Yum. The future sounds so denutrionalized.

I say we cut down all the rain forests so that the ship worms have lots of food so that We The Peasants can eat nothing but worms. It may sound totally Utopian, but we can do it!!!!!

[right way right]

That title is quite the tongue twister.
Say it fast 4 times.

Ship worms are why wooden ships needed copper cladding.

If you are afraid of eating the worms, a tinfoil hat might help.

“Got Worms?”

[Chicory]

They should definitely change the name; even vers de navire sounds better— at least in English. (It’s a very literal translation!)

[boycott]

What’s keeping elitist liberal democrats from eating worms and insects now? In no way should they be eating any meats. They have the money and resources so they should set a good example. Stop being hypocrites and step up. Same for AOC and all the other democrats in congress.

Scientifically known as teredinids, shipworms are actually a type of bivalve mollusk. This means they're related to clams, mussels and oysters. Because they spend their lives protected inside the wood that they eat, however, they only have a tiny shell at their front end, where it aids in the wood-boring process. In the Philippines, shipworms are already wild-harvested and sold as a delicacy. They're said to taste like oysters.

Well...there was very little danger of me eating these and even less after seeing that.

And apparently the author needs to taste so he can speak for himself and not just speculate...

[Sooth2222]

Yummy!

[exDemMom]

The name “shipworm” is misleading.

Since they are actually mollusks, I don’t see any issue with eating them.

I already eat clams and snails. Why not try another mollusk?

[HKMk23]

I will voluntarily starve to death before I consent to eat that shit.

[2nd Amendment]

Ah ship worms with insects as an appetizer

[clearcarbon]

"Wood-eating shipworms may soon be farmed for shipworm-eating humans"

I predict one of the hottest topics in some future school cafeteria will have something to do with the grey mystery meat.

[trebb]

MMMMMmmmmm! Steamed Cherry-Stone teredinids with melted butter....

[bk1000]

We’ll have to eat the left. They wanted this. I’m not eating worms.

[Vaduz]

Maggots and buzzards hold huge protest.

[PrairieLady2]

I don’t like oysters. I used to love clams and scallops, but I no longer eat shell fish.
The worms may be a dèlicious delicacy to some, but they sound nasty to me. Oysters...eww.
