Larvets- BBQ

Best flavor. Taste so good.

I'm on a Christmas-accoutrements-before-Thanksgiving protest. When the minions of Santa (and I won't mention the anagram I'm thinking of) began forcing decorations on unwitting co-workers well before the Thanksgiving holiday, a colleague suggested that replacing the peppermints in the Santa-themed candy dish with worms might be good for a bit of subversive fun.And it was! In addition, the BBQ larvets have a pervasive and lingering olfactory signature that can only be described as...bait! In fact, the smell was so strong, said colleague had to carry the cellophane container far, far away and plant it in some unsuspecting person's garbage can.I can't speak as to taste...yet. I'm reserving that in case I have to act as shill to entice the minions to try one.The only dissapointment was the size of the package (and really, isn't that always a risk with online encounters?). The box is about the size of a half deck of cards. The poor little larvae only covered the bottom of the rather small candy dish. For the price, I'd have expected at least twice the smelly goodness.But for effect, I'd give it five stars. Gross, stinky and thoroughly suited to discouraging inappropriate and unwelcome manifestations of Christmas displays. Take that, evil minions of Santa!

No bbq taste

A lot like BBQ flavoured puffed rice. In the wake of the toxic U.S. food supply, several of my coworkers and I have been trying out alternative food sources from outside of the corporate-industrial-agribusiness complex. Insects provide lean calories packed with protein. While these particular critters are more of a snack than a meal, they have that satisfying crunch that many of us turn to potato/corn chips for, while at the same time are light and airy. A viable, healthier, alternative to conventional munchies! However, don't expect to get that "full" feeling. If you can get past the "thought" of eating insects these are very good.

Absolutely tiny for $7, but it's mostly about the fun of trying them (and watching the kids' reactions) not the amount you get.No meat to them. Very light. Pretty much an empty shell.They must have cooked the heck out of them.On the plus side, that makes them very much less gross.Certainly not going to be soaking up a ton of tequila with these.Oh, and the BBQ taste is not at all spicy, and in fact is almost absent, which is kind of good because it's not masking the natural flavor of these... which is also almost absent.

um i guess its fine. it is what it is. gross larvets. good for gag or kid dare

So I bought these to thinking it might get me over the initial ick factor in eating bugs. BBQ flavor should help with that I had hoped. When I finally broke down and tried a bite I couldn't taste the BBQ flavor at all and the larva tasted like something burnt. The up side is that they were pretty much hollow.

They were okay. Not much flavor and I just wished that they had been more crispy and less leathery. But they tasted just fine.
