Mopane Worms

by Madelon




Until recently only Dad had tried Mopane Worms, now we all have!

Dad tried Mopane Worms when he was in the North for the first time. At the markets that are close to the bus station, while he was waiting to go. His didn’t have much flavouring; he said that they tasted like prawns with their shell on, and he wasn’t expecting the crunch!!
Uugghh!

Noah, Mum and I had them at the Greeffs (the other CMS missionary’s who live in the North). We bought them from the local markets. The Greeffs have a girl living with them, called Aune (pronounced Aawnee), who also had a couple. Ours had strong chilly flavouring, which we weren’t ready for. I don’t think we’ll be having them again any time soon!
