I think the problem is we don’t have huge ol crickets that are lobster sized. Otherwise you’d have Red Locust and all you can eat grasshopper legs.
Unlimited soup, salad, and stickbugs.
Yeah it’s this. We don’t eat the shells/outsides of lobster (at least most probably don’t). I don’t want to eat exoskeleton.
Yeah, chitin is really hard to digest and sensitive stomachs will have issues.

take it back
Idk. There are some big fucking snails out there
Snails are good, too. Creamy and tender, reminded me of scallops.
They were doused in butter/garlic, so that may have been part of the reason, but still
Snails are used in some cuisines (France). I've had them. They're not bad.
Snails are an excuse for the French to down a stick of butter.
Yeah but they're molluscs.
The line of arthropods that broke off to become Insecta did so in the Devonian Period, roughly 400 million years ago. Centipedes evolved in the fucking Silurian. Comparing these two groups is kinda like comparing raccoons, possums, and platypuses to fish.
It's almost as absurd as comparing fish to fish
fish aren’t even real
You're a fish
Oh fuck
Ichthyophobia isn't cool. Take your hateful beliefs elsewhere.
Tell yourself what er you need to in order to enjoy that crawfish.
dont need to tell anything just need to eat it
I'll tell myself it's juicy and delicious
I don't eat cereal without milk, so why would I eat my bugs without saltwater.
Idk where this myth started from but shrimp and lobsters are crustaceans, a separate class of arthropods within the phylum arthropoda. arthropoda is a massive phylum and bugs belong to the class insecta. lobsters and shrimp belong to crustacea so calling shrimp bugs is like calling whales hippos because they're both from the clade artiodactyla /nerdmode off
One of the definitions of bug is "small arthropod with many legs"
Take your nerdmode into the shop, its database is defective.
Shrimps is bugs!
Fixing the bugs
one side takes regular baths.
lukewarm coffee: gross
hot coffee: great
it's almost as if different things are different
You mentioned the same thing, at different temperatures. It's literally the same THING.
A shrimp is not the same thing as a Megaloblatta Longipennis.
Thought you were just shitposting with that name...
Now I just wish you were.
i Don't eat cereal without bugs, why would i eat my Water without Them?
Shrimps are fuckin pointy
Shrimps are pretty rich
Are we suggesting that Scorpion would taste similar to lobster?
They’re different, scorpion isn’t as sweet as lobster meat.
I used to love shrimp but in the past few years I've started going off it, not sure why.
Non-alarmist answer: tastes can change over time for no real reason. Some mild reasons it could change is pallet fatigue, prep and cook time seeming not worth it and so you crave it less, and changes in overall perception. A person who is slowly becoming vegan for moral or health reasons will naturally stop wanting certain meat products.
Alarmist answer: I don't know man. You've probably got some weird cancer or something.
*palate fatigue
I work in wine importing so this is a mistake I make all the damn time.
pallet- thing used to strap stuff to so they can be put on containers (for container trucks and ships).
palate - roof of your mouth or an alternate word for your taste
Palette- painter’s thing for holding paint.
Increasingly alarmist answer: you’ve heard about eyestalk ablation and it’s subconsciously ruining your enjoyment of farmed shrimp
Im only down with eating clean bugs that are large enough to have enough substance to be worthwhile or whatever makes it into processed foods and “foods” that I eat (jelly beans arent really food and frequently have shellac and that comes from a specific beetle.)
Counterpoint: lobster is delicious
Why are you okay eating cow meat and not house cat meat?
House cats: overwhelming over weight so mostly fat. And not the type that pigs and cows are. Feral cats: riddled with diseases and malnourished.
Cows: mostly muscle and with a marbling of fat.
Why are you making assumptions about what I'm ok with?
I don't eat either of them
