During a routine check, French health inspectors uncovered a pot of curious meat boiling on a stove at an Aubervilliers store.

Upon further investigation, the officers discovered the contents of the pot were actually a caterpillar stew.

According to the Agence France-Presse, inspectors tossed three hundred kilos (about 661 pounds) of the meat when they could not determine its origin. French police later closed the shop, citing hygiene violations.

Dishes containing caterpillar meat are apparently quite common in some African countries.
