I know most of us look at those things and say, "ACK! They can have it!" And I know that, even though I have had chocolate covered ants and fried grasshoppers, bugs are not at the top of my choices for dinner tonight.

That said, I'm sure those cultures look at us eating cheese and wonder how we can stomach eating moldy, curdled milk ferment.

[From many - one.]

I’ve been asked precisely that by folks from India.

BTW sugared bees taste awful and the formic acid in chocolate covered ants doesn’t help that flavor any. Someday I’ll get to try fried grubs.

Some cultures look at the fact that we eat eggs in abject horror.

That said... I am not a big bug person, so I don’t know if I could eat them or not. Except we all do eat bugs.

The FDA has a maximum allowable amount of bugs for most foods. And insects are used in food coloring (cochineal and carmine red are made from beetles).

so... //shrugs//
