” I will stick to ocean bugs like shrimp and lobster.”

Don’t forget their tasty freshwater cousins in Louisiana! It’s mudbug season in these parts sadly the drought conditions in the delta swamp has made them expensive like $15lb expensive for decent sized ones.

That said chocolate covered ants and grasshoppers are quite good. So are locusts fried and dusted with harisa powder they are called deserts shrimp for a reason. There is no less than 5 places in Austin I can think of selling chapulines for $5+ per street sized taco think two bites each. They sell out every day people line up for them.

Yeah, no doubt Austin people line up for that sh!t. It’s so cool to be cool and edgy.

Please, enjoy my ration of bugs with my blessing!

I’ll be eating boring old typical meat. You know, the things men have been eating BY CHOICE for millenia.
