In your opinion, should bugs and insects be a staple in modern cuisines?

>> No.19993520

because theyre yucky

>> No.19993521

Yes. Not because of any sustainability or culture shit reasons, but because I know most people are extremely squeamish about eating them while I don't give a shit, and watching the people around me struggle to eat insects will make me kek most heartily.

Oh I think you misunderstood me, I already don't mind eating bugs myself. I just think the image of people struggling to eat them around me is very funny. I'm a classic troll, not a contrarian.

I don't want to force anyone to eat anything. I just think that I should have the option to buy and eat whatever I want. Bug powder? Sure.

Been living in Japan 5 years and have never seen insects for sale anywhere except beetles at pet shops, and maybe the Chinese "wet markets" in places like Ueno or some shit

Ate a grasshopper taco once and it was okay. I don't think I would eat them because there are much better things

>> No.19994584

No, because I don't believe anyone cares enough to actually define modern cuisine. I assume you mean modern American cuisine, which is essentially just "what sells well", with all the trendiness that implies. Cuisine just means 'style of cooking' anyway, and the modern American style of cooking is generally to not cook, or cook what is trendy. Even if you were to declare bugs (or anything) as a 'staple' of modern american cuisine, it'll become trendy to shit on it in 3 months tops

Chuds be seething and pissing over some unorthodox (for them) food. I bet yall are picky eaters too. Pathetic.
>>19993522
>>19993520
I mean fried bugs are just crunchy and without much flavor. If you've ever eaten sunflower seeds, it's basically the same thing.
>>19994570
Basically this. Nothing amazingly groundbreaking about bug based food's flavour, and in the western world can be quite expensive.
>>19994584
>modern American cuisine, which is essentially just "what sells well", with all the trendiness that implies.
You also forgot the economic factor. As soon as it'll become cheaper to mass produce burgers from soybeans/bugs/whatever other than meat, you can bet the American cuisine will switch to it. Maybe it's already in the process of doing so with McDonald's and BK's vegetarian burgers and alike.
Though it's also possible that meat producers will stifle any progress in that regard and murica will be primarily meat eating nation up until the end.

Only if they're unironically tasty like the ones in Lion King; slimy but satisfying I can get behind, crunchy flaky nonsense isn't for me

Insects would have the most disgusting texture.
If you've ever eaten a shrimp head before you'll know what eating a bug will be like.

I saw a documentary about how some people in Africa make some paste with ground insects and vegetables, and the fact that it's so separate from how insects actually look makes me think I would eat it.

No. You can eat them yourself if you want them so much, Klaus.
