Zybourne Clock posted:Summer 2050. A guy with hoops the size of a kid's bicycle wheels embedded into his earlobes and a beard that lost its fight with a weedwhacker welcomes the first guests to his yard. Time to start up the barbeque. The deck is cast in the soft blue hues of the lanterns hanging over head. A hapless bug flies into one of them and is summarily fried; the smell of burnt chitin fills the air. He inhales deeply. Hmmmmmmmm. Just like dad used to make. Just curious what it's like to live in 1930's and be scared of everything around you

It says $.29 on the bananas at Target and you think gently caress that's a good price per pound of nature's dildos but when you go to the register you realize they're charging you that price PER DILDO!

Almost all of the stories I've read re entemophagy have a tinge of smug sadism. "Eat less meat, or try meatless recipes? Nope gently caress your decadence and eat this handful of worms you piece of poo poo!"

If Target starts selling bug-meats, and you eat all the roaches in their bathroom, are you shoplifting? Because I'm not really looking for my Thursday afternoons to become Crime Times.

I love eating insects and I will continue to do so until this stupid planet catches fire. I buy them in bags and snack on them, raw-dog, or sprinkle them on salad and poo poo like that. One time when I was drunk I ran into a guy selling grubs. He basically just heated a couple up for me, threw them on some toast. It was basically like eating bacon grease. IMHO the way to do it is with insect flour. Cooked this way you can create something virtually indistinguishable from falafel. This is how I have converted two of my squeamish friends. The next time the cicadas come out I will eat like a king. Everything I've read says you can just swap them out for shrimp. Cicada scampi! Cicada wrapped in bacon! But in all due seriousness, I believe insects are going to be borderline necessary in the next 10-30 years as a part of our collective diet. And all of these people who are all like ewww-gross are going to be clamoring for loving mealworms the second Kylie Jenner sucks one down.

I hear you can also make falafel out of chickpeas but that may just be a rumor.

Elukka posted:It's really just an arbitrary cultural hangup that we think bugs aren't worthy food and that it's insulting to suggest we eat them. Perhaps, but I think the current stance of "you're gonna eat bugs because you loving ruined the planet" isn't a good one. If you made a Taco Bell™ Spicy Cricket enchilada I'd probably try it because new things are fun. Also, food hangups relative to cultures are rather important. Can you even prepare a Kosher insect dish? Are there religions that forbid the consumption of insects? Stuff like that should be taken into consideration before BuzzFeed journos start trying to normalize bug consumption like it's the new Soylent Green.

The targets near me look like poorly managed dollar stores with no selection, most stuff out of stock and what's there is either on the (wrong)shelf or on the floor. So there's probably plenty of bugs already there, free for the eatin'

Gjetost is kinda gross though. I feel bad about that because I am SUPER into weird food flavors, textures, and neat stuff like that in general. Plus my wife works as a dairy scientist and would be mad that I'm poo poo talking niche cheese, but I'm just not a fan. I've tried, repeatedly, believe me. But it's just not for me I guess.

If you shop in an urban supermarket your palette is already accustomed to insects and rodent feces.

What exactly is the point of eating ground up bugs that apparently at best "actually aren't that bad", when you could just eat vegetables that are actually good? I'll tell you what the point is: Profit for Big Bug.

I've always had a pet conspiracy theory that they've been preparing us to get used to eating bugs by calling meat by the name of 'protein' in cooking shows and stuff. I was always a fan of cooking shows and around the late 2000's they started calling any kind of meat, protein. Shortly before that, there were programs talking about people having to get used to eating insects because of how they can be farmed more sustainably. Obviously a coincidence but...

Was making a pizza earlier, and I accidentally rolled a gnat into the dough, but in the spirit of this thread, I ate it anyway.
