Mud Bugs.. The other white meat.
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.

H.I.: You ate what?
Ear-Bending Cellmate: We ate sand.
[pause]
H.I.: You ate SAND?
Ear-Bending Cellmate: That’s right!
