Oh yeah, duh... how did they taste? I guess I forgot the most important part of the story on a diet discussion group.
Like absolutely nothing. Like a mealy flour - no flavor really. We did two versions of the cookies - one with flour and one with "worm flour" and asked our classmates to vote for which one they thought was the worm cookie. Only the teacher got it right. He said that was because the worm cookie had more moisture. But I didn't think the worm version had more moisture.

Did you eat the cookies yourself or did you generously offer them to
family and friends? :)
When I was about 10 I read a book for school called "The Boy Who Ate
Worms" or something. I think by the end he liked the taste of them.
Didn't convince me though...
It may have been based on a true story though...
