NorrinRadd 0 #1 July 16, 2013 I and my GF are having fun trying bugs as food... chocolate covered ants, Hotlix scorpion suckers, dried grubs. So far only the ants have been actually good. Anyone else try any unusual food that they recommend and/or enjoyed?Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does not sound like fun to me. eta: Every time I discovered I had a bug in my mouth, I spit it out. lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yoink 321 #6 July 17, 2013 I've tried both honey roasted and chocolate covered grasshoppers. They're pretty good. Ants are ok. I'm usually OK with crunchy - it's mushy I have issues with. Every survival show I've ever seen insists that Witchetty grubs are great eating... [inline munchies.jpg] hells no. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BikerBabe 0 #7 July 17, 2013 carpenter ants taste like lemon drops. as long as you get rid of the heads first. and that's eating them raw. (survival training, yo) Not sure I could stomach a raw grub. Oh, and whenever they eat tarantulas on Survivor or whatnot, I have to leave the room. there is absolutely no way I could do that. I would gnaw off my own arm first.Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(survival training, yo) Not sure I could stomach a raw grub. Oh, and whenever they eat tarantulas on Survivor or whatnot, I have to leave the room. there is absolutely no way I could do that. I would gnaw off my own arm first. I would actually like to try tarantula. I have heard from many sources that roasted tarantula tastes a lot like crab. I saw a documentary where kids in the Venezuela rainforest would collect them and roast them over a fire like marshmellows. Most kids I know don't like to eat things that they think taste bad, let alone go out and collect it and roast it. Of course, I think I would prefer it cooked than raw... and the grubs I tried were dried out. They tasted like dry snot. I think I too will pass on raw grubs.Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah yes.. vitamin chocolate! Actually, it just sounded funny to me. Vitamin bug. Though, the two most important non-vitamin vitamins, in my opinion, are chocolate and vitamin beer.Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?
