I'd try this.

Apparently I am fine with insects being involved in the production of my food, and heck I've eaten a cricket, but I'm not eating live bugs.

Not on purpose, anyway.

I was 19 at a party and saw a cricket in the house so i grabbed it and noone thought i caught it and put it in my mouth so i tried to show them and and tried jumping out. I bit down and ripped the front off which someone else ate and so we split a live cricket. I'm sure i've been served more comprimised poo poo in my life and I grew up eating everything put in front of me. a cricket isn't that bad, live or not. I'd be weird bout the cheese with larva crawling around tho, but my cheese love would win and i'd prob be chomping as much as I could buy.

I correctly predicted that they've got Szechuan peppercorn in them for a tingly sensation.

Apparently there's this cocktail at a Star Wars restaurant at Disneyland called the Fuzzy Tauntaun that has "buzzz foam" which is made from

quote:

This is Buzz Button Tingling Foam and it creates a sensation of overall heat (spiciness), some tingling, and, lastly, a slight numbing effect. Some, like us, enjoy this sensation. Others will be asking a Cast Member for a straw so they can avoid the foam altogether while still enjoying the beverage.

The foam's tingling and numbing sensation is courtesy of a tiny, Szechuan flower called the buzz button (acmella oleracea). Now this isn't something you can find in the produce section of your local grocery store, so we had to order these little flowers on Amazon from Natural Nomad Farms, a boutique farm located in Florida.

Most ants are very tasty and too tiny to hold enough pesticide to harm you unless you spend all day catching and eating them.

I feel food review shows that have people taking things apart and trying tiny bites miss the overall flavour that can be achieved on something. Like Gordon will open burger and dig it apart to take the tiniest bite of the burger rather than taking a bite that includes all the parts. Not to question the ratings of the food(I know I will eat some greasy trash), but a big messy burg should be experienced as a big messy bite, that's why people prob keep going into the places. A $6 dinner burger isn't supposed to be the best thing, it just needs to be something hot to eat on lunch break with coffee or beer.

Now some diner food that makes me sad

As a human of civilization, I don't trust foods that don't get processed somehow. Sure before civilization we ate everything raw, but then back in those days we could poop anywhere so it wasn't a big deal to get food poisoning. And then dying when there wasn't fresh food around was just the way of the world along with getting parasites.

there's a bar in Denver which has a shot where you chew on a little flower that like stings a little bit and numbs your mouth then you down the shot and you don't really taste it. it's weird and uncomfortable. I didn't really like it but some of my friends did. it must be these same flowers.

they also have pickle shots that are :kiss:

I'll leave the beef hill anytime I see a deer. Duck is really good, I prefer it to turkey and I'd eat lamb over pork all day.

I used to take a double shotglass and pour half jalapeno juice and half everclear. It was like 40sum% and basically when down like biting a pepper, never take a bunch though kuz that hosed my gut right up. Pickle is way underrated in drinking from what I've seen. I ordered vodka and pickle juice once and saw the funniest exchange when the temp bartender(place I worked for rented a bar/restaurant for the night for xmas party) ask a regular where to find pickle juice and the reply was "In the pickle jar" which almost made drunk me fall off my stool laughing.

Venison can be really good. Weirdly, the best I've had was actually free reclaimed roadkill since I grew up in a state that allows you to sign up on a waiting list to grab a roadkilled deer if it's fresh and clean enough, without going through the whole hunting process.

That's cool as gently caress, everyone here just smokes a deer then throws it in the truck or calls someone with a truck. Might as well eat it if it's gonna bust out a headlight. I partially grew up on a rez and barely anyone bothered buying meat when ya can pop out to the side of town and shoot something whenever. So I grew up eating venison everything. Never had moose or elk, but I'd assume they make a lot of good stew.

i haven't had deer cooked well but it makes a good loving sausage. 50/50 mix with pork because it's so lean.

nobody in my immediate family hunts, but various uncles and in-laws and stuff kick us enough venison to make a batch every year or two.
