I have not had any peanutbutter lately. The store ran out of my favourite brand, I am nearly ready to make me a midnight snack of peanutbutter sandwich now I have it again.

I once had a pack of flour in which the permitted insects had gone breeding. I did throw it out.
And eating little flies when riding my bike like I did this morning, no thank you. But a few cooked ones in my peanut butter, no problem.

By the way, do you know who is the happy motorbike rider?

Eating insects is TOO disgusting for me. Undecided

I dare not even touch a big cicada,big beetle,big moth,dragonfly,etc. Grin

How can one eat maggots ? They are so dirty.

actually im pretty sure you would rather enjoy a mealworm or moth.

grasshoppers you cant really eat uncooked and thier better for make flour and taste "funny" straight

In asia eating insects is more common.  One of my favourite dish is insect.  I don't know what it is called in English, it is of the transforming worm that has wraped itself in silk to trun into a butterfly.  The half transformed butterfly is fried. Delicious!

How to prepare the insects for the table would be nice. I would like to know how to cook insects right. I know that you could eat them rare or burnt, but done right would be cool.

a great starter for eating is grasshoppers baked you then can dip them in honey. I myself dont like grasshoppers too much becuase they lack a definite taste but it will warm you up to eating bigger and better things, and just get you used to eating odd things if honey is not for you you could try ranch. also let them set in a jar for 24 hours so thier systems can purge dont eat them raw be cause they host parasites. put them in the freezer for a bout 20 min this will slow em down. then take me out cut off the heads (no nutrional value) and legs if you like and your ready to bake

I eat insects.  It's not a big deal.  It's just more food.  I find people are equally revolted by wild roots as insects - "how can you eat that, you just dug it out of the ground!", and so on.  I wouldn't eat regular maggots, fly larvae, because they are just awful.  But Silkworm larvae (as tint suggests) are a delicious speciality of China and Korea.  Fried they are best, and with a variety of dipping sauces, or even just honey.
