Kentucky fried bugs

Hm. I would eat it - if I am surviving a plane crash in the middle of the jungle. But here in my normal life? Must I copy everything just it is being done in other parts of the world? In Asia they also eat dogs - must we do it too, therefore?

If they would be wise, they would take the protein from these "food suppliers" and give it an industrial treatement, like you do with Tofu or flour. Protein-bars basing on industrially treated bugs is something I actually could imagine to use, like I also use tofu and certain other food items I occasionally buy in a Bio-shop.

I love traveling, and I have had a lot of "odd" foods
trust me, most are not as bad as you would think

I've had fried insects. They were pretty good, and I could see myself eating them as a snack. The only problem was reaching into the bag and pulling out one to eat, and having all those dead legs and wings brushing against my hand.

Are in a survival situation, you have not many choices to make, and then you take what is available, and it wont be like this, tree roots, grass.etc

For me there would have to be no other option as well as being close to death from starvation

Hold the bugs...pass the scotch.

Scottish bugs taste no better

AVGWarhawk · 04-18-11, 09:54 AM

Well then...pass the scotch so I can kill the taste of said crusty critters.

I just can not see myself indulging in bugs.

After you enjoy your meal of maggots and flies, be sure to save room for these delectable desert trays, such as chocolate covered scorpions.

As part of the food chain I'm sure bugs are part of the chain but not directly connected to my link. It is several links between. I like it that way.
