Mmmm, crunchy…
My father didn’t often make dinner when we were kids but when he did it we knew it was going to be ‘special’.
One day dad decided to make Chlli Con Carne, a spicy meat dish served with rice.
The meal was served up. It smelled good, it looked good….mmm, it even tastes good….hmmm, hey dad, what are these little brown squishy worm things all in the rice?? Looks like…..ummm, maggots?
Hmmm, yeah, weevils had gotten into the rice, laid their eggs and those eggs had hatched into squiggly discusting larvae which now happened to be in our dinner. They were dead now, but they were definately still there.
Dad hadn’t noticed this all through the cooking process and was now not going to let this oversight ‘spoil’ our meal. Despite our loud protests Dad demanded we eat the meal, worms and all!!
After all, in dads words “the larvae add extra protein”. Shaddup and eat!
Tasty!
