Is Bill Gates behind this ‘New Recipes’ movement?
Asking for a friend.
This sounds like something he or Elon Musk would say, just to see how many people would quickly jump on the bandwagon.
The push to eat bugs continues unabated. .... Just new formatting. No thanks, and BTW, we see you.
Funny, we are the land of plenty, we have almost anything in the world to eat but yet there are those in the country that want us to resort to eating bugs. No thanks. Insects, its whats for dinner....in 3rd world craphole countries. Just where the left wants us to go.
Don’t miss the recipe for
“Emergence Cookies”
I don’t think changing the name to “Emergency” cookies would help, no matter how much chocolate goes in.
I have lived and worked on all continents of the world except Australia and Antarctica searching for oil. I have ate a lot of strange stuff. I have not tried bugs yet but would.
If they tasted good what the hell, put them on the menu. I grew up in West Texas and South Louisiana.
You would be surprised what we ate in South Louisiana. If it tasted good and would not kill you we ate it. The swamp was an absolute paradise for a young kid growing up. It taught you much about food and survival. That swamp would feed you. If you were not a swamp rat it could kill you.
Most fear the alligator. It is the Water Moccasin that will get you.
I do not eat bugs.
Except water bugs.
Can you freeze them and use them over the next 16 years?
And why is it I remember cicadas EVERY summer in Texas?
The jaybirds in my part of Texas feasted on the cicadas and katydids. Their death cries are horrible.
Bald peanuts is like salty gooey ***
Winter cicadas?
Ours are dead heat summer horror movie version
Do you pull off the legs, like you do shrimp?
you eat ‘em. I just aint that hungry yet. Having watched people over several years pick boogers out of their nose and eat them. I guess I’m just a little bit picky. I’m NOT eating boogers, bugs, worms...
China needs food....
When they say “cicadas” are they talking the whole thing, wings, legs and all?
No.
