It’s actually a matter of efficiency. When you produce silk, you also produce a lot of dead silkworms. You can either eat the silkworms directly, or you can compost them. Which works better?

Although, frankly, I’m quite disappointed with the taste of silkworms. After more than 5 thousand years of refinement, you’d imagine they’d figure out how to get them to taste decent.

mmmm……bugs. The only way I’ll ever eat a bug is if it’s small, deep fried, and goes well with beer. I do wonder what do they do with the octopus’s body after they serve the legs…..hmmmm

As an Asian, I have had my share of unusual eats, but going to various Asian countries has opened my eyes to some othe eyebrow-raising tidbits, like grilled lizards on a stick in Singapore or squilla in the Hong Kong outdoor eating areas. Korea had me walking by a boiling kettle of what looked a lot like the silkworm pupas. Perhaps, a bit revolting to my palate; however, have you considered the life expectancy of Asians who live on these diets, especially before the Western diet was introduced there?

I too have sampled the delights of silk worm larvae (or Bon-de-gi in korean) and it is one of the most disgusting things I have eaten.
I tried to bring the very same kind of tin home for my friends to try, only for NZ customs to confiscate it. I also tried the dog soup which I found very rich but quite tasty, but not as good as King Cobra in Vietnam, which was a cross between eel and ham.

It would be severely remiss of me not to pimp my placenta casserole recipe at this juncture.
