“There are already some insect parts in virtually any candy bar. That doesn’t mean I want them there”
I can tell you stories about what gets into the Fig Newton filling.
Mud Bugs.. The other white meat.
No, I should not.
Confucius say: Eating bugs gives you bad case of Barking Spiders....
Loved it; absolutely loved it.
If you eat lettuce or spinach out of your garden, you have eaten bugs.
At least “locust flour” is divorced enough from the consumption that it doesn’t gross people out.
Putting it in front of most people will gross them out, whereas making the ground up bugs into high protein powder that is just one more exotically named ingredient in a bar no one notices doesn’t create psychological issues.
Suppose I open a bug restaurant could the PA Health Dept, shut me down for roaches? How about a fly in the soup?
Actually, it’s quite a rare salad that I pluck out of my garden and toss in a bowl w/oil and vinegar and am getting ready to munch on that a small spider doesn’t suddenly leap out of there!
Good for him, I guess... better than the ones I didn’t discover!
There are so many insects where we live, you can’t laugh while riding the four wheeler without eating a few.
They’re thick where I live. I’ll have to try that.
How come we get grossed out about eating bugs but pay a premium for beverages in which yeast have drowned in their own pee?
God says there are only four species of locust that are kosher to eat.

Trivia question:
What is the only food in the world that comes from an unkosher animal/insect?
Honey!
“So Kosher”
by Eric Schwartz (aka Smooth E)
So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
Make it so kosher for me.
So kosher for me.
So kosher for me,
Make it so kosher for me.
Mmmm, I like it like that.
Corn beef with no fat,
I don’t know how to snack.
So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
Make it so kosher for me.
Mmmm, I like it like that.
Can’t eat this and that.
I don’t know how to snack.
So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
Make it so kosher for me.
I’m a keep kosher,
My neck and my back hurtin’.
Before we start eatin’,
We go through a long service.
Cut the brisket,
Then you start servin’.
Pour out the (Mani)schewitz,
Start slicky slick slurpin’.
Slow down for me,
You eatin’ too fast.
My fingers keep drippin’,
It goes straight to my @$$.
Keep the gefilte fish,
I can’t stand it, it’s soggy.
It’s somethin’ I despise,
I feed it to the doggy.
Can’t love it all,
Like herring still on the bone.
Cow tongue is bad,
and chopped liver is wrong.
Most of these dishes I love
And they are delish,
But gefilte fish
Man, it makes me sick like...
Mmmm, I like it like that.
Corn beef with no fat,
I don’t know how to snack.
So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
Make it so kosher for me.
Mmmm, I like it like that.
Can’t eat this and that.
I don’t know how to snack.
So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
Make it so kosher for me.
It’s like I live by the rules of the psalm,
‘Cause I’m a Jew and I’m strong,
Without tattoos on my arm.
All the meals I eat are kosher,
And abide by the law.
You can’t eat pig, or clams, or crabs,
Or even lobsters or prawns.
The milk can’t even be on,
the same plate the spare ribs is on.
You must a heard about
the meals I prepared up in my home.
All these dishes are delicious,
And resistance is wrong.
But only bagels and knishes,
Man, my choices is gone.
I would like to try what’s new,
And defy the rules.
But really ain’t no question
About what my wife would do.
Little momma gettin’ tempted,
I ain’t tryin’ to.
But see those popcorn scrimp?
Just wanna try a few.
You know, the Jewish law,
Can’t mix the meat with the milk.
I go to restaurants
And there ain’t nothin’ to serve me.
Can’t a player try it out,
If I said, “please” with it?
How am I suppose to eat a burger,
without cheese with it?
Mmmm, I like it like that.
I want a Big Mac.
I don’t know how to snack.
So kosher for me,
So kosher for me.
So kosher for me,
Make it so kosher for me.
Mmmm, I like it like that.
Can’t eat this and that.
I don’t know how to snack.
So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
Make it so kosher for me.
Mmmm, I like it like that.
Can’t eat this and that.
I don’t know how to snack.
So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
So kosher for me,
Make it so kosher for me.
Mmmm!
I’m a prepper and I think that the movement to grow your own protein and move past the ‘ug’ factor to provide for yourself is a great thing.
Don’t know if I’ve got the courage to actually do it... but I applaud the ones who do.
Many people think that eating snake and turtle is terrible, but it’s not that uncommon.
Rather eat the camel toes from your previous post.
I’m old enough to remember when “mud bugs” were considered po’ folks’ food. Poor rural blacks and whites would harvest them from swamps and ditches, because they were free.
You could not find them in the grocery, nor served in high end restaurants.
Now they’re a Cajun delicacy, $9 lb. last I checked.
It’s all in the marketing.
Raising Arizona:
Ear-Bending Cellmate: ...and when there was no meat, we ate fowl and when there was no fowl, we ate crawdad and when there was no crawdad to be found, we ate sand.
H.I.: You ate what?
Ear-Bending Cellmate: We ate sand.
[pause]
H.I.: You ate SAND?
Ear-Bending Cellmate: That’s right!
I agree.
Where I live now, we get green grasshopper infestations every few years. I’d definitely harvest and eat them in a SHTF situation. I’ve had them chocolate-coated and barbecued. Not my favorite thing, but not repulsive.
Snake is really tasty, turtle soup is outstanding.
Try fried alligator, if you haven’t already. Awesome!
I won’t eat rat, or anything that looks like a rat. Possum just looks nasty and unclean. Seems like there’d be enough vegetation to be foraged, so it wouldn’t be necessary. But if starving, who knows what I’d do? 8-)
