Oh god... I bet alternative moms are swarming to their blogs sharing their own baby swinging experiences as we speak.

"Oops, I dropped mine by mistake when I tried the triple spin... I'm also worried about the ceiling fans now so I took my baby outside where it can't hit anything on the way up and if it gets dropped again, I'm hoping nature's blanket will cushion its fall."

I for one am up for some fried grasshoppers.

[Aspie]

As long as it's not roaches, I'd be good.



Mmmmmmmmm, Cicadas.

[SiL]

I'd be willing to try grasshoppers/locusts/cicadas/anything in that general area, as I imagine it wouldn't be much different to eating prawns (Shrimps for you heathens outside of Australia). Sure, it might taste different, but I don't see cracking open their shells and getting to the good stuff inside being much more off-putting.

As for cockroaches, though, no. No no no. No. No. Just no. f**k them. Kill them all, let God sort 'em out.

I've tried ground-up cricket in bread before.

Warn't bad.

What did it taste like?

Sil may actually be on the money. I've heard Locust tastes something like prawn, and cooked termites a bit nutty / carrot-like.
I think selective breeding would likely be required though...the meat / shell ratio on a lot of bugs seems really low. You'd need a lot for a real meal, unlike prawns for instance.

What did it taste like?

Pretty good. Very spicy. But that's just because they used a lot of spices.

[Cvalda]

These sound reaaallly tasty, too:

They even make tacos with em.

[Xenodog]

They do sound quite nice.
Roll on the insects I say.

[Kimarhi]

What the f**k is wrong with you people?

[SiL]

Witchetty grubs are actually pretty tasty once you get over the idea of eating something called a "grub".

[Cal427eb]

What the f**k is wrong with you people?

Hakuna matata, mang.

[SpaceMarines]

What the f**k is wrong with you people?

I already eat shrimp 'n shellfish.

Only a tiny jump 'tween that and insects.

[Crazy Rich]

Not me, I prefer chicken, pig and cow on my plate, though I've had white-tailed deer and black bear now and then in my lifetime and those are pretty good.
