    Default Would you eat bugs?

    Now this is serious. I'm not talking about a starvation situation. There are places that serve em up in different ways.

    Would you eat them properly cooked and would you eat them alive and raw?

    Nothing like a juicy fat Madagascan ****roach eh?

    Not a chance. I'll try anything food wise. I worked with a couple of guys one was Hmong and the other was Thai and they would bring me some exotic foods. From little fried whole frogs to this blood cake soup and I tried them all.

    Bugs are a different matter entirely and I'll pass, thank you very much.

    Very interesting question for the morning.

    I make my own bread with flour that I have ground myself, but sometimes I do eat things made with processed flour. That guarantees that I eat bugs.

    And mouse poop.

    That was my thought also. However not knowing, or having ground bug in small quantities and unnoticed is much different than scarfing down a whole roach!

    How much BBQ sauce can I use??

    i have no desire to eat anything that will pop in my mouth and expel all kinds of nasty goo.. i have however eaten chocolate covered grasshoppers while in mexico and i thought they were kinda tasty.. not really on my list favourite foods... but i would eat them again if they were laying around.

    Mmmmmmm! ****roaches! Crunchy on the outside, gooey in the middle!

    It's all situational, if an ant got on my sandwich at the picnic, that's his problem. if I am truly hungry, why not? If it was well prepared and smelled good, I just may give it a try.

    I'm generally not squeamish but I draw the line at bugs. If I were starving to death, maybe, but since this is not the scenario you're presenting, I'd have to say I wouldn't eat them.

    I think I'd give them a go if they were cooked. I always find it easier when I see others tucking in too. I'd have to pass at the live stuff though. I do eat raw shellfish, so I don't claim to be logical about this, but it just seems unnecessarily cruel to eat them alive.

    Anyway, what are you thinking of eating?!

    Default hmmmmm

    Are there large amounts of hot sauce involved? Wait a minute, screw that. I don't intentionally eat bugs. Ever.

    Well, maybe next year, when the tax increases cut in.
