$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('TheTurtle', 'H')ere's an old National Geographic article on the subject for you:
For Most People, Eating Bugs Is Only Natural

Yummmm ... enjoy! :razz:


Those same folks at National Geograpic also do stories on natives that eat Turtle soup!

Dive! Turtle Dive! :shock:

Don't know what the insecto-phobia is all about. Tons of people eat shrimp or crabs. They're nothing but underwater bugs.

My suggestion is to leave the turtles with fangs alone. They may be radioactive.

I think I'll keep the bugs for bait and fish food.
Yes, we are. As we are.

In a tight situation I wouldn't have a problem with a little extra improvised protein in the stew. Hunger is the best sauce known to man.

No I don't mind dining on the fly... :lol:

moral of the story: stockpile lots of salt and pepper! get a lifetime supply. you could probably dehydrate enough potatoes to last for decades for a couple hundred bucks. the flies could be the stand-in for wild rice.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 's')tuff the little birdies with the maggots and call it thanksgiving. serve pencil erasers as a fill-in for cranberries. you get the idea. flexibility


Well Pstarr add some garnish then serve on fine silver and you will get points for presentation.

actually, raw hide is nourishing, but commercially tanned leather is poisonous. :cry: I was just making a fan post, I like pstarr's wit.

I can't think that there'd be much nutrition in a fly. Beattles and grubs, I'd say, is where the money is.

I'd probably have to be pretty hungry to eat a city roach, but I could do a backwoods roach.

smart, smallpoxgirl, I've seen big fat roaches crawling up out of the sewer grates here in downtown SF.

They must be eating well down there, at the bottom of the food chain, in the filth.

But I bet those feisty flying cockroaches in the Everglades could be OK.
