I don’t think eating cicadas every 17 years is sustainable.
Besides, I am NOT buying the eating insects agenda of the demonically fueled left and globalists.
If some people want to supplement their diet with bugs, more power to them, but as far as I know, the human digestive system is not particularly suited for bug digestion.
Maybe it’s just me, but Professor Cortni Borgerson Assistant Professor of Anthropology looks like she just might be one cicada short of a full deck. I’ll stick to a ham sandwich, thank you.
You vill eat ze bugs.
You can have my share...
Have plenty of them here in Texas. I don’t know which subspecies we have, but I know that my dogs, and cats love them. Cats will jump several feet off the ground to catch them in mid-flight. They are also the prime food of copperhead snakes. Anywhere there is any concentration of cicadas, there will be copperheads. Usually kill 5-6 copperheads around the house here every year, but the cats being here have pushed the snakes further out. Almost pure protein, I have heard. I’m just not that hungry yet....
How do you get past the beady little eyes staring up at you?
Oh yum. 🤢
Best thing to do with Cicadas is catch them and use them for catfish bait. Then put the rest in cornmeal and put em in the freezer for later use.
Excited about eating 17 year locusts. I think this girl needs a life.
Red wigglers are safe to eat as well. But, unless I’m lost in the forest and have no survival food with me, I’m not eating them for dinner. So, don’t be sending me any red wiggler recipes.
I have ate bugs.......not on purpose.
If you are a cat.
They all have that...”look”.
John Kerry and Klaus Schwab can have my share.
Great,,,if you only want to eat every 17 years...
I’ll pass, but remember, the Old Testament dietary laws did approve of some insects as food. The chief objection with FReepers is that the NWO wants to replace farm animals with insects for food, and we don’t want them controlling our lives.
My chickens eat bugs and only a monster would snatch their favorite food from their little beaks.
You have a nice day now.
I’m sure plenty of people who gag at the thought of eating a cicada would’t think twice about eating escargot, caviar, tobiko, uni, foie gras, vanilla ice cream, shrimp, lobster and crab (which are not much different than “bugs”, but live in the sea), raw oysters, clams and various fish. All of these things are luxury foods that are widely consumed because people have accepted them over time. I remember when brain, tripe and tongue were displayed in every grocer’s meat counter, but today Generation Z would run out of the store crying if they saw them.
Humans eat what is locally available to survive. Americans have become completely dependent on grocery stores for food. The inventory in the grocery store will dictate their diet. Those who wish to eat what they want, instead of what they are fed from big grocery, will have to develop alternative sources and methods. They might even have to relocate.
While traveling, I’ve eaten plenty of food that local people eat daily, that some foreigners that have grown accustomed to eating mass produced/farmed food from their grocery store, would find gross. Insects, balut, fruit bat, coconut crab, various snakes and lizards, eels, seaweed, brain, dried fish, various dried or pickled meats, yeasts and fungi, moldy cheeses, cabeza, and a few things I’m not sure about. Most of them were quite good, as the locals had figured out how to prepare what God provided for them in abundance. A few were not so good, but I survived...
Why should I take culinary advice from someone who want me dead?
