        Jennifer:
        I saw a programme filmed in Cambodia. The villagers collect red ants n use these in every kind of dishes they eat. Only 1 taste in all different dishes - sour. So boring.


        I rather eat only vegs than to eat bugs.
        Bugs are high in protein, so they are more a meat replacement than a veg replacement. I think I wouldn't mind eating bugs if they are 'disguised' initially - I'm not sure I can cope with the whole creature! Maybe after a while, I'll get used to the idea.

          But I guess for countries where the people, esp the children suffer from malnutrition, insects are really highly nutritous. And they can survive in all sorts of weather conditions, which makes them easy to breed in large numbers.

          At the rate we are destroying the Earth, maybe our grandchildren would have to start eating insects because the earth would be too hot for other animals to survive in big numbers :sad:

            Was about to respond to buds saying she is not that adventurous with food. Wanted to say that I am game to try most things at least once except for bugs and dogs/cats. Then I saw this.

                  In the future, never complain about the bug you found in the food served to you or the restaurant may charge you extra for the 'topping' šŸ˜‰

                        Bugs bred for eating should be in cleaner environments - who knows where the restaurant bugs have been?
