What about eating possum & squirrel? I'm in the south, but that's some really deep south shit. lol

I might try a chocolate covered grasshopper. Other than that, I have no interest. I'm not extremely grossed out by the idea in general.....just no desire. I'm only grossed out if it's one of those worms. I just imagine juice gushing out the minute you bite into it.

The dietary laws in Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14. I like to put so-called "Christians" on the spot every time they dare to question me about why I don't eat pork.

I want to see you eat bugs first

I find a dare hard to resist.

those, too...nothing goes to waste here...turtles too...

thejason said:

It fucked me up when I found out that some folks down south eat possum

Harlepolis said:

Yep! They eat groundhogs too!!

Harlepolis said:

it's not my thing but I dont understand why 'exotic food' bothers people...most folks eat chicken and thats honestly the most vile creature ever known...it will shit, turn around and eat it, then shit again...not to mention they're cannibals...

thejason said:

I'm not bothered by exotic food honestly, I will eat a rabbit and ANY type of seafood that isn't really "conventional", but anything that produces a stench as a defence mechanism is OFF HANDS I don't give a shit how that mofo looks/tastes/smells after the finished cooked product.

Harlepolis said:

ever smelled a cow fart when its been scared??

TonyVanDam said:

maybe because bacon and seafood taste good? I dunno about raccoon though. blech!!!

Bless Ellen she did it!!! And dayum Salma hooked up her bug taco and just went CHOMP!!!

DesireeNevermind said:

She sure did! she almost made it sound good

I wouldnt normally but whilst traveling in Australia one of the members of the tour (who was a complete %&*£!) was winding up the tour guide saying he wouldnt be able to find any witchetty grubs. He managed to dig up 2 in about 5mins and the German guy backed down and wouldnt eat them after showing off say he and his new wife (it was there honeymoon though you wouldnt have thought so how he was behaving) would eat them if the guy could find them. So some how me and the other British guy ended up doing it, and tbh it wasnt that bad kind of tasted like peanuts .

^ looks like popcorn

This is what it looks like normally, though I think that must be a kid holding it or something because I am sure mine wasnt that size lol.

Awwww...now it's too cute to eat. Big ole popcorn/hominy grit looking caterpillar. Poor thang!

DesireeNevermind said:

I did feel awful and wouldnt have eaten we could have put it back but it lives in hollow roots which you cant put them back into when he has broken them open to get it if or it had still been alive or but I stupidly mentioned the fact I would eat it if it was dead .

...But, ya know, that woman is so fine, she could've eaten a human embryo an I'd be willing to give her a pass.

I am gonna have to say Nay on this one. If I eat something that didn't come from the ocean, it probably needs to have a spine at some point

Why not?

I'm not saying I'd eat bugs every day, but if I was hungry enough, or if I was visiting someplace where critters were just part of the local cuisine I'd go for it.

I've already eaten dried mealworms, crickets, and scorpions that were in candy. It's not a big deal.

This reminds me of a few years back when we had that huge cicada swarm that comes like every 17 years. And obviously if something only comes around that often, it must be a delicacy. During that time I saw chocolate covered cicadas, cicada ice cream...you name it. It was probably made with cicadas.

In the bible, Christians are allowed to eat pork, Jesus dying on the cross thingy made it OK. That's why menstruating women are allowed to speak in churches now and not be kicked outta town... that's in the book of Leviticus too. Jesus made it OK for ALL animals to be consumed (including roaches, maggots, lobster, pork, etc.) , yeah, just gotta pray over the grub and give thanks. Ya musta been thinking about our Jewish friends.

And a big nay on the bugs... I'm allergic to roaches and dust mites. Can't do that fear factor crap.

b3xy said:

thats too big. i couldnt

I'm going to say nay. The ones I've tried, little snack insects, don't really do it for me. There are always tastier snacks to be eating instead. On principle though I wouldn't rule them out. If it tastes good I'm game.

NAY!
