Bohol tourist spots sell ‘chichaworm’

What on earth is that?

We Pinoys love chicharon (pork crackling), but are we ready for spicy chichaworm?

Apparently, the delicacy has been making a killing at Bohol Python and Wildlife Park where it’s being sold to tourists. The deep-fried and protein-rich ‘superworms’ are cultured and said to be fed organic fruits and vegetables. 

We’ve got a gnawing feeling this is going to be a global hit.
