Eating Larvae In the Amazon

Visiting Brazil last year was a cool experience.  Above all spending a few days at the Amazon Eco Lodge up river from Manaus provided a unique opportunity to go on a guided walk into the rain forest and see nature up close and personal.  Here I'm tasting some larvae that has been growing inside a small pod.  While I'm usually apt to speak endlessly, it was difficult to describe aside from having the texture of a soft cheese.  Otherwise, I think it tasted "coconutty."

  1. I thought for a second you were going to 'toss your larvae'.

    Reminds me a bit of people eating grubs in PNG. I couldn't hack it. Kudos.
