Lol. They aren't going to eat them. Those apes were probably captured and tranquelized so that they could be sent back to a wildlife reserve park. Those men in uniforms resemble park rangers. 3 Likes |

I can be wrong, but ... The terrible thing of all this is that I do not think that hunger is the reason. 2 Likes |

Primates are the only animals that any group of Africans (Congolese) eat that's "werid" (weird). Everything else is fair game and perfectly reasonable except maybe some insects if any groups do eat them. And I suspect that the only reason they eat the gorillas at all is because there isn't another comparable source of protein easily available. There's no real substitute for the kind of satisfaction that one feels from eating meat. |

That's disgusting why do Congolese do that if it is true? A lot of images online can be edited, but that is just downright disgusting. |

Fulaman198: That's disgusting why do Congolese do that if it is true? A lot of images online can be edited, but that is just downright disgusting. Yeah. Pretty gross. Worse than eating horse or dog by far. But the thing is there are quite a large number of primates in that area and humans would at some point end up killing them. Inevitably, someone would try to cook and eat it. Still revolting though. 1 Like |

"Come try, it tastes like biltong" said the grinning waiter at the Boma restaurant in Victoria Falls. It was the right enticement, I happen to absolutely love biltong. But chewing on a grub? As fortune would have it, I had been wanting to taste a Mopane worm (Imbrassia belina) for some time, and it looked like the time was now. The mopane worm is not actually a worm, but a caterpillar. It's a delicacy in some parts of Southern Africa and considered a bush food in others. But everyone agrees, it is highly nutritious and some regard it as truly delicious. What Did the Mopane Worm Taste Like? The Boma restaurant is a classic tourist venue set in the lovely grounds of the Victoria Falls Safari Lodge. Dinner at the Boma is a legendary affair, with what looks like literally hundreds of local dishes served in buffet style, including impala terrine and sadza. A witchdoctor is available to tell your fortune by throwing his bones; dancers entertain with Shona and Ndebele acts; and then ... there's the vat of Mopane worms. The worms were fried with tomatoes, onions and garlic, none of which really disguised the black head from the grubby, grey body. I popped it into my mouth and began to chew, and chew, and chew, and chew. The sucker was difficult to swallow and I had forgotten my water. The waiter beamed, his teeth were almost blinding in the light of the big braai fire that was roasting a tasty looking warthog. The initial taste of the Mopane worm wasn't so bad, hidden by the garlic and onions. But as I continued to chew, the real flavor became unmasked and I detected a blend of earth, salt and drywall. It wasn't very good. I did manage to swallow it finally and because this was a touristy affair, I even got a certificate to prove it. I value this certificate above the one I got for bungee jumping off the Victoria Falls bridge. More Facts and Fascinating Information About the Mopane Worm Most people who enjoy Mopane worms obviously do not get certificates when they eat a solitary grub. Normally, you'll see huge bags of dried and/or smoked Mopane worms in local markets throughout rural Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa and Namibia. They're greyish looking when dried (after their green guts have been squeezed out) and at first glance you might think they're a bean of some kind The Mopane worms like the Mopane tree, but they also feed off mango trees and other bushes.

Freesia: I don't know how ethnic groups is questionable, here is the definition of an ethnic group: pertaining to or characteristic of a people, especially a group (ethnic group) sharing a common and distinctive culture, religion, language, or the like. I don't know what ethnic group you are, but my ethnic group is Fulani or Fula. Our language is Fulfulde, most of us are Muslim, and the culture we share is called Pulaagu. |
