8/17/2006: Insect snacks - Page 2

For me it just depends on what it tastes like, nothing more.
Sitting in my local cigar shop yesterday and a guy got grossed-out when I told him that all cigars had tobacco beetle larvae in them. People are weird.

The seahorses make me very sad. Are they not endangered now?

08-18-2006, 12:36 AM

There are several kinds of seahorses.

xoxoxoBruce · 08-18-2006, 03:45 AM

There's about 35 species of Seahorses, but they all live in that fragile zone where the ocean meets the shore.

I'm with rkzenrage on this one - I'll try most things and judge on the taste. The exception being anything endangered.

I like pigs more because they taste so good. I mean they are so versatile, you can use their skin, eat almost every part of them, race them, ride them tattoo them - surely evidence that that God is a Christian

Jules Winnfield: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent Vega: Yeah but bacon tastes good. Pork chops taste good.
Jules Winnfield: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy mother-fu**ers. Pigs sleep and root in sh**. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eating nothing that ain't got sense enough to disregard his own feces.
Vincent Vega: How 'bout a dog? Dog eats his own feces.
Jules Winnfield: I don't eat dog either.
Vincent Vega: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules Winnfield: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy, but they definitely are dirty. But, dog's got personality; personality goes a long way.
Vincent Vega: Ahh, so by that rational, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules Winnfield: Well, we'd have to be talking one charming mother-fu**ing pig. He'd have to be 10 times more charming than that Arnold on Green Acres.

If it tastes good and it isn't disgusting feeling in the mouth, why not? I'd eat it if it were Kosher

Sundae · 08-18-2006, 10:05 AM

Welcome The 42!

I can't imagine insects would be kosher - think how long it would take to kill them all properly!

Sundae · 08-18-2006, 10:22 AM

Just realised that you probably meant you wouldn't eat the insects, but only because they're not kosher...

Welcome The 42. I see that you are a beadweaver. We probably need to talk. A lot.

I don't think those are real sea horses. I believe they are just decorative handles on the skewers. I might be wrong.

My wife grew up in China during the Cultural Revolution (i.e., famine). She tells me they used to dig around the roots of trees to find cicada larvae to fry up. Remember Crocodile Dundee? "Tastes like shit, but it'll keep you alive."

If they were decorations on the stick, they would all look the same. But their tales are all curved differently.
