I think you're high if you think 'most people' wouldn't think twice about eating a deep-fried soft-shell crab poboy.

I thought soft shell crab was a pretty commonly accepted & eaten thing, milo xp

i mean idk, crustaceans have substantial meat tho

J0rdan S., Sunday, 4 April 2010 03:00 (fourteen years ago) link

grubs are one big thing of meat iirc

crabs don't have substantial meat :\ they are a pain to eat unless it's softshell

crustaceans are just insects of the sea imo

maybe, but the imitation crab i get at publix looks nothing like the bug holocaust in those images.

Daniel, Esq., Sunday, 4 April 2010 03:09 (fourteen years ago) link

your imitation crab is just small fish ground to a pulp and then reconstituted with food glue & crab flavor into the shape of a stick

The cake with strawberries pierced with goth caterpillars crosses a certain line the insect sushi doesn't

In the foreground, escamoles, which are ant larvae. They're pretty popular in Mexico City; I've had them there several times and they're good, buttery, and work well in a taco with some salsa. In the background, gusanos, the kinds of worms in the bottom of mescal bottles, which are also common in Mexico City fried up and eaten in tacos. They're crispy; I eat them with salsa again so really it's a texture thing more than a great taste thing.

Here are chapulines, basically crickets, which are very common in Oaxaca but I've only had them in Mexico City. They taste kinda fishy and kinda grassy. The texture is the special thing, again, crunchy.

escamoles look just like soggy but smooth rice krispies

Why did you kick it off by posting "LAST WARNING"? Was that like "LAST WARNING we're almost out of these delicious delicious bugs!"
