Title: There was a maggot on my plate

Just one? I take it that you didn't eat it :)

A fly came in the house yesterday, and I was just thinking that I could raise a few maggots to see what they taste like. Just for survival food, if you know what I mean.

If you find a maggot close your eyes and try it. :)

Maggots taste wonderful and are an important source for proteins.

LUCKY!

I'm building a black soldier fly composter just to attract the flies to grow me some!

I'm still trying to figure out some way of making them more eye and perception friendly. Any good recipes folks?

My mom is trying to dry some fresh thyroid glands (of course, that's my idea) in the sun. End of the day , she sees lots of flies and entire white thyroid becomes black. I think that's too nutritious now.

How disappointing you couldn’t eat the maggot infested meat, because you really wanted to try?    I similarly discarded my rotten Cod, simply because it had flies eggs on it, and did not even wait for maggots to develop, so very much regret not trying it.   Encouragement, from Cherimoya and Warrior, so making garage a fly friendly area, relocating all spiders and removing cobwebs, and hoping flies will be attracted to meat and fish hanging inside.   Been cool and wet lately, so not many around.   If all else fails, maggots are available in our local fishing tackle shop, so could introduce those to my rotten fish, meat and poultry.   I believe once they are rotted to suit the maggots, they will be good enough and ready to eat!   After all, we really want to join that exclusive band of raw Paleo diners who tackle and regularly enjoy this unusual treat, don’t we?
