Good To Eat?

Well, that always comes back top how you were raised, doesn't it? I remember people tripe and onions from my childhood, and you can still find a few people around who will still have it.  I used to like chicken livers wrapped in bacon. 

But I think I would have a hard time with maggots.  Anthropologist John Hawks links to recent papers Neanderthal fondness for maggots, because rotting meat attracted nutritious insects, which in turn left larvae.   Bizarre foods: Neanderthal edition. One of the papers verifies the information by tracking what indigenous tribes eat world wide now.  Sort of proof-of-concept for maggot-eating. 

 “Indigenous peoples almost universally viewed thoroughly putrefied, maggot-infested animal foods as highly desirable fare, not starvation rations.”—Melanie Beasley, Julie Lesnik, and John Speth

Sounds great, but You First.  No, come to think of it, even that wouldn't be persuasive to me. I can't even stand to be near egg salad.
