The tapir looks like normal food. I've had monkey and gator but I'd eat the rest only under orders from above.
HTOITA
okay, so I've gotten used to the thought of the worms over the last year or so I've read your blog.....which leaves me with this dilemma....
what is grosser.....termites or grubs?
tough call!!
MM, grubs.
Rebbeccah,
Termites, uh, yeah. Not for enjoyment, mind you. Just to try them and say I had. They are not bad, not good, just something in your mouth.
*stomach flips*
Lovely. I'll stick with my own diet. Although I've heard alligator is deliche!
grubs... NONE for me!
Thank.you.very.much.
Ok. I'm speechless. I've had gator but NONE of those other things.
My hat is off to you woman. I'm impressed.

Palm grubs?!!! And earth worms!!
Everything else I can go along with, but those two did me in! Ewww! :)
Did you eat them for the fun of it or so that you would be more accepted with the Indians?
oh wow! God sure knows who is calling where and why. :)
Well, for sure this gives you a lot of cool missionary stories to tell the kids classes while on furlough. They must to all love you :)
Way to go! I've only had gator. It was better than the frog legs I had tried, though. LOL
God definitely knows who to put where, huh?
Many Blessings,
Sis. Tammy
Sorry,
I grew up with Guacamaya's... to eat one would be akin to cannibalism. The rest I could probsbly eat, if my life depended upon it... ;-)
Wow ! You know Rita sometimes when I look at your posts from the jungle and remember how long you lived there,and knowing just how much of an adjustment you must of made, I can just imagine how much you must love it and miss it.
I think when we have to make such a great effort that we need to put all our heart and understanding into it, then it becomes just that much more special and a part of us than if we hadn't had to change that much.
Questions: How long did you live in the jungle until you were able to try these things? Were any of them actually tasty enough that you ate them more than once? Were these things eaten during regular dinner, or say while sitting around the campfire like we would roast marshmallows? Did your kids try more things than you did? Did you ever offer such food to visitors??? :) Thanks!!! Oh--one more--were any of those things eaten by the Indians like we eat candy?!?!
I was doing okay until you got to the grubs.
I know, I know, they're packed with protein!
Ugh. That monkey reminds me of the Philippines. They sell monkey there in stands by the road, it looked like cooked babies to me.
I can see it now. For a limited time only Micky D's new Monkey brains and Tarantula McMufin. For a limited time only. Yum Yum !!
I have eaten Grubs,Termites, gator, dog and who knows what else ( don't ask in some places )
