killamch89 Posted March 10, 2023 Share Posted March 10, 2023 Can't say I have and honestly, it doesn't appeal to me all that much. However for those of you that have tried it, do you really like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I can't say that I have ever eaten anything like this but I do know of people that have and they seemed to like it. I just can't get behind eating something such as an insect as part of a meal, just doesn't seem right to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debashis Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 No, because I have a strong aversion towards insects and find the idea of eating them unappetizing and unappealing. I can't even imagine having such a dish lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I've tried Escargot. If you can get past the fact that you're eating a snail, it's actually really good. I've also had haggis. It's awesome, but you have to have someone who knows exactly what the fuck they're doing to be the ones cooking it. It's hard to get it right, but if you can, it's mouth wateringly delicious. Ever since my gramma and sperm donor died (he was ranked the best cook in the state) I haven't had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not the best tasting, but they pack a shitload of protein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackangel Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 Here's a bunch of tips to keep roaches away or catch and kill the dirty little bastards if you see them. They're a hell of a lot cheaper than an exterminator. But considering that they're nocturnal, if you're seeing a large number of them during the day, it may be too late for any of these to work. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ REPELENTS- put all repellents around house bay leaves garlic cayenne powder lemon vinegar w/ peppermint oil meem oil soab solution (w/ borax) catnip (fresh leaves is best) (put in teabag or coffee filter) - Or plant around your house to make them say "Fuck this place" since they hate catnip to keep new ones out. You can also plant enough that you can use it for your cats (if you have any) or sell/give to other people who do have cats. Just don't give away too much, or get it all from the same place or you're screwed. Also you want to get rid of the roaches before you plant the catnip. It will keep new roaches from coming in, but will also keep the roaches you already have from running out! ********************************************************************************** ********************************************************************************** ********************************************************************************** ********************************************************************************** TRAPS- Baking Soda/Sugar smallest dish can find (can be lid to milk/juice/soda bottles, etc) put baking soda & sugar in in a 1/1 ratio then set equal size container of water near **************************************************** duct tape roughly 8-10 inches long (20-25cm) fold ends in on itself for easy pickup (roughly 1-2" or 4-6cm) put sugary peanut butter or cheese in middle do not use jelly or other sweet liquid (will dissolve adhesive) **************************************************** take pickle jar or jar similar size make sure completely clean and dry (may want to buy brand new and unused jar. walmart sells single jars in arts & crafts section) put bait in bottom like sugary peanut butter, cheese, or pan grease spread petroleum jelly all over entire inside of jar (especially around inside of mouth) Can also make it easier for them to get in by putting painters tape around jar. the petroleum jelly will make it too slippery for them to get out. **************************************************** take clean dry jar take small styrofoam or plastic cup fill cup w/ wet coffe grounds cup needs to be small enough to fit in jar, but strong enough to not be affected by water put cup in jar (duh) fill rest of jar w/ water stopping just below surface of bait cup Can put petroleum jelly on inside walls if desired, but not necessary since roaches are virtually incapable of swimming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 We all eat unconventional insects all the time like shrimp and lobster, which is nothing but orange sea roaches and giant sea roaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don't because I'm allergic to both and I don't think they even fall under the same classification of animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
