Good enough for John the Baptist good enough for me.

...

I’ve read that locust was another word for carob.

Crickets, grasshoppers and bees are actually quite delicious when sautéed in soy sauce, sugar, and sake, and other flavorings.

...

In other words, make sure you can’t taste or recognize the crickets, grasshoppers and bees.

Bugatarians are welcome to my portions; in exchange, I’ll volunteer to eat their portions of steak out of the goodness of my heart, you know, to relieve them of any humanitarian guilt.

BTW, don’t Bugatarians know that insects have feelings too?

Ah, ok, hadn’t heard that before.

My mom once made me carob brownies.

Never had grasshopper, but didn’t like carob.

“crickets and kin are the next sushi”

And dirt is the next caviar.

Perhaps. I’ve only eaten the packaged and canned stuff. Eaten raw I image they’d be pretty terrible.

I did some more checking and it looks like John did eat insects. Not only that but locusts were considered Kosher in his time. I wonder if they still are. I’d rather eat catfish, farm raised, though.

FWIW, the rabbis of the Talmud identified four kosher species of locust.

The Kosher Locust, good name for a band or bar.

If they give it another name, I could see it becoming a fad. People who wouldn’t touch a plate of pigeon will still eat squab. But if they keep the names? No, the ick factor will still be there.

They were what’s for dinner when I was in air crew combat survival school. They’re not for dinner in my house and never will be.

Ratburgers: Prime rat meat; rats grow fast, breed copiously and will eat anything. Along with soylent green, this will be pushed by the libs as a prime source of protein.
