Wordless Wednesday – Bush Tucker

Posted on October 22, 2008 18 Comments

Hungry Anyone?

grubs

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.

    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.

    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!

    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
