      Thank you but you probably need a cleaning from all those strange meat. Lord have mercy on you. You may want to put 'Dewitts worm medicine' on you to get list. Hope you don't do that again. Lol. You are daring. I am most vegan some 30 years now. I should send you a vegan recipe ..."It's white rice, with navy beans, white onions, with a little white salt. Everything steamed soft or aldente not incorporating any other color in the pot.

    At 12:40: actually, they are grubs. They will become beetles if allowed to finish this stage of their life cycle. I am familiar with them from way back (40+ years, LOL) but never ate them. There is also a smaller version that is found in fallen /old cookreet seeds that we used as bait for fishing. Also, I remember a similar cane juicer that my dad had in the front yard "camp" open-air thatched "building". Planted half an acre of sugar cane just for home use. LOL. Long time ago.

    The nutritional content of the jungle based cuisine is ridiculously high compared to “normal” crop based cuisines. Their food has zero microplastics (found in all Western diets) and receives nutrients directly from natural soil (instead of synthetic fertilizer).
    That entire region should be turned into a nature preserve because humanity will need it for the biodiversity in the future.

    Good morning David. Thank God you work out and keep in shape. That was quite a workout squeezing the cane. Now as far as the food is concerned, when we can't stomach something we say "oh gaad, not me," to you eating the worms. My Trini friends will know that expression. I had to skip over that part of the video but you know what was funny, UA-cam froze with the picture of the guide with the worm in his mouth 🤣🤣🤣. As for the drinks, they are as natural as they come and if you wanted to raise the alcohol level, just grate a regular potato and put the juice in it. My brother used to do that with rum punch. We had Tasso in Trinidad, it's similar to North American beef jerky, the farine too we used to make porridge, and the dessert is similar to cassava pone. So you see you can see the influence of food in the region that you can find things that are similar but different. Now think hard about what I mean and figure it out. So David, I am happy to see that things went well so far, but I am NOT eating those worms. I love the earrings you bought for your daughters but I thought you were going to buy the vase because that was pretty. What happened yesterday? We were all looking for the 'live'. We missed you and the gang. Yesterday was Ingrid Bee's birthday as well. Anyway, we all know how busy you are these days. Once again, congratulations on your success. Like you and I say, "onwards and upwards". You and your team deserve all the kudos. Stay well, stay safe and may God bless you and your family.🕊️🙏🇹🇹🇨🇦
