So while I was trying to mind my business, I stumbled on this. I hear it is the most delicious bug in Nigeria.
It is also a major delicacy for those that live in the Eastern part of Nigeria and South South as well.
Its the Palm Weevil Larvae and Pupae (Rhynochophorus Ferrugineus)
They are either eaten raw, fried or roasted. Its high protein content makes it very nutritious.
The palm weevil is a priced delicacy in southern part of Nigeria. Very common in warri and sapele. Some call it 'DUN'.
Ever tried this grub, please share your experience. I'd love to read them.
Live, Love and Learn.
