When we were at the asian market the other day, we spied a can of "Silkworm pupa", which is supposedly a popular Korean street food. I'm all for sustainable eats so I thought, why not? Let's try it!
Would you eat these? Here's what they look like:

The verdict?
It has a crunchy exterior and a mushy center that squirted out when you bit into it. Yes, I know, my first mistake was biting it at all but I wanted to taste the crunch! Scott said it reminded him of a chestnut because of the soft center and nutty flavor, and I think it's a pretty good description.
I read that some street vendors fry them and put chili on it, which would probably be much better than these canned ones. These weren't horrible but definitely not great either. My final take on these is: I tried it so you don't have to!! You're welcome!
Very brave of Evie! How does she do with offal?
