Random wonderings

[kimberkit]

I've always wanted to try tasting those crunchy bugs they show you in movies. Would they taste like delicious crunchy noodles? Would they be faintly nutty, and good with chocolate? Or would they be tasteless, like boiled chicken with a crack to it?

I wonder sometimes whether they would be better tasting if I were some other creature. Like a frog.

I wonder about bugs because I'm pretty sure that I just ate a small ant that had crawled into our salt shaker... and it tasted like salt.

There is a movement of people who promote insect consumption in countries where such is not part of the culture. Apparently insect-farming is very environmentally friendly: it makes efficient use of resources consumed, it obviously doesn't require pesticides, things like that.

I'll try to find the article that I read...
