    Show me a cockroach that tastes like crab legs with butter and I’m eating those, too

      Don’t knock it until you’ve boiled a cockroach and put butter on it!

        Yeah, but you usually peel a crab or shrimp before eating it. How do you peel the carapace of a cockroach?

      I think it’s a delicacy on certain train rides.

      You could try living under abject poverty and serfdom for generations. Or maybe lenghty castle siege.

    Granted, water bugs have LEAGUES more meat on their exoskeletons then their land based counterparts.

    Like that feels a bit weird to size comparison a centipede and a lobster, which is like 30 times it’s size.

      Absolutely. We’d definitely have centipede cuisine if they were the size of a lobster. People will eat anything.

    The ocean flavor really elevates them beyond terrestrial bugs.

      Brining other meats makes them taste better, why wouldn’t the briney deep make my bugs taste better?

      Call it by its name. They are salty.

      The ocean flavor can be achieved with dry algae put on water.

    I’m squeamish about bugs or water bugs.

    I also have a tough time eating animals after I see someone clean it.

    Do I wish someone would make a grasshopper burger that wouldn’t get chitin stuck between my teeth so I could eat more protein with a lot more of a clear conscious? Hell yeah.

      Some people dry them and grind them into powder. Quite tasty actually.

    If a cockroach tasted as good as lobster with some garlic and butter, I’d be okay with land bugs, too.

      If you need to drown something in drawn butter to make it edible, I don’t think it should be considered food. The butter is the food. 😂

    Calling them the same doesn’t make them the same.

    Never had a problem with most insects. I can’t say I have ever had anything along the lines of worms, but I wouldn’t be opposed.

    Grasshoppers and bee larvae are both normal foods in my country, the younger generation doesn’t really eat them much but you can definitely find them around. Usually older-style drinking establishments. They’re good.

    Silkworm pupae are the absolute best drinking snack and I will die on this hill. Give me a cup of beondegi and beer and I am good for the night.

    I’ve had scorpion before. I’d eat crickets if they were prepped right. Grasshoppers, too.
