Except snake and pork( just don't like the fat everywhere), I can eat anything unless I don't like the taste or it upsets my tummy

Konquest:
An interesting thread. It shows the different names that folks in Nigeria call this delicacy.

Surprisingly, after doing a quick scan of the feedbacks from pages 1 to 6, I noticed that the Yoruba folks have up to five names for this winged insect delicacy depending on regional Yoruba dialects, but Esunsun is the most prevalent name. Hausas call it Shinge, Ibos call it Aku with other suffix variants added to Aku, Ebiras call it Ivo, Bini-Edos call it Edon, Esan-Edos call it Irikhun, Tivs call it Hur, Akwa Ibom and Cross Rivers folks call it Ndube.

Very interesting. More than I expected.

I've gotten to know some Nigerian tribes/languages I never knew existed.

By the way Mr Konquest, it's Igbo not Ibo.
