Today, I tasted a perfectly salted, crispy, and dead carpenter ant hidden in my bag of pistachios. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was eating a bag of almonds I got from the bulk food store, picking off what I thought was stringy remnants of their shells. When I finally got down to the bottom of the bag, I found a silk worm circling around the last almond left of a bag of about 200. FML
Today, I bought a 3 lb bag of pears. The first two bites were delicious! The third bite revealed a worm and its thousands of eggs. FML
Today, I went to the ice cream shop after dinner. I am deathly allergic to nuts so I picked the vanilla. I take one bite and feel something crunchy, and see what I thought was an almond in the cup. I spit out the icecream in a panic. Good news? It wasn't an almond. Bad news? It was a cockroach. FML
Today, I found ants all over my chocolate, but I'm so addicted that I just wiped them off and ate it anyway. FML
Today, feeling too lazy to cook dinner, I bought a bagged salad from a low-end store. I dumped the contents into a bowl; the first thing that fell out was a dead mouse. Bon appetit. FML
Today, I was eating a packet of chips while watching TV. I saw a crumb on the table in front of me, so without thinking I picked it up and ate it. It wasn't a crumb. It was a tick. FML
Today, instead of reaching for some unhealthy food, I tried to eat some dates instead. It was all fine until I bit one in half and saw a rather large, squirming maggot inside. FML
Today, I bit into a cereal bar and thought the inside was oddly damp. I took a look at it and saw a maggot worm wriggling around. Its friend was in my mouth. FML
Today, I found a horde of ants in one of my socks when I put it on my foot. FML
Today, I grabbed a handful of crackers from the kitchen, only to find it crawling with bugs. Apparently, my brother had made the same discovery earlier, but put the box of crackers back in the cupboard anyway. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Good thing you thoroughly identified it before eating it.

That happens to my family so much!!! my dad ate worms in broccolis 'til I saw them, he once ate a worm in a carrot and then discovered its family lived here and we discovered about a dozen of ants in a bag of nuts. And my discovered some worms in her salad before eating it

I feel for you OP. I was recently a reluctant anteater as well. Sounds like you were wiser than me and looked before you ate. I discovered ants have a very unique....surprisingly strong taste.

A carpenter ant is not even half as big as a pistachio. How the hell did you pull that off?

Hey, as long as it's well seasoned, right?

Insects are a good source of protein for humans in many parts of the world- suck it up, you'll be fine.
