I should have said some areas of France...there were none to be found where
we went a few years ago, just South of Nantes...also they are largely
unavailable in Spain and Hungary...you can get earthworms but maggots are
only in small packs, like a pillbox, containing about half a dozen.

You can get maggots in France, at least where I spent a fortnight in August
you could (Argentat on the Dordogne). They are called pinkies and look
similar in size to our own pinkies. They are multicoloured and come in
small bags at about 2 euros a bag. Four bags is just about a pint, so
that's approx 8 euros a pint.
