I just ate a worm...

  I just ate a worm. There are these worms called mopane that are cooked with meals or as snacks here in Botswana. I tried one that was dried out and salted. A couple other Bots10 trainees and I decided to try them tonight. We went out back behind the lodge because we didn't want to make a scene if we freaked out. I ended up saying "oh god" as I took the first bite and it made a crunch sound. This resulted in some intense laughter and some gagging. We successfully tried the worms though! I was laughing so hard that I was crying.
