Worms,grubs,slugs, ans snails are fair game
Everyone ought to love this offering at the State Fair! http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/home2/52582745-183/wright-fair-eating-extreme.h... Deloy Pierce
It's a bit of a stretch to call these maggots -- I recognized them immediately as meal worms. I think of maggots as the offspring of flies, while these grubs are from beetles. ________________________________ From: D P Pierce <starsbirdsglyphs@gmail.com> To: utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2011 2:08 PM Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Worms,grubs,slugs, ans snails are fair game Everyone ought to love this offering at the State Fair! http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/home2/52582745-183/wright-fair-eating-extreme.h...

So are you implying that they are deliberately going for shock value by claiming them as "maggots", or do you think it ignorance on their part? Either way, I haven't descended quite far enough to go for insect protien, as noble as that may be. Kelly and I were at the fair Wednesday night. We wanted the alligator-on-a-stick, until we saw the price. No thanks, I wouldn't pay that price for bacon-wrapped Fillet Mignon if it was only two or three small bites.
Yes but when you take those two or three small bites of the steak, at least you know that when it was alive it would never bite you. Not so for the alligator on a stick! ________________________________ From: Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> To: Utah Astronomy <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2011 9:17 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Worms,grubs,slugs, ans snails are fair game On 9/15/11, Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> wrote:

Shock value is exactly what sells that stuff. One of my favorites is taking friends who've never eaten Dim Sum before, and when the waiter offers Chicken Feet, I'm the first one to order. Part of the appeal to the person eating it is the fact that the other people won't. On Fri, Sep 16, 2011 at 12:34 AM, Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com>wrote:

You want shock valley? I cared for a very sick individual that the reason for his illness was not clear. One morning a maggot crawled out of his nose. Mystery solved.

On the house? No. The infestation was aquired outside of hospital, it was a maggot abscess. CT Scanners not available then, back in the day when surgery was sometimes "explorative". Amazing some people want to go back to that type of medicine. "The good old days."
Maggie is fine, but being the boss is hard. Her training of me continues. Didn't they do that one on House?
BTW Erik, How's Maggie?

Sorry Ann,
but with subject line of Worms, grubs, snails what did you expect? This will teach me to not check my emails during lunch.
