Used to flavour stews or eaten on their own, stinkbugs are said to have a crunch to them and taste a little like apple. Prepared by boiling, the bugs release defensive pheromones in a last ditch attempt to survive, and while it hurts the eyes it's no more successful than the onion's weak survival attempt.

A big fat, juicy worm that's said to be full of meat. Although traditionally dried or smoked to preserve, they are usually re-hydrated and cooked with tomato or chilli sauce to flavour. According to an American couple who tried the dish on the Food Network, it tastes like honey barbequed chicken. One to give a go, I'd say.

Not actually found in tequila but rather it's cheaper cousin, mescal, it's said that the legendary hallucinogenic properties of the worm are pretty much non-existent. All a marketing gimmick, you fools.
