Doesn’t Bear Grylls have a bug recipe survival book?
bugs are yummy. part of the global warming hoax.
I’ll stick with beef and pork, thanks anyways.
Fine coinsurers agree, the perfect libation to accompany cicadas is warm cow urine strained through a dirty sweat sock.
After that vivid description, I think I’ll take a pass on the
Buggy-Menu. Even if they were being sold 10 for $1.00.
Just pass me the roasted cauliflower with sesame seed oil, and I’m fine.
Even if my ribs were touching my backbone, I wouldn’t.......
Cicadas, locusts, grasshoppers, crawdads, salt water prawns, fresh water prawns all taste nearly identical when cooked with the same methods..why? Because there are less than .01% genetic differences between those species. They all are Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Arthropoda, Class: Insecta. As are every lobster and every type of crabs as well. It’s semantics the differences between them if you eat shrimp or lobster you are eating “bugs” get over yourself. Scientifically identical to the same bugs in your walls and floor there is not enough difference in DNA to call it anything else.
And that is the point where I realized early in life that I would not eat English peas or a myriad of other things that others may call food. I've eaten shark, frog legs, snake, rabbit and squirrel and even liked it. I draw the line with creepy things and most vegetables that make my brain cringe and my stomach hurl.
I am all for people eating bugs if they want to.
I will stick with meat for now, thanks.
For some reason I’m thinking of Gomer Pyle on the survival course where he gained weight.
I didn’t claw my way to the top of the food chain just so I could eat bugs.
I ate roasted insects in Thailand in the street markets. I was chaperoning student on a field trip. The deal was anything I ate they had to eat as well.
The beattle grubs were good and tasted like scrambled eggs. The roasted spiders on a stick needed a dit soda to get down.
Wait, before you preheat the oven . . . .
“Hallucinogenic Fungi Turn Cicadas Into Sex-Crazed Zombies”
“Before you start chomping on cicadas trying to get high, though, researchers warn that psilocybin is only one of many compounds found in this fungus, including some that may be harmful.”

I’ll never be that hungry.
Seems like the sort if thing you need to be brought up with to fully appreciate.
They certainly sound like something that shouldn’t be hurried when preparing.
Euell Gibbons?
Well, it was good enough for John the Prophet.
In case you want to ruin your appetite, LOL.
