caterpillar chili

[Agent Provocateur]

In the spirit of cooler weather, I decided to make chili. I browned the meat, dumped in the tomatoes, onions and peppers, and spices, and opened some cans of beans. I was rinsing the beans in the colander, because I heard that reduces their gaseous effects, when I noticed something a little off. There, nestled among my kidney beans, was a little caterpillar.

After debating whether to dump him in the chili for a dose of additional protein, I fished him out to get a better look.

Seeing as how I've never eaten a worm that wasn't pickled in alcohol, I decided to leave him out of the chili.

My question now: What should I do with the worm?

I'd send him back, postage due, to the company that canned the beans!

 

[darlak]

Do you happen to have a little worm-sized coffin?

 

[Mysteria]

Dump him in a bottle of tequilla and see who you can convince to eat it.

 

[Mickey&Donald]

Ummmmmm... did you actually use those beans??? Maybe it's safe, but I just couldn't stomach that, personally. I'd be taking the can and the caterpillar back to the store. Ugh.

 

[Agent Provocateur]

I'm kind of torn between dipping him in chocolate and burying him in my sandbox. It's a tough choice.

I did not use the beans. I didn't want to disturb the crime scene.

He's a cute lil fella! Buy a little leash and keep him as a pet.

I did consider that possibility, but no amount of CPR would bring the little guy back to life.

 

[jonestavern]

Do you have a turtle sandbox?

Are you Anthony Bourdain?

I know, I know, it's supposed to be Mescal, but so few people know that, the humor would be lost.

I know more about Mezcal than I care to discuss.


I wonder if I called Anthony Bourdain, if he would come to my house to eat my caterpillar chili.

Great. I only had one idea and that was it.

 

[darlak]

Is it a boy or a girl?

 

[Agent Provocateur]

It was a wonderful idea. You will make a great caterpillar parent one day.

 

[CDoobee]

Is it a boy or a girl?

YES! It is a boy or maybe a girl!!

 

[jonestavern]

YES! It is a boy or maybe a girl!!

[darlak]

YES! It is a boy or maybe a girl!!

The answer I was looking for was a simple 'yes', but your explanation was nice too.
