Okay, if you’re not into 16th century topical religious references, let’s just move right along to the contents of this newsphoto. You’re seeing mopani worms, served at a restaurant in South Africa. Our story says they’re an acquired taste. Ya think?

Yuck! Undercooked corn!
- Posted by John C AbellI had some mopani worms. saw them at the buffet, dried in a bowl. I ate five and they tasted like raw peanuts. I went back to my table bragging that I ate some and they told me those were the ones that hadn’t been cooked.
- Posted by mikeI returned to the buffet and ate some more cooked worms. they were bitter. a little lemon butter would have helped. I liked the raw ones better.
