she looks comfortably hungry. i lik that.
Grasshoppers and locusts have a nice earthy taste, similar to shrimp but also not exactly the same. They lack the slightly fishy taste that shrimp has.
Yeah, Humans. Stop being such hypocrites. Arthropods from the sea and ones from land are both delicious when prepared right, and a great source of protein, you should give them a try. I know there are some people who aren’t hypocritical and do enjoy both but many are.
The logic of eating bugs is undeniable, but so is the revulsion. I need it in a form where I can tell myself it’s just anonymous protein. If we can turn a blind eye to what goes on in factory farms and slaughterhouses, we should be able to not look at where our bugburgers come from as well.
I find both repulsive.
You’d have to give it the ol’ Jamie Oliver treatment. De-everything it, until it’s just meat, then blend it up, coat it with breadcrumbs, and serve it as chicken* nuggets.
Probably the only way I’d ever eat bugs.
It’s a texture thing for me. Prawns and crab etc have a texture that makes me want to puke. I have tried many times in the past to learn to be okay with different types of shellfish and I have failed everytime. Even ordered scallops on a fancy restaurant once and they tasted really nice, but the texture made my skin crawl.
I’m sure landbugs would be the same for me. Nice tastes, repulsive texture.
Lobster used to be considered barely edible cockroaches of the sea: https://enviroliteracy.org/did-lobster-used-to-be-poor-people-food/
Eating bugs does give me a bit of an “ick”, but I’m sure I could get over that with enough processing or experience.
Or starvation. That’s a great motivator
Are these food ?? Really ???
Yes, to both.
Arthropod
I stick to plants. But, both sea plants and land plants!
I think they meant arthropod. Anthropod means “human leg.”
Yea and they’re delicious when they come from the sea
You’re right, but finding human legs in the sea is quite rare.
Can’t find your sea legs, eh? Classic landlubber.
Best I can do is sea feet.
after pouring over missing person records and studying underwater pig carcasses and regional tides, researchers think they have their answer to the mystery of the severed foot case.
Just your average 9 to 5! 😄
You need to find one of those reverse mermaids, and finding the regular kind is hard enough.
Depends on who you are
Especially when it’s prepared correctly (smothered in amber gris).
My people can make anything that can taste good, taste good. If roaches could be spiced to taste delicious, we would have done it and I would have no problems eating them.🦞👈🏽🪳✋🏽
They can be, and indeed are in some places.
You can easily find roasted scorpions and roaches on a stick around China
Thailand too, also mexico and parts of south America.
Klingons and Ferengi eat a mostly insect based diet. We hu mans could learn a thing or two
“Anthropod?”
CRAB PEOPLE
This is true though, I see no issue.
“I just don’t like sea bugs.” Is legitimately one of my defenses when people rib me about not liking lobster etc.
Lobster is so overrated in my opinion.
Now crab…
Lobster is just a butter delivery system.
There’s cheaper, and easier systems for this.
A spoon?
Lobster is so overrated in my opinion.
Come to Italy and try some Spaghetti all’Astice. You’ll change your mind.
Dying might change my mind, yes. I seem to be allergic to both kinds of bugs
It might be the chitin. Do mushrooms bother you?
I’m the same way. Lobster makes me physically sick to my stomach for some reason (even though I don’t hate the taste), but crab is delicious.
Some folks have never been to a proper crawfish boil either and it shows
Does “proper” include knowing how to eat it?
and mine for beef is “I just don’t like leg whales”
Sizewise, more like land dolphins.
I mean, humans do eat the land ones tho, they’re just not so popular with the cultures most represented here.
This isn’t universal “human” but very culturally different
I beleive Australian Aboriginal People have what they call
