A Wormy Day

I get strange things in the lab from time to time to deal with...

The other day, lo and behold, it was some WORMS!

Wooooowww...

Interesting little things. They weren't alive. Thank goodness for that.

They looked to be dry roasted.


I am a true girl. Don't like this type of stuff at all. Yuck.

But at least they weren't squishy and wet and in a can. (Yes, we get canned worms sometimes).

Worms and bugs are edible and good for protein. They are not eaten much in this country. These worms are imported from Asian.

I don't care if they are edible. You will not hear me hollering "Yo, bring me back a bag of worms if you happen to stop by the grocery store."

Uh, no.

One of our specialists was working with a gang of shrimp and fish while I worked on prepping my worms.

I told him, all this seafood up in here, all we need is some hot grease and we can fry it ALL. And we can make good salad, and add the worms for a little crunch.

He looked at me... And he was careful not to give me a crazy look... Because I might be crazy. LOL.

Anyway, I grinded up my worms to a fine meal.

The smell reminded me of something I'd had before.

Smelled like pork skins!

Yum!

LOL

That was a fun thing to work with. I wasn't as squeamish as I usually am with things like that.

A coworker had grasshoppers, but I didn't get a picture of those.

Maybe next time!
