Could You??

[ummmm]

Eat insects??

BBC news are talking about it because of the rising cost of meat.

Me....NO

[boxtops]

I would if I was desperate. If it's good enough for the cats....

I seem to remember that at one time you could buy chocolate covered ants, wonder if they are still sold.

When I was in the army in Egypt I loved the taste of porridge and I asked the cook why it tasted different from in the UK. He said " Ah that's the weevils and he showed me the big drum containing the porridge oats and it was swarming with weevils. " You could say it was a protein supplement.
It didn't change my eating habits and I have recently enjoyed chocolate ants. Rather nutty !

Well, you always get a leg with a centipede.
Mmm bluebottle loaf with mashed ladybird filling. Earwig sauce anyone ?

Chinese eat a variety of insects, and worms and snakes.

The sago palm produces a type of worm which has the most protein.

Forget to answer the question. No, and never would.

[ummmm]

I don't think I ever could either.

I can't even eat toast from bread that has gone slightly stale!

[RATTER15]

Take a flick through this, gross!!

I would eat them cooked but not the big fleshy raw ones!!
