1. ULAT SAGU

The typical Mentawai cuisine that can be classified as extreme is a yellowish sago caterpillar with a black head, the size of an adult thumb. Usually used as satay, with a sprinkling of a little salt. Cooking will be more delicious to burn with a coconut shell and do not burn. Can also be cooked with a piece of bamboo. The caterpillar's stomach is split and then inserted into the bamboo, then burned until boiling.
