They dig them out of tree bark and swallow them down while they're still alive and wriggling. :o They're quite huge and disgusting in appearance. :P They must taste yummy, though, because there seems to be a lot of smiles all round, from the diners. ;D Personally, if I was starving in the wilderness, I'm inclined to think I'd prefer to go looking for some wild berries, in preference to giving serious thought to pilfering the contents of a spider's web. Barf! :P

Those grubs are soo gross I had to turn away from the T.V when the poor celeb ate them.You are quite right they eat them alive !!!! They look like giant mutated maggots.Quite frankly, if it was those or death,I think I would probably just turn my toes up.!!!! I hope to goodness it is not a situation I am ever faced with.

Even if all meat - beef, lamb, pork - were to be banned tomorrow, I would happily eat fruit, vegetables, berries, nuts, grains, bread, rice, pasta, etc., rather than consuming insects.
Had I visited that food fair in Richmond, Virginia, my cynical, skeptical, suspicious mind would have immediately suspected the bug chefs were having a little joke at their clients' expense. I would have been looking around for the candid cameras and insisted on seeing THEM eat some of their own concoctions before considering trying any of it myself. And even then, I still wouldn't try it. :( I'm just not an adventurous eater, I guess. ::)
I figured most everyone would have the same reaction as me, but I was curious to find out if there was anyone here who would actually seriously consider eating bugs and if so, why? Anyone? ???
