Would You Eat This Grasshopper Snack?

January 17, 2008

The blogger behind Dish a Day actually chased down a mobile snack shack in order to get this grasshopper snack. And according the folks at Treehugger.com, only 20 percent of the folks on the planet don't eat insects. Having said that, I want to know: Would you eat these grasshoppers? Being part of the I'll try anything once club — not to mention I've already tried a scorpion — I think I'd have to say yes. How about you?

Try Chinese way, dumplings......you will never see it, and then love it. Anyway, it is very high price dish in Chinese, so if some one ask you to eat it for free, why not?

Sure, why not. They're high in protein and chock full of vitamins... Plus they're supposed to taste like bacon... mmmmmm.... bacon covered grasshopper bits... mmmm bacon covered bacon bits....*drool*

I would totally eat these. Americans have no idea how many bugs they eat on a daily basis, if you read the FDA Defect action level handbook, which gives the amount of "extra" bits aloud in our foods you will see terms such as Rodent Filth, Insect Fragments, Mold, Rodent Hairs, beetle eggs or sacs, mammalian excreta , rot, maggots...... mmmm yummy
