Oh, for goodness sakes. This is a serious topic! Anyway, I would have appreciated Professor Borgerso’s opinions more had she made them while wearing a string bikini.

Redheads are either super hot or not she is on the meh side of redheads. That said eating cicadas is not crazy First Nations,and Native Americans have eaten them for the wonderful natures bounty they represents for tens of thousands of years. They have twice the protein per gram as bison where bison already beats domesticated cattle. Once a generation a massive protein feast from mother earth would come it was a time for celebrations for what the Great Spirit had provided in bounty.
Taste wise grilled or fried I would challenge someone in a blind taste test to not tell me they are eating shrimp or prawn. Just handing one to someone blind a d eating it the first thing they would say is grilled shrimp. Only Americans peal shrimp most the rest of the world eats them whole shell on as do I having been on 6 or 7 continents myself now.
There are other ‘broods’ that come out in other 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.
They don’t put out articles like this in other years, tho...I have to think its because these are particularly “tasty”.
:]
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...
That made me gag just to look at it!
Why should I take culinary advice from someone who want me dead?
I will eat anything that doesn’t eat me first...................
Are they serving them at Davos?
Not in season...................
If you put cicadas in your dog’s food you would be arrested for animal cruelty. Except the dog would probably rather starve than eat them.
I encourage people to eat them if they want. I will abstain to make sure others have enough.
She can have my share.
That reminds me of an old Smothers Brothers skit mocking a Lay’s potato chip add.
