Its called Eruru in my dialect, used to eat it when I was younger whenever we travelled to the village. Its not maggot but the larvae of a beetle that stays in the palm tree. I have also eaten the beetle. Very tasty! I craved for it when I was pregnant and was so happy when my husband got them for me. Its sooooo delicious, am actually salivating now!

I used to buy edible worm at Sapele anytime I'm travelling from Benin to Warri and back. Infact because of edible worm, I don't fly direct from Lagos to Warri. I'll typically fly to Benin and take a vehicle to Warri so I can stop at Sapele and nourish my soul with this delicacy.

This edible worm sef, made my then girlfriend to stop kissing me for a some time. There was a time we flew from Lagos to Benin together for the first time and when we were going by road to Warri from Benin, I told the driver to stop at Sapele to buy the edible worm. When she saw it, she nearly fainted. She never knew I could eat something like that. And she told me not to buy it. I refused and bought my sweet delicacy. All through that our stay in Warri, I didn't receive any kiss oh. Anyway sha the relationship didn't last long after that because anyone that can stop me from my edible worm, does not love me.

It's been a while I went to Warri oh. Abeg, na where I go fit see my darling edible worm buy for Lagos? Who knows please?

Reminds me way back in primary school. We dealt with this stuff real good.
One of the richest source of protein! I've not set my eyes on them for over 20years though.

They're extinct, thanks to you and your primary school mates.

Just because you eat them doesn't mean they are edible. Don't glorify maggots.

Stop feeling smug. When jungle don mature, even human flesh would assume the status of a delicacy to you.

I know you would call that" edible" as well. Just because YOU eat it.

The thread will then be " Do you eat edible Humans?" No I don't . shocked

These things you jut posted are not the same edible worms that are eaten in Nigeria. Please get your facts right. The beetle larvae is rich in protein and is a delicacy to some southern Nigerians. What you posted is not the larvae.
