Oh I'd love to, if only I could afford it

The ones I've eaten didn't have as much meat, because they're small. Also, the exoskeleton of insects is a lot thinner than that of crustaceans. You don't need to remove it. You remove the legs and wings if any, as in the case of crickets. The texture and taste is nothing like seafood either, at least not mealworms, crickets or ants. Crickets are more like dry crispy beef, mealworms are similar to popcorn in taste, ants are like a strange peppery/citrus thing. You don't really feel much meaty texture with small insects, it's more like crispy or crunchy stuff. At least, fried that is.

Wait what? I don't recall doing this. Or do you mean squinting instead of actually sneezing?

That's true but OP is making a point that people who were abused by their parents are a relatively common minority, as opposed to people abused by Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny which, for sure, there may be some out there but probably not that many.

I once went to a museum and they had a chef preparing some insects. I asked him for how long he'd been cooking insects, and he kind of glanced sideways and said he had no fucking clue of what he was doing. He just got the gig to cook the insects for museum visitors and just rolled with it. They were good though, there were crickets, ants and mealworms.

They're crustaceans, along with lobsters and crabs. Not insects

I've tried them without flavoring just fried and they resemble a lot that crispy layer of connective tissue that you get on ribs. So BBQ is probably a great pairing with that.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago

Yes.

I mean I've tried them already, only reason they're not part of my diet is that they're not usually (read: never) in stock where I get my groceries.

I would miss eggs terribly though, would those be banned too?

Wait what? You can't N2 without also doing N1????
