When I was in Peace Corps training in Cameroon, Africa, I was invited to a rather fancy dinner. One of the dishes was huge slugs, bigger than my thumb. If you could overlook what it was, they were tasty, about the consistency and flavor of scallops. Once I was at my post in the bush, the locals ate termites. I didn't mind eating them cooked, but I always turned down the offer of eating live ones right out of the termite mounds.
