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

[-] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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

[-] ComradeSalad@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Caradoc879@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

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

Except the rich, apparently.

[-] Currens_felis@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 year ago

I don’t eat either. I’m consistent.

[-] kemsat@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

The ocean flavor really elevates them beyond terrestrial bugs.

[-] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Franfran2424@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Call it by its name. They are salty.

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

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 points 1 year ago

If a cockroach tasted as good as lobster with some garlic and butter, I'd be okay with land bugs, too.

[-] rrrurboatlibad@lemdro.id 4 points 1 year ago

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. 😂

[-] Koppensneller@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

How do you know they don't?

[-] comradeRichard@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] Franfran2424@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

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

[-] Kirbywithwhip1987@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Who even has a problem with this?

Scorpions? Lobsters? Crabs? Whatever man just keep bringing me that!

I don't see a problem here, i hate both.

[-] XEAL@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Calling them the same doesn't make them the same.

[-] Addfwyn@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 1 year ago

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 know it's a meme but fr tho crabs/lobsters/shrimp have always grossed me out and the few times i've tried them i wanted to barf

[-] Jonathan12345@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] CicadaSpectre@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago

I've had scorpion before. I'd eat crickets if they were prepped right. Grasshoppers, too.

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Nice try, CIA.

[-] odium@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago

I hate both

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Scrimps is bugs

[-] FanonFan@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

Grasshoppers aren't too bad

[-] Aru@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 year ago

You'd eat a sardine, but not a dolphin? I don't understand

[-] ubermeisters@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

How do you not understand exoskeleton

[-] Franfran2424@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

sardines dont have exoskeleton. they have scales as their skin, and a verterbral column we call spine.

[-] Aru@lemmygrad.ml -2 points 1 year ago

Both exoskeleton, both are fish, same difference, there's a lot of factors that decide a person's preference in food not one thing.

You... think a dolphin is a fish?

Also, neither have exo (as in, external) skeletons.

[-] Aru@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

That's besides my point, the post is obviously a shitpost and arguing any further makes us look like 🤓☝️

[-] Franfran2424@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

neither have exo-skeleton, and dolphins are mammals, they give birth to already formed animals insted of laying eggs.

[-] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

This is the most clear cut "2 types of people in the world" problem I've ever seen

[-] visnudeva@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago
[-] ekZepp@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Lemme eat the yummy watery fellas

[-] Life2Space@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Is there anything wrong with that?
