Caviar of the Pacific - Balolo!

Yep! I ate these (worms)!
 
 
We were "fortunate" enough to be visiting a village when these were "in season."
If you really want to be grossed out, check out more about these things (g02 9/8 - Balolo)

  1. D!!! I'm impressed! Do you cook them or eat them "raw"? what did they taste like???

  2. They were cooked in the leaf that they are holding, in the motu (ground oven). I couldn't even think about the taste, cos the feeling was so strange - the thought of what I was eating alone was making me gag!

  3. At least they were cooked! They look a bit like coloured spaghetti. Mix them with an italian tomato sauce and you'd never know.... yeah right :)
