Having a random conversation and wondered.....

[appleblossom]

I was juat talking to ChriX on msn and he asked what I thought blood worms taste like, so I was just wondering has anyone ever tasted one out of curiosity or are you willing to, just to tell us what theyre like

 

[wuvmybetta]

I'm only guessing, but I bet they taste...bloody

 

[smithrc]

they smell bad - so i guess they taste bad....

 

[JobySp]

I doubt they taste of anything

 

[Sorrell]

I am so allergic to them that when I feed bloodworms I have to wear gloves and a mask and I drop them in with tweezers...so count me out on this one!

 

[appleblossom]

Really??? what is in them that youre allergic to??

 

[MAM]

ewwwwwwwwwwwwww they smell bad enough, don't even want to think about what they taste like but my fish go crazy so i guess they find them pretty darn tasty. i'll just take their word on it though.........
but if you or chrix decide you really must find out, do let us know

 

[White Whale]

they smell bad - so i guess they taste bad....

Not so with Durian fruit. They smell bad but taste good.

Bloodworms taste like chicken.

 

[Sorrell]

I'm not sure, I'm allergic to brine shrimp too and have to go through the same precautions- I look like I'm going into surgery! When I was in high school I went into anaphalactic (sp) shock after feeding frozen bloodworms, freezedried ones don't get me as bad, so i stick to that and just pop a bendadryl right before I feed. LOL i like my fish too much

 

[appleblossom]

Itty Bitty Betta, is that a definite answer or an educated guess???

and Sorrell, are you allergic to a lot of stuff or is someone just trying to give u a hint not to keep fish??

 

[ChriX]

Hmm seems like nobody is willing to try it.... :stupid:

 

[RYO]

mmm tastes like oily chicken, honest

 

[Sorrell]

What doesn't kill me makes my fish stronger.
I'm allergic to mustard, mintplant, and shellfish. I'm guessing the shellfish is what does it with brine shirmp, but I can feed krill with no problem so who knows. I just take precautions and everybody's happy. I do have to admit though that on certain nights I've told my husband, "I'm feeding bloodworms and then going to bed so come check on me in like 20 minutes"
