Chonta Kuros is a delicate dinner item around here, they are maggots that come from within the Chonta palm (also called peach palm, its fruit is yellow, with fibrous pulp, dark brown wood is very hard but elastic).

They are either roasted as they are on open fire (often charcoal in the towns), or rolled in banana leaves and cooked likewise.
