There's a point you reach where you will eat basically anything to survive. People have boiled their boots until the leather is soft enough to eat in order to get the calories to survive. I'm pretty sure that if it was up to eating maggots or starving to death, the maggots would actually taste good.Never tried, hope I never have to. However, if it means the difference between surviving or starving to death, I'm certain I'd find some way to get them down.
