 Grilled grasshoppers I had the other day in China. Were quite good. Surprisingly my 8 year old son wanted to try them and he loved them so much he asked us to order more. Hedenius fucked around with this message at 14:37 on Aug 4, 2023 |

Crickets/grasshoppers/locusts are pretty tasty, spiders too, but the spiders I had are not sustainable and getting wiped out, whereas the other stuff can essentially be farmed.

My niece made chocolate chip cookies out of "cricket flour" the other day. Called them Chocolate Chirp Cookies. My son calls them Chirpies. Everyone loves the loving bug cookies. I'm trying to be cool.

Also recommend never drinking from non-disposable cups from street vendors. Very common to get tea/coffee served that way, and that stuff is washed the same way.

No big deal, that looks like a good thorough rinse with non-puddle water there at the end.

Puddle water is the secret ingredient.

It's because you get neat little claws to play around with after you're done eating. Bugs? The taste is its own reward, I guess

I'm sure there are gross ones out there but if you can get past that first bite you'll enjoy yourself. Cicadas, grasshoppers, and crickets are all good starting points.

I hate those goddamn shells getting stuck in your teeth. Novelty is fun but after that eh. I wish I tried scorpions, but little chance I’ll have somebody lose pay for a mainland China trip again, so it’s probably not gonna happen. If you’re in areas where that’s popular (guangdon mostly, at least when I was traveling) IMO Drunken Shrimp is both another novelty and tastes a lot better.

If grasshoppers grew big enough to cut open and carve out the meat, that would be a lot more palatable to me. I do not want to crunch down on wings and legs and all that poo poo. Even shrimp get peeled first.

Even shrimp get peeled first. I think bugs are good but this is a valid argument for people who don't like them. It's a fundamentally different experience to just pop the whole animal in your mouth versus cracking open the shell and pulling out the muscle in the tail or claws. I like them both but with the exception of the big tarantulas they eat in places like Cambodia there aren't any land arthropods that fulfill the same culinary role as most crabs, shrimp, lobsters, or crayfish.

The problem isn’t the idea of the whole animal in concept — look how many pages the sardine thread has — it’s the texture of the grasshopper or cricket imo. Lot more people in the US and western Europe eat escargot, which is also a whole bug(?) but a totally different texture.

They could be like lobster sized. Chicken sized at most. Surely nothing could go wrong with chicken sized grasshoppers. I foresee no negative consequences to this whatsoever.
