Silkworm, anyone?

bbundaegi - silkworm

Inspired by Anna Banana’s post… I was reminded that I have a photo of this snack in one of my computer’s folders. Frankly, I admire Anna Banana for having the guts to try it… the smell alone of this “exotic” food makes my stomach turn.

Anyway, the image was taken during the “Hi Seoul Festival.”

^^ YUP!!! two thumbs up for altair, gotta try the stuff to know. I didn’t know what it was when I first tried it. I thought it was some kind of a plant part. I tried it, but the feel of the stuff while I was munching on it made me think of a cockroach (ewwwww!!!) so I asked just to find out twas a pupa of a silkworm but twas too late I already swallowed the stuff (lol!)It took years before I finally “gave in” into eating “bon-de-gi”, now am a-ok about it.
