  • You should try them just deep fried and sprinkle a little salt on them. You can eat them just like that or with a dipping sauce made of fish sauce mixed with sugar and msg. Its really good.

  • OMGSH..this looks so DELICIOUS&& with the avocado?! I GOTTA TRY IT!!!

  • why dont u make any new videos?

  • I breed waxworms, usually for my leopard gecko. When I saw this though, I now have a meal once and a while to add into a sandwich or pasta. Tastes delicious!

  • My science teacher showed this in class today! His AP Biology class made wax worm tacos inspired by this video and he let our class taste some worms. Delicious.

  • @beatricefluttershy That is so awesome!!! :D

  • I had some with my eggs. These are perfect with any omelette, and would probably be pretty good on chocolate truffles.

  • @S0XF0X -- Agreed! Aren't they fabulous with eggs?! Next, try 'em with king oyster mushrooms - deLISH.

  • You NEED to do a collaboration video with Chef John from Food Wishes!!!

  • EW! I can't believe she ate cilantro.. hahaha.

  • Seeing the worms moving in the bowl, I wanted to vomit. When I saw her nice taccos and her smile while eating, I was dead hungry. I think I cant eat insects if they are hidden in some ways ^^

  • what about cheese and corn? it's not taco without it xD

  • Beautiful, just beautiful... I almost cried

  • Daniella has the best "mmm" face after she takes a bite of something. Super genuine and makes you believe that it's the best thing you've seen cooked in years.

  • I am really going to try this out as a way of saving some necessary money. I do believe insects are underestimated in their nutritional values and perhaps maybe for their looks.. I have always thought there is something very gross and disgusting about eating insects, but after frying them or boiling, so they don't move anymore, we can talk about eating them. I am very curious how they taste. Apparently well..

  • whover eates this is nuts

    

  • What do waxworms taste like??

  • @aliciacb8284747274 I've learned one thing throughout life: everything you don't know how it tastes, tastes like chicken.

  • @aliciacb8284747274

    she said it tasted like beacon

  • Just as a tip for you guys, I'd suggest cooking the waxworms with either olive oil(like she does in the video) or butter. I'd advise you NOT to use grapeseed oil! I tried that to cook waxworms a week ago and it gave them a weird taste/smell. Butter and olive oil worked perfectly fine for some reason.

    A little bit of butter + onions + waxworms = pure win! I can't wait to try this taco recipe at some point.

  • maake more videoss !

  • Good for you. You have no fear. I'm the complete opposite than you. I would rather have a slow and painful death than be forced to eat bugs! No matter what they sauteed with!

  • I wouldn't try you're deep fried scorpion recipe, just because I'm not a very big fan of exoskeletons, but I'd cook this one in a heartbeat! Looks so good! People need to get over their fears and realize some bugs are absolutely to die for!

    And no, I don't mean they'll die.... but they might find themselves in heaven.

  • おいしいそうです。三番をまっています!

  • Comment removed

  • @UltimateBokanator Oops, then you probably shouldn't read this FDA document detailing the amount of insect matter permitted in processed foods. You definitely shouldn't scroll down to see that 60 or more insect fragments per 100 grams of chocolate is considered "average"... and them's factory bugs! Mine, at least, are generally organic. :) fda.gov/food/guidancecomplianc­eregulatoryinformation/guidanc­edocuments/sanitation/ucm05617­4.htm

  • @UltimateBokanator

    Well now, aren't you just a picky little shit?

  • YOU ARE SICK.

    

  • nasty bitch

  • is it just me or is this disgusting? lol, im chinese and i know the chinese eat bugs and stuff in different parts of china but it really just disturbs me

  • i wouldnt eat them but ill watch you eat anything ^_^

  • thumbs up if you watched at her boobs at 1:46

  • Why don't you make more? This has so much potential! I got inspired and have tried this one and crickets fried with a caramel marinade. Going to Thailand this summer for some more ideas :)

  • @Wrbna -- awesome!!!

  • you'd be hot if you weren't so gross :)

  • Respect to you GirlMeetsBug!

    Finally a girl/woman who is not judging the tasteness of food by its look or where it came from! :)

    I hope you will post more vids soon,

    Have fun and Bon appetit! :P

  • So when does the "Cricket Episode" happen?

  • I'm not usually squeamish, but dang! You're much braver than I am.

  • Haha You are awesome!!! I was just wondering- did you feel grossed out the first time you ate one though?

  • The local Mexican food place has worms in there tacos too but there are free.

  • There IS a logical reason - it's grossssssssssssssss!

  • wth! this scared me :(

  • one of these days, this woman will sit down on the toilet and pull out a 3 foot tape worm from her rear end. If it hasn't happened yet, it will. Give it time. I've farmed all my life and even when fowl like chickens and turkeys eat crickets, they tend to get sick and die. Crickets carry all sorts of parasites that are also found on grasshoppers and cockroaches. Seeing you gnaw into those worms made me gag. Your parents should have given you more attention when you were young.

  • @jamesterry1977 -- you raise a good point: I never recommend eating insects raw, only cooked. This takes care of the potential of parasites, just as it does with the rest of the meat we eat. I would certainly not advise doing something unless I'd carefully studied it. My degree is in Medical Anthropology, with a focus on ethno-nutrition; I've been studying this subject for over ten years. Ha, tell your chickens that crickets taste better sauteed, anyway. :)

  • @GirlMeetsBug well, I guess I was a little harsh on you. Sorry about that... I regretted that post as soon as I made it. I guess it's just startling to see a VERY attractive girl munching on stuff that would make a buzzard gag. Well, thanks for being a pioneer, I guess. And, just ignore my rude comment... it was made out of a sense of shock, to be honest. I guess we, as Americans, eat stuff that would curl the stomachs of people in other countries. Who knows, maybe it will grow on me!

  • That's a big chunk of avocado. In all honesty, if this was put in front of me, I'd eat it no problem.

  • 1:58 is the best part of this video.

  • @andycheng91 perv

  • where can you purchase these? are these the same as the "superworms" they sell at petco?

  • your fucked up women. who the hell is eating this shit women??????

  • @Penchek76 -- 80% of the world's cultures eat bugs -- that's who! :) We Westerners are actually in the minority on this one. Crazy, huh?

  • @Penchek76

    Why is she fucked up? Cuz you never ate such types of food!

    I'm from the Netherlands, we probably eat way different then you do..

    but that doesn't give me right to call you a fucked up guy because

    you do not eat the same as we do in the Netherlands!

    I hate people who post annoying immature reactions on vids they do

    not like. If you don't like watching this, then please just don't put on

    crappy useless posts that make no sence!

  • what about the chitinous shell? Do swallow or spit that out?

  • More videos please, more recipes!!!

  • That looks good, where do you get wax worms?

  • @JayTsunDayVis -- The San Diego Waxworm company. Tell 'em I sent you!

  • Where do you buy waxworms, and how do you store them for eating later?

  • @TheLonelyImmortal -- see above. Once you get them, freeze them, just like shrimp!

  • btw did you ever get like a parasite from this? or any at all (not on video)?

  • @runescapenbp47 -- absolutely not. In fact, even after meals where I ate 10 different kinds of insects, I experienced zero gastrointestinal problems. I think the human body, like those of our primate ancestors, was made to eat bugs!

    However, I strongly advocate cooking insects vs consuming them raw like they do on Fear Factor, etc. Just as with any other form of meat, especially if you don't know where it's from or how it was raised, parasites can be a possibility -- cooking is best!

  • omg lol -barfs-

  • I need to try it...!!!

  • post more vids!!!

  • pleaseee! post more videos!

    show us your new wax worm recipe !!!

  • This is what the world needs more of. Humane bug eating women. Amazing video!

  • OH YEA wax worms YEA!

  • Grooooose

    

  • Great video. I'll have to show it to my summer campers. We dry roast crickets and dip them in chocolate before eating them. The kids think it is great. I promoted you video on my site. twincitiesnaturalist. com Keep up the insect eating!

  • @twincitiesnaturalist -- Thanks! You have GOT to try my new waxworm recipe, it's even better than dry-roasted crickets. It's the same process, you dry-roast the waxworms just like the crickets, then you toss them with a little sugar and salt (and maybe wasabi powder) and they are like crunchy, tasty party snacks. The kids will love 'em!

  • @GirlMeetsBug --- Where can I obtain this recipe? Or any others you've concocted?

  • you dirty!!

  • Real nice taco shot at 1:59 in.

  • great vid!!!!

  • bet 5 bucks she vomited a weeks of food at back stage afterwards

  • @darkapaul -- ha ha, actually, afterwards the cameraman/producer polished off the leftover waxworms. He said they were delicious!

  • uh..... wax worms...? Really? .......entertaining, but kinda nasty at the same time. XD

  • I been watching you tube for about three years....wow this is very entertaining.

  • Where do you find "wax worms" and what do they taste like? Are you gonna make more vids or did getting sick got you out....LOL j/k

  • @potboy321 u can get them at any local bait shop i actually had gotten my first one when i was i elementry as a pet from my teacher:) i olost it and went to the bait shop but they wouldnt give u one only 50 or 100 i got the 50 and kept them in the refrigerater and played with them :D my mum threw them out and a week later found my old on in the sewer brother stepped on it and killed it D: :/

  • ieuwww.

  • sorry but you are fucked up..

    whose filming you

  • Had me at "sohm tomaytoez".

  • Wow, I think I'm in love

  • I wouldn't mind eating insects as long as they are processed and I didn't know I was eating insects lol

  • OMG Girl, you are awesome!!! Going to your site now :)

  • :D :D :D

  • how the hell can u eat that???? ur CRAZYYY

  • I could've sworn i heard those waxworms... :-( Screaming :-( ...before they went into that freezer

  • i vurped a little bit when Daniella took out a big ol'chunk outta that taco. I died a little lol.

  • i bet she's single

  • i bet she's single

  • can u eat a live bug?

  • Looks delicious. I'm guessing here, but you must cook a good deal of Asian food to be so used to using hashi so well. Do you know where I can get edible live grasshoppers? I haven't been able to find any.

  • @GaurdDuck -- ha ha, thanks! I grew up in Tokyo actually, so that feels great to hear. :) Re: the grasshoppers, I'm looking too -- I'll let you know as soon as I find out!

  • sexy girl with a strange taste for food?

  • YAY DANIELLA Keep it up!!!!

    Ciao from Italy

  • Very nice video! I've been looking for info on the subject and you do this amazing dish. Where do you get the grub?

  • what a dumb bitch

  • Interesting juxtaposition - pretty, charismatic girl, very articulate, with the nice music...eating bugs. You can't look away! I look forward to the next video!

  • Yay Daniella! It came out great! I bet this is going to be a big hit!

  • wtf? nasty a** b****

  • Why call an exterminator when you can eats the bugs off your floor! im sure freinds will be impressed!

  • @CoolConejo hahahahahahahaahahahahahaha! fuckin hilarious dude!

  • I really want to try this, but I've only caught 1 caterpillar in my backyard in 3 days of carefully searching around my backyard!

  • SK, check out my website for inexpensive, healthy sources of edible insects! Catching them in your backyard is great, unless you live in an urban area, and then I don't really recommend it (you never know what those critters have been eating!). Also, not all insects are edible, so please make sure to do your homework. But kudos to you for being willing to give it a try -- let me know how it goes!

  • @GirlMeetsBug Daniella have you ever eaten or swallowed a live bug by accident?

  • @Mercenary78

    Wellll, not exactly by accident... I've definitely done it on purpose. Then again, we all swallow bugs in our sleep and eat them in nearly any processed food, so I guess the answer would be yes!

  • @GirlMeetsBug so if you have found a live maggot or a live wax worm. you would swallow it.

    i couldn't

  • i welll

  • she should face of with Bear Grylls :p

  • Heck, yes! Sign me up!

  • @iStress10 In a Piss drinking competition?

  • I can't find waxworms. Can I substitute them with earth worms?

  • Hmm, I wouldn't. Wax worms are actually caterpillars, whereas earthworms are a whole different animal. To my knowledge, earthworms take quite a bit of processing (in order to get the earth out); although, some people like them quite a lot!

  • nasty bitch

  • Ha ha, tell yer friends!

  • i dare her to eat a bug individually

  • Isnt it cruel cooking those guys alive? Like lobster for example; its cruel frying these guys alive. :o

  • u are most likely one of those people that dont listen to what they say becouse she said that she freezes them to u might say put them slowly to sleep painlessly and then fries them so its like dying in your sleep completely painless so i dont get what u mean cooking them alive

  • You know, I've heard of this becoming a trend now. I'm not too sure if I could actually do it myself or not but I would definitely give it a go.

  • I totally contradicted myself there haha. I don't know if I could do it but I would give it a go? What I meant to say was I don't know if I would like it but I would give it a shot. There we go.... you may continue on with your lives now.

  • But the important thing is, you are considering it, right? What if I roasted crickets, ground them into flour, and used this (nutty-tasting) flour to bake muffins? Would you take a bite?

  • Did I just get asked out on a date? I love the internet. Ha I'm kidding, but ya I would totally give it a shot. Only from a trusted chef such as yourself though.

  • Do you ever eat any of these things still alive?

  • mmm... +5

  • omfg!!!! i was sick 15 times after watching this holy shit your a garden eater

  • Ha ha, 15 times, really? :-)

  • yes and i felt dizzy i was about to have a fit

  • you must have a really weak stomach if you get sick that easily :) i actually liked the idea its just u know its bugs :)

  • so what... dont tell me your another garden eater!!!! :P and who on planet earth would have a maggot butty

  • awesome vid,, so many people are afraid of worms, locusts, etc.. they are really good eats..

  • Thanks, hydynryk! Bugs are the food of the future!

  • thanks will try them! : P

  • were would you get the wax worm?

  • I got these from San Diego Wax Worms. Check out my website for more info!

    Eat Bugs, Save The World :-)

  • She's totally gone!

    I go fishing with those worms!!! And she eats them like crisps!! I'm sorry for you refined palate, but this is perversion!!... She's gone!.... Imagine your wives cooking worms when you come back home! XD! Horror movie!

  • omg thats so disgusting

  • Very nicely done, Daniella. Congratulations!

  • Daniella,

    What a GREAT video! Of course, you could make ANYTHING look appetizing!

    Elaina and Yudi Hershowitz

  • if i don't try it, then at the very least ill watch you do it ;)

    i must admit i am tempted to(looks fairly appetizing) and support your cause.

    good luck!

  • awesome video! make more!

  • Thanks! We're working on it!
