Klingons and Ferengi eat a mostly insect based diet. We hu mans could learn a thing or two
she looks comfortably hungry. i lik that.
I think they meant arthropod. Anthropod means “human leg.”
Yea and they’re delicious when they come from the sea
You’re right, but finding human legs in the sea is quite rare.
Shrimps is bugs?
Nooo. After further research, bugs is shrimps.
Sauce?
Marinara, please!
With horseradish!
Grasshoppers and locusts have a nice earthy taste, similar to shrimp but also not exactly the same. They lack the slightly fishy taste that shrimp has.
Yeah, Humans. Stop being such hypocrites. Arthropods from the sea and ones from land are both delicious when prepared right, and a great source of protein, you should give them a try. I know there are some people who aren’t hypocritical and do enjoy both but many are.
The logic of eating bugs is undeniable, but so is the revulsion. I need it in a form where I can tell myself it’s just anonymous protein. If we can turn a blind eye to what goes on in factory farms and slaughterhouses, we should be able to not look at where our bugburgers come from as well.
based and “protein flour” pilled
but also here’s the thing: there’s no fucking need to have that protein flour come from insects, legumes exist! We already have about as good of an alternative protein source as we’re ever going to get, Textured Vegetable Protein is an amazing substance.
I mean, humans do eat the land ones tho, they’re just not so popular with the cultures most represented here.
This isn’t universal “human” but very culturally different
“Anthropod?”
CRAB PEOPLE
I find both repulsive.
You’d have to give it the ol’ Jamie Oliver treatment. De-everything it, until it’s just meat, then blend it up, coat it with breadcrumbs, and serve it as chicken* nuggets.
Probably the only way I’d ever eat bugs.
It’s a texture thing for me. Prawns and crab etc have a texture that makes me want to puke. I have tried many times in the past to learn to be okay with different types of shellfish and I have failed everytime. Even ordered scallops on a fancy restaurant once and they tasted really nice, but the texture made my skin crawl.
I’m sure landbugs would be the same for me. Nice tastes, repulsive texture.
i actually find shrimp to be quite tolerable, but it’s just something about the slight… ocean-y flavour and knowing it’s a crustacean that wins out after a few bites and i have to stop before i start retching…
“I just don’t like sea bugs.” Is legitimately one of my defenses when people rib me about not liking lobster etc.
and mine for beef is “I just don’t like leg whales”
Sizewise, more like land dolphins.
if only there was some sort of sea creature named after cows in many languages…
I thought about it but “land sea cows” sounded stupid. And they already have legs, of a sort. I guess you’re right though, “land manatees” it is.
Poor things are endangered, they’d become a lot more numerous if they were raised for food, but their lives would be worse.
Lobster used to be considered barely edible cockroaches of the sea: https://enviroliteracy.org/did-lobster-used-to-be-poor-people-food/
Eating bugs does give me a bit of an “ick”, but I’m sure I could get over that with enough processing or experience.
Or starvation. That’s a great motivator
I enjoy how the left side is labeled as “humans” twice, just in case you weren’t quite sure what specimen that is.
I stick to plants. But, both sea plants and land plants!
you forgot fungi! how could you?!
It’s true, I repent! I love a tasty fungi and am addicted to nooch.
Just need to get them land bugs into a gym so they can get some decent chunk of meat in them.
I would like to not live on the planet with all-natural swole radscorpions please
Irradiated and steroid enhanced it is then, gotcha.
Have you never seen a goliath bird eating spider?
Only the outside, far as I imagine they’re just full of goo and bird beaks.
Are these food ?? Really ???
Yes, to both.
