Even some Congolese ask: "You ate what?"


I don't really know how to spell it.. but I will call it Posse - Poss like Hoss, then A. Poss-A.
They live off of Pine Tree nuts so they taste..nutty! (no you don't eat them alive!)

They tasted good with some Pondu and Pili-Pili (hot salsa) isn't it just yummy!

I'm sorry, but no. They do NOT look yummy.

Yeah..Suzy's mom brought them to South Africa from the DRC (Congo) ... I couldn't eat the heads though. Not even once. Had to cut them off..seeing the eyes and everything.

But come ON guys! You think I was raised to find it appealing either? But that was the whole point! To challenge yourself!

And it was a challenge..but I am so glad I tried them!

Hey ! Those are my favorite snacks!!!! Funny how everyone keeps relating this to fear factor even tho THEY ARE NOT ALIVE or GROSS. Yet its normal to eat snails (or escargots) or fish eggs (cavillars) ... Interesting how perception plays tricks on us. Stephen you're awesome for being so open to trying things--- what shall we try next and in which country?? ... And yes I do understand that most ppl were raised to find certain things gross but the important thing is to give it a chance.. thats what multicultural means .. I guess. lol and yess I can try anything as long as its not unhealthy!!
