Will you eat bugs?

There has been a movement in some circles for years, but I'm seeing more things about it popping up lately so I was wondering.....will you?

They have cricket flour, mealworms are big, and even candies with bugs.

Another aspect of eating bugs I was wondering about is........are bugs considered vegetarian or vegan acceptable?

I will and have already, and so far what I have had was tasty.

 

Sure, why not? Been wanting to try chocolate covered crickets for awhile.

 

By all accounts, mealworm patties are the most nutritious protein there is. I would try it, and if its tasty, Ill buy it.

If its not, Ill eat beef.

 

I would to keep from starving to death.

It can't be any worse than eating two "new improved suzie q's with more cake and fillings".

Two of them have a days supply of salt sugar, carbs, saturated fats, and chemical preservatives, etc.
Even palm oil. But, they sure do taste good.

 

Does anyone think bugs are vegetarian or vegan-friendly as a good source?

 

I was told bugs taste quite nutty. But I prefer real nuts.
Btw, some eat big spiders. Not my favorite food either.

 

Me does.

 

cockroaches are like lobster meat.

It's true. I saw it on the internet.

You eat bugs whether you know it or not....Many times while you sleep...

 

Bugs are animals you do understand that?

 

Yea, but according to Google an animal is "a living organism that feeds on organic matter, typically having specialized sense organs and nervous system and able to respond rapidly to stimuli." and plants fit this broad description except for the "respond rapidly to stimuli" part, so I wasn't sure.

 

The ones that get to me are the South American Natives who eat spiders. Not little ones but the big bird eating tarantulas. They have to be roasted first to remove the poisonous hairs which the arachnids can throw as a defense. Charming little creatures, so appetizing.

 

I'd like to try some grasshoppers.

Not quite, but probably better than red meat, at least theoretically.

Best way to do it is roasted with some chilies and lime.

 

You try it tell me if it's tasty I'll have a burger in the mean time

 

I've had sugar ants and ate about a million flies when I had a convertible.

In the 1970’s the craze was chocolate covered ants and grasshoppers.

 

Note that 1 to 2 pounds per person, means the US eats about 300- to 600- million pounds of insects each year. THAT'S a lot of food!

And if you eat fish, you eat worms.

For high-end fillets, lines of people use tweezers to pick worms out of back-lit fillets. They are called candling lines because back in the day, the fish were back lit by candles. But for most processed fish, you are eating baked or fried nematodes or tapeworms. And if you eat sushi or other raw fish products, you may also be eating raw worms.

Everything tastes good fried in butter.

 

I've eaten cooked baby dragonflies. The texture takes some getting used to as some parts of the body have sharp edges. The juices that break out when you bite it that are otherwise tasteless absorb the flavor of the spices it's cooked in.

I've also eaten grilled/roasted tree grubs. They are actually sweet and taste somewhat like corn.

 

Will you eat bugs?

It couldn't be any worse than Mrs. BB's cooking.

 

How about the "venus fly trap"?
