      If you need to drown something in drawn butter to make it edible, I don’t think it should be considered food. The butter is the food. 😂

    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’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.

    Never had a problem with most insects. I can’t say I have ever had anything along the lines of worms, but I wouldn’t be opposed.

    Grasshoppers and bee larvae are both normal foods in my country, the younger generation doesn’t really eat them much but you can definitely find them around. Usually older-style drinking establishments. They’re good.

    Silkworm pupae are the absolute best drinking snack and I will die on this hill. Give me a cup of beondegi and beer and I am good for the night.

      I like fried shrimp, like the small ones in fried rice, but crabs and lobsters have always been a no for me. It’s not even that I think they’re gross, I just don’t want to eat them.
