I wanted to put a post in about surviving by eating insects.
They have ALOT of protein, and in a pinch....they could save your life.

Here is a link to http://www.food-insects.com/
and what you need to do to prepare them......... Can you please pass the catchup?

And if you have a weak stomach for eating bugs Here is a link to help get you prepared to chomp some http://www.mckandy.com/page/309

anyone that rides a motorcycle knows what bugs taste like! haha

Posted by: Coalbunny Apr 24 2004, 07:12 PM

Skeeters and gnats taste like pepper. And flies, well, kinda hard to describe. Mushy and gooey. Once in a hwile have to pick a fly wing out of my teeth. But hey, it's protein!

reminds me of a dream I had once. I drempt this big german cockroach with a moustache was standing on my chest with one of them weird german hats with a red feather in it, with a big mug of beer saying "Gudentag, herr Carl!" After that I swore no more Geno's Long Island Ice Teas for me! :P

Posted by: Mrs.CP Nov 4 2005, 06:56 AM
