Grubs, very yummy

BloodyDoe:
Yes I can.... As long as the food in question consist of 90% flesh and it’s very chewy, I’ll eat it.

My mother always say she can trust me even with human meat.

It is HUMAN FLESH, not Human Meat.

There is nothing like human meat.

Even if na troll or cruise, just correct yourself.

The two names you mentioned there are not Igbo names oo, maybe what you call it in your place, I’m from Anambra and it’s not what we call it.

It might differ from what you call it in your place, however that is the nomenclature in my Igbo home-town.

Yes, these are larva sourced from waned raffia palm tree which later metamorphosed to a kind of beetle found mostly in fresh palm wine. The Igbo name for this type of beetle is 'Akpakiri'. The other kind of larva is sourced from withered oil palm tree which metamorphosed to rhino beetle that you referred, Igbos call it 'Otugbu'. However, both are edible and nutritious.

You should be teaching Omenaala in a community secondary School.

I remember one time in the village, my grandfather calling me and saying bia were akwa, which means come and take eggs .
I excitedly ran to him, only to be given these live creatures; No, thank you sir. 🤣🤣

So, can you eat these?
Have you had them before?
If you have, how do they taste?
What do you call them in your language?

This is Palmwine weevil, it's popular here In Rivers State and Bayelsa state.

I ate it once at Delta state, Oghara. Thought it would be so tasty but later started irritating my guts. Couldn't eat more than one.

omooba969:
You would not cook and post, but steal pictures from the internet and start disturbing us.

It would be refreshing if you can start posting your cooking so we can comment on it.

Just my observation.

You're the only one who's disturbed apparently.
Not that I'm surprised though.

Try to loosen up and be happy.
