    liquid smoke

    One thing that helps with "That Smokey Flavor", although it is a bit off topic: I use Course Kosher salt and smoke it. It travels better than liquids do and if you smoke it long enough, you can add alot of flavor to whatever you're cooking. Rob

    Eating Maggots

    As I recall, they can also be roasted, if you have the means. The problem is that the carbs and sugars as well as the fats are gone after that. Protein remaining, I think I will dig around and fry some lovely earthworms instead. They taste a good bit like bacon to me. *S* Rob the Blacksmith
