Anyone else out there eaten live mealworms?

I found them to be actually quite nice with a 'runny walnutty' kind of
flavour and texture.

The trick with them seems to be to gently bite the heads and pull the
innards out first. You spit them out and the rest is quite nice.

If you try this don't forget to clean their insides first by feeding
them on clean bran for a day or two the same way you prepare fresh
snails for eating!! Which is the topic for yet another thread!!

Not live, no.

Had a dish once in Darwin though with some of them sorta fried quickly and
crunchy. 'Wichity grubs' or something like that?

Not them no... they are huge fat things. Sort of creamy inside when
cooked... nice as well tho.

Mealworms are about an inch long... white bodies... brown heads.

I was at the Reptile Park outside Sydney and the keeper was handing
them out to see who'd be game to eat them!

I went back for seconds
