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!

Horse can be delicious, but you need to know how to cook it, same goes for fresh whale (any canned meat sounds revolting).

I was quite disappointed by rabbit though, I would liken it to a bland chicken, only with a mammalian texture and lacking the quite good skin of a bird.

I wouldn't fancy dog though, meat eating animals don't sound appetising. Not that it's any better to be eating other animals high in the food chain (tuna for example), but fish eating animals are somehow less off-putting.
