It certainly is very gross. :P But there are other gross food-related threads here, so I figured this'd probably be in good company haha. :laugh: Should I delete the yucky food pic and just leave the funny pic of the woman attempting to eat the food? What should I do? ???

I can't stop looking at it for some strange reason.

;D ;D ;D There is a programme on the food network with Andrew Zimmerman, think that is his name.He travels the world eating the most gross "food" items imaginable.
When my husband was on tour in HongKong playing hockey, they asked to be taken to a really authentic restaurant.There they were served deep fried worms, and some things so gross I will not mention them.He was also treated to some equally, to our palate revolting food items in Saudi.He had no option but to eat them there, as it is really offensive to the host to refuse!!!
In England there is an insect food club where people meet once a month to consume meals consisting entirely of insects, including chocolate dipped, locusts.YUM YUM I can feel my mouth watering as I write, NOT !!!!
Kerry:
Personally, I can't imagine why anyone in their right mind would even consider eating insects. Yetch. :P
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? ???
optom3:
Speaking for myself,the only time I would eat bugs, would be if I was abandoned in the middle of nowhere,with absoloutely nothing else to eat and I do mean nothing.I would rather bash a snake and eat that than insects.
I really would have to be on deaths door and desparate though.
