Kinda hard to do either in the stone age though.
Barbecued then.
Ever ate pecans? You may well have chowed a few grubs.
Guy came in our forestry class to lecture on pecan orchards, big business in OK. He handed a bag of shelled nuts for us to inspect. It had a couple of grubs in there and you could barely pick them out from the nuts. Also, they eat pecans, they taste like pecans.
Maggot muncher is definitely a slur early sapians used against neanderthals
They were probably sharing grub recipes fam
maggot muncher (complimentary)
GrubHub
Probably both lol
In other news, sales of the caveman fad diet books have cratered.
What do you mean, RFK just ordered them for every school in the country, the worm in his head told him to do so

Anyone who eats guava straight from the tree probably ate far more maggots through their life than any H. neanderthalensis did. Including myself.
...damn, I miss that guava tree.
Aren't there like little harmless worms in strawberries? I definitely have eaten like thousands of those worms.
Yup! The ones in guava are bigger though, far more visible, and people always joke the worst part isn't finding a worm there, but half a worm. (Just a wee bit of protein~)
If you find half a worm, you just spit it out, cut/bite out the wormy part and continue. Can't throw the whole fruit. Although the worms I remember in guava make hard shells around them as they eat, so most times you bite into it, know immediately, and throw that part.
You can't spit it out after you already swallowed it! And the ones I'm used to don't make any sort of hard shell, they simply wiggle their way into the fruit.
Not that it's a big deal - if they caused any harm, I'd be dead already.
If you swallowed then yeah, extra protein.
I mean, there's a reason why we like pasta. The protein, the looks, the taste... It's basically fake maggots
Sure, all that protein and maggot taste in pasta.
Btw I'm sorry about... Whatever the fuck kind of childhood abuse that lead to that sentence.
Wooosh xD
I thought it was pasta and marinara. Now I see I'm evolutionary wired for pasta and marinara.
That's why they look so yummy 😋
