Medusa's Cousin


Yes, it was the mythical one I was thinking of... not the sea-dwelling version.  But we're talking worms... not snakes.  And dried worms at that... and...

...you probably won't turn to stone if you look me in the eyes... although I have been known to stop a few people in their tracks!  haha...

These worms, known as insonem in the Ayau-Asia Archipelago in the north of Raja Ampat, are actually a traditional food... you can read more about that tasty meal in this previous post.







My cousin Caroline came to this area on her visit, and got to try them, as well!  Caro's experience.
