Okay, now I've really got to stop eating weird shit

In la joya de las sachas, right in the midst of the Amazon, there are a lot of things to be concerned with. Poisonous snakes, deadly spiders, monkeys that steal things from you, rivers that are heavily contaminated from petroleum development, still water loaded with malaria and dengue, and the list goes on.

When you're up against that much, what's a little skewer of giant maggots for lunch? These critters breed inside the bark of a type of palm tree. You search into the trees, find the maggots, bathe them in a pool of water and soap, skewer them alive, and set them on the BBQ. When they start to cook the heat makes them explode from within. Best stand back, because there is nothing worse than boiling maggot guts exploding in your face. After about ten minutes they're reay to go. Just add salt to taste.
