When someone tries to convince you that boiled silkworm pupae taste just like lima beans, don't believe them -- they taste like boiled bugs. My coworker brought some into the office today for people to try. I had to quickly chase it down with a thin mint cookie.

Oh, Jean, everyone knows they're much better fried.

I cannot believe that you tried one! I have always avoided the canned food aisle in Korean grocery stores since I was a child just because of them.

Was this jason?

No, it was HK. You're missing out on the Clark building lock-down in preparation for anti-Clark protests today (inter-county connector stuff I think). Clark added "NO TRESPASSING" signs on all entry doors last night. I wish you were here to make the protestors cry. :)

Hahha....I'm sad that I'm missing it too! You should walk over to Safeway and get a bunch of flowers...and then hand them out to all of the protesters before walking up to the front door...pullout out your badge...and yelling

"Clark is god...and they will rule over each and every one of you minions!"

I think the worst part of it all is the poor timing of protesters who just don't take the time to do their due diligence. Hasn't this rainstorm been predicted for over a week now?!?!

Was it this dude?

I grant you coolness points for trying them at least.

OMG. That was so funny (his post about silkworm snacks). Thanks for the link!

And yay! I'm up to, um, 3 coolness points I think! Go me!

I'm still not trying a thousand year egg though.
