Hungry Anyone?
If you lived at our place before the English invaded this country this is what you would have had for dinner – witchetty grubs . They don’t taste revolting – though I’ve only ever tried them cooked and there for not squirming about, but you can eat them raw (or should that be live?) too. The Baldy Boy found this bounty while chopping fire wood (we’re having a cold snap) but for some reason the Twinadoes didn’t fancy me cooking them up for tea so the chooks gobbled them up instead.
Thanks to Uisce for creating Wordless Wednesday(ok so I wasn’t wordless this week, but still). I play at Five Minutes for Mom.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm!
That is the one thing I never tried living in the Kimberley, but my husband reckons they are delicious!
You really struggle with the wordless bit, don’t you!
hehe
err, no thanks. The most adventurous I’ve got with bush food is kangaroo and buffalo.
Ugggggg! I’m soooooo glad I haven’t had breakfast yet! LOL
Yuck! I’m soooooo glad I haven’t had breakfast yet! LOL
I watch Andrew Zimmern eat those on Bizzare Foods and I just DO NOT understand!!!LOL
Oh no, I couldn’t go near them.
Happy WW
I have the perfect pesticide to fix those vermin. I have those throughout my yard. I hate them. Ewww
I’ve never seen such a thing! Nasty looking — we just have their tiny cousins over here in Kansas, about the size of a quarter.
Yucky! No thanks!! LOL
I am going to pass too but they would be great for Halloween:-)
Those would be a great Halloween prop. I don’t think I would have done well back in the day. I just can imagine the squish they make. Ewww!
Mmmmmmmm! I bet they’d be good marinated in some kind of sticky honey-barbeque sauce…
ewwww…I would rather eat grass
great picture though Kate -
Um… nom? Not…
It’s kind of like when my friends eat ducks tongues and chickens feet at yum cha… fascinating in a horrifying kind of way! Even my chooks don’t really care for them tbh. LOL
