Larvae

I get Larvae, too, but I'm not sure how I got it. I mean, grubs, yeah, but "Vera and Albert personally" has me puzzling. I could see "Vera, Al..." but the "and" and "bert"?

VERA and AL personally cooked the grubs; in fact, they used their own names to form the word. :)

I get "Albert personally" means to use his personal nickname, Al. But I'm not sure how cooking ties in.

Vera + Al "cooked", (mixed up) = larvae
