Have you ever knowingly ate an insect?

I was draining a beer there when I noticed a fly either dead or pished in the last gulp.

I was committed to finishing it so I just ate the *.

Apart from the hovering on * aspect, insects are supposed to be a good source of protein right?

I actually feel a bit stronger.

 

You are the physical manifestation of that joke "An Englishman, an Irishman, and a Scot walk into a bar..."

 

:smiley-laughing002: Brilliant.

Did you eat it in one go or did you do it buffet style, one leg at a time?

 

Oh to be a fly on the wall for that joke...

 

Yes.

Ate a cricket once that belonged to the guy who slapped Dida.

 

There is probably no one else I would believe that happened to.

I'm inclined to believe you though Paddy.

 

It's true mate :smiley-laughing002::smiley-laughing002:

I was stood at the bar half-jaked on a Saturday afternoon and he came in with a box of them he bought from the barras to feed his pet snake.

Asked if I could have a look inside, so I just picked one out and dipped it in ma pint and started crunching away at the wee *.

One of it's legs was stuck in ma teeth.

Still nice though

I've also eaten shedded snake skin for a bet.

 

Aye. I was on a survival course and ate insects on it, mainly crickets. Had to pull the legs off, then the head, then pull it's guts out, cook the flesh with a lighter then eat it. Tasted a bit like popcorn.

 

That's how poofs eat crickets :bbpd:

 

Cooking insects removes all the nutrients, you are just eating insects for no other reason than you are eating horrible bugs.

I would be looking for a refund Minty, you would die in the wilderness eating cooked crickets, they sold you a pup mate.

 

years ago while camping and fishing I was in charge of the breakfast and while making a big omelette for the 4 of us I noticed a big swarm of midges getting closer and closer to the frying pan. hadn't a clue what to do but they somehow managed to fly into the thing and got cooked. nice yellow omelette with dark specks, told the guys it was pepper, as you can imagine I just had some toast for breakfast and let the guys enjoy the omelette.

 

Not visited China yet so no

 

Minty could load up on vegetables and cooked insects while I quaff cider with fresh flies and only one of us is seeing the morning.

 

Bear grills

 

We have insects in the west too.

You've probably consumed more insects than a Chinese person.

 

Fly *.....

 

Tbh, I thought it was a bit unnecessary but I was just doing what the instructor said.

I know they're arachnids, but I'd quite like to try tarantula.

 

Pretty sure I've eaten (not willingly) several bugs when I'm outside and I'm chewing gum. Not sure what it is the second my mouths open they seem to go on a kamikaze mission.

 

My mum brought back them salt & vinegar flavoured crickets from America, had a couple of them. Salty as *.
