They ain’t gonna taste like shrimp to me ‘cause I ain’t eatin’ a BUG!!!!!!!!!!

IF you think about it, a shrimp is just "a bug" too...

Reminds me of a line by Steve McQueen from the movie, "Tom Horn."

Indian Scout Tom Horn was invited to a cattleman's picnic, and they were serving lobters. He's sitting there, looking at it. A woman says, "Haven't you had lobster before?" Horn said, "I've never eaten a bug that big!"

Back in the days of the Massachusetts Bay colonies lobsters were fed to prisoners, apprentices and slaves. By WWII they became rich man’s fare.
