Seabugs rule

90 comments

I think they meant arthropod. Anthropod means "human leg."
- Yea and they're delicious when they come from the sea
  
  You're right, but finding human legs in the sea is quite rare.

Arthropod

"I just don't like sea bugs." Is legitimately one of my defenses when people rib me about not liking lobster etc.
- Lobster is so overrated in my opinion.
  Now crab...
  
  Lobster is just a butter delivery system.
  
  Lobster is so overrated in my opinion.
  Come to Italy and try some Spaghetti all'Astice. You'll change your mind.
  
  Some folks have never been to a proper crawfish boil either and it shows
  
  I’m the same way. Lobster makes me physically sick to my stomach for some reason (even though I don’t hate the taste), but crab is delicious.
- and mine for beef is "I just don't like leg whales"
  
  Sizewise, more like land dolphins.

I mean, humans do eat the land ones tho, they're just not so popular with the cultures most represented here.

"Anthropod?"
- CRAB PEOPLE

This isn't universal "human" but very culturally different
- I beleive Australian Aboriginal People have what they call ~~Bush Grub~~ Bush Tucker

Shrimps is bugs?
Nooo. After further research, bugs is shrimps.
- Sauce?
  
  Marinara, please!

I enjoy how the left side is labeled as "humans" twice, just in case you weren't quite sure what specimen that is.

Just need to get them land bugs into a gym so they can get some decent chunk of meat in them.
- I would like to not live on the planet with all-natural swole radscorpions please
  
  Irradiated and steroid enhanced it is then, gotcha.
- Have you never seen a goliath bird eating spider?
  
  Only the outside, far as I imagine they're just full of goo and bird beaks.

man if scorps was even just on par, hell even close, with the taste of ol' lobby boys we'd have mass factory farms gen-breeding them sting bugs as large as like Merican farm turkeys vs wild turkeys
- ~~Good news! Oxygen levels will go up, so scorpions will get big again.~~
  Bad news.
  
  Why will oxygen levels go up? If anything, I'd think more oxygen being tied up in CO2 would cause O2 levels to go down.

Sea bugs come pre-seasoned

Grasshoppers and locusts have a nice earthy taste, similar to shrimp but also not exactly the same. They lack the slightly fishy taste that shrimp has.
Yeah, Humans. Stop being such hypocrites. Arthropods from the sea and ones from land are both delicious when prepared right, and a great source of protein, you should give them a try. I know there are some people who aren't hypocritical and do enjoy both but many are.
- The logic of eating bugs is undeniable, but so is the revulsion. I need it in a form where I can tell myself it's just anonymous protein. If we can turn a blind eye to what goes on in factory farms and slaughterhouses, we should be able to not look at where our bugburgers come from as well.
  
  based and "protein flour" pilled
  but also here's the thing: there's no fucking need to have that protein flour come from insects, legumes exist! We already have about as good of an alternative protein source as we're ever going to get, Textured Vegetable Protein is an amazing substance.

Well the ones from the sea come pre-seasoned

Lobster used to be considered barely edible cockroaches of the sea: https://enviroliteracy.org/did-lobster-used-to-be-poor-people-food/
Eating bugs does give me a bit of an "ick", but I'm sure I could get over that with enough processing or experience.
- Or starvation. That's a great motivator

I find both repulsive.
- You'd have to give it the ol' Jamie Oliver treatment. De-everything it, until it's just meat, then blend it up, coat it with breadcrumbs, and serve it as chicken* nuggets.
  Probably the only way I'd ever eat bugs.
  
  It's a texture thing for me. Prawns and crab etc have a texture that makes me want to puke. I have tried many times in the past to learn to be okay with different types of shellfish and I have failed everytime. Even ordered scallops on a fancy restaurant once and they tasted really nice, but the texture made my skin crawl.
  I'm sure landbugs would be the same for me. Nice tastes, repulsive texture.

Automatic downvote for atrocious spelling.
This shit made the front page of r/all; can we demonstrate that Lemmy has higher standards?
- If you can tell what they meant, it's good enough. Spelling is made up anyway
  
  It literally means something else. Yes symbols are made up, but the concepts they exist to convey are very much real and we have certain expectations when using them. Have higher standards, holy fuck.
  
  "anthropods" means "human legs" i think...
- SEND THIS USER TO THE BOILING POT AND SERVE THEM WITH GARLIC BUTTER

I stick to plants. But, both sea plants and land plants!
- you forgot fungi! how could you?!
  
  It's true, I repent! I love a tasty fungi and am addicted to nooch.

I ate a scorpion one time but lobsters lots of times.

Go on! Eat the bugs!

To be fair, I'm not huge on lobster, shrimp and crab myself so... I guess I'm consistent 👍

No one told me scorpion taste like lobster, now I’m curious
- Living in sea water drastically changes taste, as seen in salt water fish vs. fresh water fish.
- Large spiders too

My people can make anything that can taste good, taste good. If roaches could be spiced to taste delicious, we would have done it and I would have no problems eating them.🦞👈🏽🪳✋🏽
- They can be, and indeed are in some places.
  
  You can easily find roasted scorpions and roaches on a stick around China

Are these food ?? Really ?????
- Yes, to both.

Cremling soup is gonna go hard

This is true though, I see no issue.

“Protien from the sea!”

}:

she looks comfortably hungry. i lik that.

Klingons and Ferengi eat a mostly insect based diet. We hu mans could learn a thing or two
