There's a lot of things that got expensive when word got out how good it was. Brisket used to be pretty cheap because you'd have to cook it forever to get it tender. Then Texas style smoked Brisket became popular nationwide and the price skyrocketed. Skirt steak was the same. Cheap, tough flavorful meat for the poors until fajitas exploded. Price skyrocketed. Oxtail used to be super cheap food for the poors until Jamaican oxtail became popular. Now it's up there. See also quinoa.

I was in my 20s when I learned that the “steak” we were fed sometimes growing up was actually liver. This is not cute information.

FishFood posted:Crickets/grasshoppers are pretty widely eaten and are supposed to be pretty good! I read a paper for a class about how the various native people of Utah ate them pretty extensively, and how a "plague" of locusts was a cause for celebration. Of note in the paper was the group of grad students who experimented with various cricket-based recipes and dubbed the Mormon Cricket the "Desert Lobster" for its culinary qualities. Oh poo poo they probably weren't kosher so for plagues and stuff you couldn't eat them. Neato

I'll be damned. That's cool. I guess they're too ephemeral a food source then and once all your easily stored grain's gone, you're gonna be hungry at some point

Milo and POTUS posted:Oh poo poo they probably weren't kosher so for plagues and stuff you couldn't eat them. Neato Well, for indigenous folks a plague of locusts was really good news because it was easy food in enormous quantities. You could just hold up a net and gather up your family or band's weekly food requirement in moments. The Mormon settlers thought this was barbaric, of course, and couldn't stomach the thought of eating a tasty desert lobster. So when a plague of the bouncy little guys threatened their crops shortly after they, uh, stole Salt Lake City from the people who already lived in the area, they freaked out and thought they were doomed. The seagulls that appeared and happily ate said crickets were then greeted as saviors sent by God himself and the California Gull is still ironically the state bird of Utah. What the settlers didn't know was that they were actually being really dumb, and that that plague of crickets represented the easiest calories they had ever encountered in their lives. They should have been chasing the seagulls off and gathering up the crickets, but alas. For thread content, have a baby cassowary at a bird show: https://youtube.com/shorts/kcFxeuRrnaQ?feature=share4

drrockso20 posted:Apparently Tarantulas can be pretty close when cooked properly, and yeah the main hindrance for land arthropods is that not many of them approach crab and lobster size or even shrimp size and even fewer of those that do have appreciable amounts of edible meat on them Large tarantulas really do taste quite similar to crab. There aren't really any land equivalents to shrimp or lobster mostly because the main part of shrimp and lobster that people eat is the tail, which is a big solid piece of muscle used for swimming and naturally land arthropods don't need a swimming organ. Plenty of insects and arachnids are edible and tasty, but it's really only the really big spiders that have enough muscle in their legs to be similar in taste to the commonly eaten crustaceans.
