Show me a cockroach that tastes like crab legs with butter and I’m eating those, too

Don’t knock it until you’ve boiled a cockroach and put butter on it!

Yeah, but you usually peel a crab or shrimp before eating it. How do you peel the carapace of a cockroach?

I think it’s a delicacy on certain train rides.

You could try living under abject poverty and serfdom for generations. Or maybe lenghty castle siege.

Granted, water bugs have LEAGUES more meat on their exoskeletons then their land based counterparts.

Like that feels a bit weird to size comparison a centipede and a lobster, which is like 30 times it’s size.

Absolutely. We’d definitely have centipede cuisine if they were the size of a lobster. People will eat anything.

I don’t eat either. I’m consistent.

The ocean flavor really elevates them beyond terrestrial bugs.

Brining other meats makes them taste better, why wouldn’t the briney deep make my bugs taste better?

Call it by its name. They are salty.

The ocean flavor can be achieved with dry algae put on water.

I’m squeamish about bugs or water bugs.

I also have a tough time eating animals after I see someone clean it.

Do I wish someone would make a grasshopper burger that wouldn’t get chitin stuck between my teeth so I could eat more protein with a lot more of a clear conscious? Hell yeah.

Some people dry them and grind them into powder. Quite tasty actually.
