Never go hungry in the jungle


These massive maggot looking creepy-crawly things live in the jungle. We were spared from eating them raw, the way the locals do, and tried them grilled. It's impossible to go hungry in the jungle. There's always something to eat. Just go to a tree and pull out some frogs, dig a hole for lizards, search the river for snails or hunt deer, armadillo, rabbit. Dean was invited to eat monkey, an offer he graciously accepted. For vegetarian options, hand pick wild mushrooms, pineapples, fruits and other plants.
