Mophane Worms

This post is really for my Strang Crew… you know how you all were talking about me eating worms when I got to Botswana. Well I ate a worm, a Mophane worm to be exact. It looks a little like a caterpillar, but tastes like seaweed. We had a lesson on nutrition and apparently mophane worms are considered a delicacy by the Batswana living in the northern part of the country. I figured why not? If Batswana can eat the worms, so can I. And I was right. They taste pretty good. Nothing much to them, but I don’t know how often I will be able to get mophane, because they are only in season around I believe spring time here. The one I ate was dried, but apparently they can be eaten many different ways. I will let you know how each type tastes when I get the chance to try them. Tasha, thank you for peaking my interest in the first place. Hope all is well at Strang, I can’t say I miss working there, but I certainly miss you guys. Thanks for all your help in getting me where I am today. Good luck. Ohh and Susan, I hope you and Woodley are putting together a box of books to send me because I need to catch up on my reading!
PS I get the God channel here, and I get to watch half our authors on television every Sunday morning. It’s funny to see them on TV here considering I never watched them in the States. My family loves to watch John Hagee and Benny Hinn.
