Earthworm Salad - New Russian Delicacy


A new dish with earthworms as the main ingredient appeared in Russia. It would not have been know to the outside world if it weren't for the bravery of the forty-year-old Dmitri Zelenin, governor of the Tver region in Russia. He managed to secretly take a photo of the live worm that was crawling actively on his plate and publicized it on Twitter, a popular social networking site. Instead of being disgusted by the worm, he actually found it funny. However, his colleagues and other members of the Russian government unfortunately didn't share his sense of humor. Zelenin's mental competence was attacked and many called for his resignation and expulsion. Most vocal of all was Sergei Prikhodko, Medvedev's lap dog. Obviously, this means incident was an embarrasment to the ruling body of Russia. The chef who was responsible for the dinner, Anatoly Galkin, denied that there were earthworms in any of the dishes, saying that each and every dish was carefully examined. The moral of the story is that some people just can't take a joke.
