Why does that picture make me think of, "The Invasion of the Body Snatchers"

I got news for you, folks. You're already eating them - and worse - every day of your life. Now, I'm not saying that a handful of crunchy maggots washed down with your beer is something to cap off a day with, but most people don't have a clue about what is in their food. Better to not know. Move along. Nothing to see.

Mexican maggots doing the work even German maggots won't do. As el presidente Vincente Fox was saying...

If it ain't fat it ain't food.The nice restaurants will give you a little tub of flavored lard to spread on your bread.

Well, there went my dinner, lunch, AND breakfast, all in one! Seriously, I think they've been serving that for years in college cafeterias.

"There was a soft juicy bit in the middle around the crunchy shell." YUCK!

Are German maggots so inferior that they need to import Mexican maggots?No. It's just that they are being meals that German maggots aren't willing to do...

I've never conceived of trying to eat fried maggots. However, I've eaten teriyaki grasshoppers before and it's surprisingly good (and no bad texture to gross you out as you eat it).
I have however, tried eating silk worms, apparently a snack in Korea. They are usually fried, similar to what the article describes, but the ones I was offered were canned, and very wet and juicy, and this this horrible texture once you bit into them... I won't go into further detail. I will say that I seriously gagged and nearly vomited from that. I guess I'm not much of a contender for fear factor, hehe.

He is now considering starting his own maggot farm in Europe. This is just too priceless. GO EU! GO EU!

Fried food is bad for our health-I prefer my maggots steamed.

We have a local pest control company here in South Florida who has a radio ad that claims that the average American ingests 80 "bugs" in their sleep during their lifetime.
Pretty creepy, but not hard to imagine.

Yeah... Closest I've got is the Tequila worm. I'll leave the rest of the insect world to the sober among me.
