There are certain 'delicacies' that I will never be caught dead eating, and the ones you're about seeing are some of them. I mean, really!! The irony is that some of them are considered delicacies in Nigeria.

Which have you eaten, and which ones will dare attempt to eat? Go on the journey with me as we explore five of the creepiest insects Nigerians snack on

Locust.

I recall during my service year, the villagers in my PPA were mad about locusts. Catch 'em, salt, 'em, fry 'em and eat with garri Ijebu. *puke*




Crickets

My grandma was a lover of crickets, but thankfully that love did not extend to her grand kids


Palm Weevil Larva


Winged Termites

The villagers in my aforementioned PPA were also termite crazy. Salted termites in local soup and pounded yam...yummy..

what u call palm weevil lavar, i call maggot. seriously, i'm crazy abt dem

Omg I feel like throwing up am sorry but have never and can't eat any of them

These are among the few delicacies that provided the people of old with life-prolonging nutrients. That is why they were alien to kidney diseases, liver problems, cancer, high blood pressure, etc. I really missed some of them.
