And honestly, I found most of the food quite appealing. There were a
couple that carry too much cultural baggage, but they were visually
appealing. Andrew Zimmer I ain't, closer to Tony Bourdain. ;-)

I'd not say most of it, but some of it looked tasty. Frankly I think
deep fried star fish would be a bit "crunchy" and I'll pass on ALL the
insects except for waterbugs (crawfish and that ilk). I've even had
urchin roe, fresh raw on the beach when we lived in California.



It's finally getting hot enough here to set off the cicada chorus during
mid-day.

Are you serious? It is still effing too cool here. Zirrie bugs don't
often startup here until late july and don't midday sing until Aug,
usually.

I heard them start up about 2 days ago. We are well into the 90's here
right now most days.


My sons told me that if I were to fry them and eat them myself, they
will be forced to follow suit. same for a couple other bugs.

I'll pass. g


Yes, we are kinda nuts, as viewed from the "normal" cultural
perspective. ;-)

BTW, fried buzzworm is good eatin'. Been there, done that
several times. ;-) My long gone uncle in Wash. state turned me on to
that.

Whatever floats your palette babe! :-)
