It doesn't matter what you eat, as long as you're not an arsehole about it. It's that condescending sense of superiority that these people give off, whether they're vegan or barbeque fetishists, that pisses people off. If the way you talk about diet makes you sound like Richard Dawkins, you're doing something wrong. Hell, I think that applies if anything you do makes you comparable to Richard Dawkins.

I don't remember. After maybe million of years of evolution the hervibores ones had a smaller brain. Both because you don't need a genius brain to eat plants, and because plants are less awesome to power a brain. Function create the organ.

I have a twinge of guilt when I eat octopus or use them as bait while fishing. They are supposedly as smart as cats but they probably taste a lot better. The guilt goes away after the first bite.

Buy crab instead, that way you'll be freaked out by a much tastier sea bug. Then again I'm probably biased since my grandparents lived on a canal near Galveston island. Stick last night's chicken legs in a crab trap overnight, pull up tomorrow's delicious crab dinner the next day.

Jurgan posted:I've heard that in the 1800's, lobster was so abundant in New England that they fed it to Boston prisoners. It's funny how random "high class" things are. Well, yeah, if you only look at the surface of the issue... Who What Now posted:Yes, but it was also served days old and ground up with the shells into a rotten, crunchy, crab gruel. It wasn't served fresh with a side of melted butter. Basically, Lobsters are the roaches of the seas and when humans moved into their areas they thrived off of all the garbage. So you had an over-abundant pest problem, and also a problem with servants and prisoners that needed to be fed on the cheap. Use one to solve the other in the most disgusting way possible. Lobsters were basically picked up, tossed in a grinder (shell and organs and everything) and that's what you had to eat as a poor or prisoner in colonial New England. And as mentioned, you could be eating days or week old lobster slurry and this was in the days before refrigeration. There were legit riots over that for a reason. mandatory lesbian posted:i love crab, just lobsters man Ah, good, you prefer the superior sea-bug. I was basically raised on blue crab and I really can't stand lobster because to me it really is an inferior, over-priced food. And I'm pretty sure that even if you take my bias into account, Alaskan king crab legs are generally superior to lobster tail anyways.

mandatory lesbian posted:i love crab, just lobsters man What about squat lobsters? They're like a mix of crabs and lobsters.  Rare to find a place where they are actually eaten though. Who What Now posted:Yes, but it was also served days old and ground up with the shells into a rotten, crunchy, crab gruel. It wasn't served fresh with a side of melted butter. Yes, lobster was considered trash food because nobody knew how to serve them. Once people found out they tasted good when boiled properly, that status faded away. I believe the same would happen to insects if you could make them seem appetizing. That's easier said than done though, because most insects are gross and crunchy. I don't like to eat them because you pretty much have to munch on their exoskeleton and it tastes awful. Find better ways to serve them and people will be more inclined to try them.

the best way to serve insects is probably ground up, since they aren't very filling all on their own, although i have had unground cricket and i actually liked it, tho it had no real taste it was just spiced really well

A large part of it was also the inability to keep it alive & fresh due to the lack of refrigeration and fast transport.
