Used to eat them a lot when i was in the villa many years ago.

Disgusting

Love it . Especially with kpo kpo garri

Those things are very nutritious. Our houseboy and my mum were the only ones that ate them in our house those days. Come and see how they would be smacking their lips and licking the oil off their lips . If you see as den just dey download the stuff with kpo-kpo Garri, you sef go wan chop the thing. And I did once. It tasted good

nawa ooo are u crazyee ni who would eat worm even its edible.abeg i woyld i write my own topic

Noooo

guilty as charged! ps am sorry they make me do it.

@op: these are not worms, but the larvae of the stag beetle. They are usually harvested from dead palm trees and are a popular delicacy in South-east Nigeria.

It's got some great protein content and known as AKPA in my dialect.

Take this (roasted, boiled or raw) with palm wine and you will believe the gospel!

Some yorruba pple. Call it. Moni moni can't eat it though

Never tasted them before. They look yummy and good to be eaten.How can these be exported to Abuja I need to try these...

Are those not silk worms. Story for anoda day though.

Flexskillz: Some people can eat anything sha! D sight is in itself irritating! Some people can eat anything sha! D sight is in itself irritating!

You can close your eyes you know. its not different from crayfish you know if you have been to Chinese restaurants you will appreciate this delicacies.

In the south they call it 'Bayelsa suya' when i lived in ph and Bayelsa i ate it a lot, its really good especially when fried.

Na wa O, everybody is forming yuck!yuck!yuck! They probably had it for dinner breakfast and lunch. I used to eat these when we lived in warri, nothing wrong with it. Actually it is eaten by many tribes who live close to a forest because it is found in the trunk of dead palm trees.They are the larvae of the Red Palm Weevil a type of beetle.

The sweetest thing ever. Wow wish I could get it live right now

This is the same way you were yummying on "do you eat frog" thread.
Kai!

As a Bayelsa Boi concern, am ready to eat it all day bt get ready to get burst cos it contains a lot of fat

Err..I haven't seen this let alone taste it but I will sure eat it if I see. Some sharp Niger-deltan will now ship this delicacy to Abuja and Lagos and start raking millions.

They look like mutant maggots to me.

Olorun maje.... *pukes*

Afam4eva: Aren't those maggots? Tufiakwa

ur village maggots.

We call it IPE in my dialet. Its very delicious.
