Yuck! As if mcD isn’t bad enough?

[PLMerite]

Just no.

You can enjoy your “Long Island Lobsters” with some nice fresh “Mountain Oysters” on the side. I’m sticking with “food” thank you. 🐂🦈🍏🍊🍉🍈🍍🍅🥦🌽🍠🥖🥩🥑🥝🍑🍐🍋🍎🍇🍒🍓🍞🍗🥗🍕🍩

As a matter of fact, I have eaten Rocky Mountain Oysters.

For the daring, there is The Testicle Festival at the Rock Creek Resort in Montana.

As with almost everything, they’re better with some Cheez-Whiz.

John the Baptist seemed to have thought so.

How to neutralize Biblical curses.

DANG!

I ate an ant once. The thing was so disgustingly sweet that I will never do it again.

Personally, I prefer my tacos prepared sin ojos, myself.

What about worms?

Its easier to take an image - say 1400px 1200px (px is pixels) and divide both numbers by 2. 3. 4 or whatever. In this case: width=1400px height=1200px becomes width=700px height=600px when divided by 2. Then hit the preview button and see if that’s the size you wish - remember to always divide both height and width by the same number else the image will be wonky.

One of the best ways to find an image is to search for the topic, subject and then click Images. Find the one you want, shift click or whatever brings up an alternative menu on your system and select Image Info (the images should have sizing as you scroll over them). That brings up the image and its address along with the size, usually large images will have the small size in parenthesis.

hope that helps

Those hoppers are as big a hotdogs!! Where’s the stadium mustard!?

“Leviticus 11 lists certain species of grasshopper that are permissible for Jews to eat.”

I remember reading that. I read the Torah cover to cover one year.

There are also distinctions about which ones are okay, and which ones are not.

Here’s one translation:

All flying insects that walk on all fours are to be regarded as unclean by you. 21 There are, however, some flying insects that walk on all fours that you may eat: those that have jointed legs for hopping on the ground. 22 Of these you may eat any kind of locust, katydid, cricket or grasshopper. 23 But all other flying insects that have four legs you are to regard as unclean.

Some restaurants have broadened the term chapulines to include crickets rather than grasshoppers. I have eaten a cricket taco and was not terribly impressed. The flavor of the cricket was masked by the spices and other additions. I imagine the grasshopper version is not much different.

[piasa]

Most insects have 6 legs... cannot think of any right now with only 4.

[MarkL]

I'm fairly certain that insects are NOT Kosher. I know that Kosher bakeries spend a lot of effort, sifting through flower in temporary containers, to ensure that no insects have gotten into the flour. If any are found, the entire bag of flour is discarded.

That has to be a cheap lunch.
