WORMS


OK, we all know I am a crazy vegetarian.. But today I ate some thing that I had always wanted to try (or at least wanted to try cause I've seen it on TV).
I ATE WORMS!!! I think they were silk worms, they were rather small.. fried.. not live.... It was DISGUSTING!!!! Please don't try this at home...
P.S - I don't really think worms are "animals" so no lectures please... besides, they die after making silk...

Hi Noa, it's your cousin Linda (Vic Reizman's daughter) in Rodeo, CA. I've been keeping in touch with your mom and she e-mailed me the link to your blog. When I was a kid living in Korea, and I'm sure they still eat them, roasted silkworms were a delicacy. I tried them once and gagged. They eat it like popcorn there. Your students are so cute and I'm sure they love you. You are providing them with such a great service and they obviously show their appreciation. One of my favorite foods is Vietnamese noodle soup and I'm craving some right now!
