It wouldn’t be weird to land bugs if they had that tasty meat crustaceans do. I’m big for alternative sources of protein like bugs, but the fact is they taste like shit.
chinese proverb: everything is tasty if you fry it enough.
Ate fried bugs. Can confirm they aren't tasty at all.
You weren't supposed to use motor oil
What else am I supposed to use? I only have motor oil and piss in my pantry usually
I don't know, I love fried crickets! Great beer snack!
Tequila and roasted garlic crickets
Mmm, that works too!
Did too, theres not much taste. Or flesh at all.
I thought that was a Texan proverb.
Everything is tasty with some salt/the right spice.
Made up proverb: if you’re starving to death, even dogs become food.
If there were 2lb spiders that taste like lobster roaming around on land I would sure as fuck be out in the woods with a net every weekend.
Surely you mean a flamethrower.
Interesting. So, what bugs have you eaten?
I have it on pretty good authority of the film Snowpiercer that bug bars are delicious.
I tried a mealworm chocolate bar once. Can NOT confirm.
Nah, taste is fine. It's the texture that's weird
agreed. ive had crickets at a local restaurant and once when i went to ecuador i had these giant roasted termites. both were well prepared and tasted good, but they also both (the termites in particular) had a bad texture and had pieces that just didn’t want to get swallowed. like if popcorn had 200% more kernel.
