Good work.

burgers made of worms!!! wtf

@makesushi The word worm is a bit confusing here, it's a larva of a beetle. People feed them to fish, birds and reptiles. They're considered safe for human consumption and are processed into food.

High in protein, low in fat and low in carbohydrates, these tasty Buffalo Worms are great for snacking on throughout the day to help boost your protein intake.

@ajstar I like your article, thanks for sharing. Have you tried them yourself? They used to sell such burgers in the supermarket next to my house. I tried them and thought they were pretty nice. For me they had a nutty taste. Quite similar to the nutty flavour profile found in certain cheeses.

For anyone feeling a bit freaked out by such burgers, you could ease into it by sampling some fine cheese. Cheeses like Stilton, Mimolette and Comte have tasty mites on them.

Ce sont des cirons
