Would you eat bugs?

Bugs are healthy critters

Crabs ands lobsters are technically bugs so i bet most of you have eaten bugs in the past.

While most arthropods are considered bugs, crustaceans are almost never lumped in with the rest of their phylum in this fashion kthx

And your point is....?

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

The average person sees them as different, and thus wouldn't eat bugs.

 

[Dachs]

And your point is....?

That you're wrong.

I've refused the opportunity to eat prepared bugs in the past, but if I were in some type of trouble, I'd eat bugs quite happily.

In fact, I frequently carry flesh-eating beetles in statis whenever I fly over the Andes with my soccor team, because eating my fellow teammates would creep me out. My plan is to just eat the beetles.

 

[Ayatollah So]

I have eaten a witchetty grub.

Looks yummy!

 

[JonathanStrange]

I've got a fricassee of lizard recipe that practically requires bugs as seasoning.

I'm wrong? So are Crustaceans amphibians then?

 

[CaptainF]

Hell yes I would...Caterpillars seem tasty as hell.

There should be an option for those who would only eat insects that are Kosher. (Of course, no one is really sure how to identify the specific varieties of locusts/grasshoppers that are clean, so many Rabbis would say to treat them as if they are all unclean.)


I'm a pretty picky eater, and don't like the texture shrimp or any other arthropods I have tried, so I wouldn't eat bugs unless I was starving.

Simple question: Are you Jewish and therefore care about the kosherness of the bug you'd eat?
And I know for sure that some Sephardi communities actually eat a kosher locust once in a while.

No. In English parlance, 'bug' refers to most arthropods, but crustaceans usually aren't called bugs. That's all there is to it.

They're arthropods.

A bug is an insect of the order Hemiptera, although it is often used to refer to most arthropods (though I've never heard a crustacean called a bug before).

Had a fried cricket once as a kid. We had a some kind of weird fair day at school and a teacher who had spent some anthro-study time in Australia cooked us a bunch of salted, fried cricket. Was actually pretty tasty.

 

[Squarg]

Totally ate a scorpion on a stick in china. Actually quite good, crunchy and salty.

 

[Mise]

I would eat a bug, but I would call it an insect.

 

[Perfection]

If you be vewy qwiet, I just might!

Bugs are a good source of protein. I don't go out of my way to eat them but if one flies in my mouth he's a goner. If one is trying to eat my fruit at the same time as me, he's a goner.

I would try to avoid any bugs in urban areas as they'd be highly toxic.
