I remember having to search for worms in cauliflower and broccoli you got at the grocer back in the day. That was just how produce was. That might have changed about in the 90s.

That’s nothing. RFK, Jr. found worms in his brain.

It’s France, it was probably a delicacy…

But portions vary widely by culture, and considering these are literally Olympic athletes, it’s weird ant would expect all their food to be catered. Like, Phelps ate 11k.calories a day or something nuts.

You’re confusing France with Italy

France does have Mimolette, which is delicious, if a bit strange. Italy is definitely taking the worm cake, though. No freaking thank you.

I’d never heard of that. Ah, something new I’ll never eat willingly. Hurp.

My dad told a story about how they were honeymooning in Paris (this was back in the 60s) and they were at a cafe and they saw this interesting-looking cheese with black dots on it. And then they noticed the dots were moving. And then a waiter came by and waved a cloth on the cheese and they all flew away.

They did not order the cheese.

Not arguing against your point, but I doubt Phelps is consuming that many calories during competition.

That’s the diet of someone training for a competition. Practices will taper down the closer you are to the event. I’d bet he’d still have a crazy appetite, but there’s no way he’s doing the crazy yardage/workouts that require that many calories the week of competition.

I remember footage of him on TV shoveling in huge plates of spaghetti in the ready room at the venue he was competing at that day.
