Have you ever eaten fried silkworm larvae? Yeah, me neither, but if you want to try, here's a really simple recipe for Fried Giant Silkworm Pupae:Fry the larvae in hot oil. No salt or spices are necessary as the larvae taste fine on their own.
Just be careful. 118 people in Thailand reported illness from sucking some of these puppies down and subsequently "suffered facial swelling, vomiting, blurred vision, numbness around the mouth, exhaustion and skin rash, said the Public Health Ministry's epidemiologist, Anek Mong-oomklang."
And check this out! - they histamine-infused larvae were imported from China! Oh my!

Just tried these in Peng Lai, China. Not on a skewer as in your photo, just fried. They were pretty good, really. Seems common also in Guangdong province. Yum! (sort of)
