Are you drunk?

That would explain a lot.

No just asking a question of a user that brags about living in Thailand where bugs are sold at the market

Insects are sold at some markets, but not all. Not everyone eats them.

That said, 30 years ago people didn't eat sushi, because it was "raw fish". Now everyone eats it.


You're pretty ignorant, @Brandenski. What's wrong with insects being sold in a market? Are you going to bitch about them being inhumanely killed or some other such stupid thing?

Godstud, nothing wrong with eating insects. They are fucking awesome for protein and really good in a diet. Only western mentality makes people think processed meat wedged into a burger is better than roasted insects. Because the science doesn't say that and neither does the nutritionalist.

Yeah @B0ycey , I've tried bugs but they simply aren't my cup o tea. If they were manufactured into burgers and called "protein", they'd probably be more palatable, but the texture is what I found most off-putting.

I ate something like a cicada and it tasted like beef with basil. My wife likes bugs, but my son doesn't(only ant eggs).


Insects are a superb source for protein and very Green, environmentally. Fools like Brandenski might laugh now, but there's bugs in all the manufactured meat you now eat.

This is off-topic, but the real topic is really dumb.

I am compulsive about trying things. I saw this drink in an Asian store once, bought it. It was supposed to be good for you, but you could tell just looking at it, it was vile. So I tried it. Do you remember when you were a kid and some medicine tasted so bad you were sure it would kill you (that may have been more true for my generation, Boomer).

This was worse.

I've eaten a lot of bugs, even had fried earthworms once. They were bland, almost no flavor. But I never felt the need to have seconds
