Absolutely disgusting. Traditional foods for me.

You flour already has bugs in it, FYI. There's an acceptable amount of insect parts in all mass manufactured foods.

Yeah and I regularly eat traces of e coli, what's your point?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

My point is that your flour already has bug parts in it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

the ideas that:

no one should have to eat bugs if they don't want to

and

people who want to eat bugs should be able to get bugs easily

aren't mutually exclusive.

Flour basically has insects in it too anyway (which is why supermarkets need to rotate flour every few months on the shelves, despite it being long life). I've tried cricket chips, mealworms and such before, and honestly, you don't even notice.. It's really just crunch

Yall are excited for this but I'll stick to wheat flour, thanks.

Everyone here saying how awful this sounds, and I'm just sitting here excited to try a new food. I ate mealworms before and they were pretty good, so why not?

It's certainly not what I'm used to but it's definitely less weird than some common foods we typically eat like cheese (which I fucking love, but if you think about it its weird as shit!)

Cheese = yummy bacteria poop.

Ever tried chocolate-covered ants? They're lovely!

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

Ants with chilli powder is also yum

I haven't but it sounds like a winning combination

โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ๐Ÿฆ— Will ask my Italian mum, if we maybe could have some cricket lasagne. Jammi-jammi.

Maybe some butterfly Farfalle first?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 9 months ago

It's all fine as long as it doesn't look like a cricket.

How many insect parts are allowed per kg of flour? ๐Ÿค”

i saw a packet of heinz ketchup that said 148g of tomato per 100g. I guess they evaporate the liquid but I had a good laugh.
