So I’m on a short holiday in the Niger-Delta region of
Nigeria and so far, I have had a great time especially with various delicacies I
have had to sample here.
I was greeted with Ukodo (yam and pepper soup) when I got in
and just yesterday, on my way to a popular beach resort, I came across some
kids selling an old and rare favorite of mine… Edible Worms.
I must have spent a fortune buying this highly nutritional
delicacy. I bought roasted, boiled and live ones (for later). I sure had a
blast with my worms last night as I made a worm burger with lettuce, tomatoes
and a boiled egg.
Edible worms are rich in calcium and I am quite sure you
would fall in love with it should you find the courage to try it out. The taste
is simply fantastic!
Anytime you find yourself in the Niger Delta region of
Nigeria, do remember to try some out. You will be glad you did.
