it's psychological... got friends who refuses to eat pregnant fish, fish roe etc. personally think i can take grasshoppers and scorpions (but haven't actually tried). but don't think can swallow maggots, earthworms, caterpillars and the likes...
gasband SG I dun mind eating weird stuff as long they are not raw, most importantly….i cant stand most things raw regardless gross or not…
Seacucumber SG oh! the $35 thingy? next time we should start a new thread for our activities so that all will be informed. being a secretary i'll try to oversee this matter...
