Insect Food - Would You Eat It?
I’ve heard of eating snails in France but would you eat this? They put insets in their cakes and claim it’s a good source of protein. Do you think they will start serving this during networking events? lol
(A video this time rather then an article!)

hmm delicious insets
I ate one of those lollipops that have insects in it once. Mine had a little scorpion. It was gross as hell
Problem I heard in Europe is the EU food regulation wouldn't allow commercialization of insect foods, as the use of pesticides etc...on crops makes the majority of these insects toxic for human consumption.
And anyway...We can start this topic after a nuclear war where eating insects in the west will be relevant lmao.
Mass production of insects for human consumption is being considered as a food source in the developing world. Insects would be able to provide protein much more economically than livestock.
Would I eat insects? Fuck no. There is no way to separate the "meat" from the rest of the insect, so you wind up eating the whole thing, shit and all.
I eat flying ants. It's a delicacy in the African nation I'm consulting in.
I fry them without oil (they're oily enough), salt them, and stick em in my salad. Very crunchy on the ouside but soft in the middle. Yummy. Lots of protein. They only come out once a year though. I've also tried grasshoppers and hairyy catepillars. Big ones. Not so nice.
That is awesome. Anyone ever seen "Bizarre Foods" on the Travel Channel? Travel Channel was pretty much the only TV I watched in college. That and sports. It is a great channel.
Only if your mom turned into a grasshopper.
A guy I know used to fry crickets and eat them, I have no idea why. I'd only do this in a survival situation. The flyng ants do sound cool though, maybe I'd give it a shot.
There are some places where there are no alternative protein sources, so people eat Madagascan cockroaches for protein. Yum.
