So, I've been reading a lot today about eating insects.

Some of these sites are fascinating, and (almost) have me convinced.

I say almost because, of course, societal conditioning is really, really, really hard to overcome here!

I'm tempted to suggest something to the SICM to go with their Bugs exhibit. Oh, I get so tired of people who go in there with their kids and then talk loudly about how "gross" the whole room is. Here's an idea! If you're terrified of bugs, steer your child somewhere else!

Shelling might work on relatively big ones, but not the ones I have had, they were much to small.

I think I liked the chocolate covered ants the best of what I have tasted. The spiced dried mealworms on the other hand were just brittle and overly spiced.

Well, chocolate makes everything taste better.

Shrimp, though.
