>pretty much every insect just tastes like dirt

Oh not at all. Grubs taste like beef bone marrow and are quite tasty. Fried agave worms taste like sunflower seeds and go great with beer. Diving beetles taste just like clams, and I do mean like 1:1. Fried grasshoppers taste like what I would imagine fried sardines taste like.

I had the grubs In Ecuador and everything else in Mexico. There's something wholesome in bringing a "professional female companion" with you (hookers but they stay with you for the duration of the trip, kind of like rent-a-girlfriend) and watching them giggle while you eat exotic foods...and then jokingly offer them some and when they say no you give them the "I was pretending to ask; fucking eat it" look.

I highly recommend just getting on a plane and visiting Mexico and below. It was waay funner than when I went to Europe, and you can do ANYTHING in those parts if you've got $$. I straight up paid cops to be my cab drivers and offer protection in some of the seedier parts. You run into A LOT of Americans, Brits, and Aussies too; like I was astounded by how many Englishmen I saw in Santiago Chile.

But I will say something about the bugs...it's just not something I'd eat back here in the states, and they weren't very filling at all. There's just something off...again, they left me craving the things they tasted like.

Yeah sometimes I bring them back with me too. I brought this one from El Salvador. I paid for her to get across and for a few years she cleaned my house for free and cooked while living with me. I found her a husband and solemnized their marriage via proxy (can you guess what I do for a living?) and last I checked she was living quite happily with a doctor that never knew she was a prostitute in her home country. See, it's all about working together towards a common goal so everyone's life improves. My only hobby is food and one would really be surprised the friendships and relationships that can be formed over a meal.

Oh yeah I never had sex with them. I just don't like eating alone and it's easier to draw a crowd of strangers and find out where all the best food spots are when you've got some arm candy. A lot of people think that prostitutes are these disgusting evil monsters, but a lot of them are either a victim of circumstances, trying to take care of their families, or they're being forced illegally. Human traffickers are surprisingly friendly and always willing to negotiate a release deal. Going through the police is the worst thing you could do since they work together anyway. It's not a bad deal. You educate them, train them to find work, and get a matchmaker to get them good husbands and then at their leisure they pay back all of my expenses with fair and reasonable interest. And that interest can come in the form of anything, like mostly it's just cooking and cleaning which saves me money and we can just work it that way. It's cool because they cook the way that they cook inside their homes so it's not all commercialized. I never liked Peruvian food until I had the homemade version of it, pic very much related.

They eat guinea pigs in Peru too an they're delicious. How do you people feel about eating rodents?

I did the same thing in Thailand actually. I enjoyed some bar girl's company down in Pattaya and decided to invite her along with me for a few days. I ended up attending her grandma's super traditional Buddhist funeral in the Sakon Nakhon villages two weeks later. I really need to get down to sudamérica though. I totally agree with your perspective too, they're no different than anyone else. Which country would you recommend for my first time? Peru's been calling out to me oddly enough.

Machu Picchu was literally the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. They do drive like lunatics over there and where there's crime there's CRIME...you really have to be careful with that last one, so I suggest contacting a reputable travel agent (yes they still exist, and some even specialize in Latin American countries). It's really easy to make friends over there but like literally no one speaks English, so if you speak Spanish you'll be at an advantage. Columbia is gorgeous and they're very friendly to tourists, kind of like Mexico. If you love beaches and that type of environment I can't recommend Costa Rica enough. Mexico alone though is like you could spend your whole life traveling through that country and you still won't see everything; it really is the most polarizing place on earth, and their seafood is the best I've ever had....I highly recommend a place called Don Vergas in Mexico City. Like look up the instagram page for Don Vergas and just look at what they've got. It's amazing.

Not the guy you responded to, but I stayed in Peru for about a month for a short study abroad program when I was 17, right before starting college. Lived in Cusco, didn’t do much at the time besides hike Machu Picchu + eat a lot of foods + learn Spanish. The roasted guinea pig (cuy, I believe in Spanish, or maybe that’s the Quechua name) is really good and juicy. Would recommend. Don’t visit Lima though, I’ve had Peruvians and non Peruvians tell me you’ll get scammed and robbed easily. I’d also recommend trying their cacao tea, it’s pretty good, and I’ve heard tale that it has benefits (though I’m not sure how true that is). There may also be some weird Asian/Peruvian fusion foods, as I believe there is a pretty significant Asian population there; though I can’t remember.

Sidenote, if you go to Machu Picchu, go with a group and do a 5 day hike there. It’s genuinely amazing and beautiful watching the terrain change throughout the hike + seeing the stars at night. You might throw up from the altitude though (my teacher, me, and 2 others were the only ones who didn’t throw up in our group of 15 people).

A Hercules Beetle! Despite their scary appearance they're actually quite friendly and don't bite or sting you with their horns. If you have sensitive skin their feet pinch really hard when you pick them up, but that's just because they like to maintain their balance. Some people keep them as pets or even build small "bug circuses" where they have them ride carousels and the like. Like a flea circus but with actual bugs. And yes some people eat the beetle itself.

If bugs had a pound of white rich meat in it I'd eat them too. I actually spearfish for these Fucks and they aren't bugs. The intelligence difference, the meat etc. Even when you remove the head entirely and toss it back for chum it's not as gross as killing a roach 5% of its size lol.

It's always available. You might not survive it, but it's available. Just depends on how much indignity you're willing to suffer in exchange for survival.

The idea that the majority of humanity will have to subsist on insects, algae, and s-o-y to save the planet (and save the more desirable foods for the elite) is a new idea. Even in pre-Revolutionary France or Civil War era USSR people didn't contemplate eating bugs to save the elites, they just killed the elites or died trying.

Eyup.
It's very strange, but basically, the larva builds a hard shell (chrysalis or cocoon) and then almost liquefies.
It then reorders itself in this strange soup and builds back as the final bug.
If I recall correctly, only the nervous system stays intact.

I would have no problems eating (lang) bugs if they were actually food.
But their proteins are not processable by human bodies.
Crustaceans on the other hand ("sea" bugs, which are not bugs, and may not came from sea (like crayfish)) offers real food, aka usable proteins for the human body.
They only share the same clade (Pancrustacea) or even phylum (Arthropod) if take scorpions in account when speaking of "land" bugs.
Simply put, they are not the same.

And the political agenda and false arguments makes me even more angry about forcing people to eat bugs.

So what's stopping most farms from farming fast-breeding bugs and adding them to fast-producing cornish cross or red broiler hens' diets in addition to whatever the fuck they feed them? Doesn't seem like much effort to breed bugs and let chickens convert them to tasty protein instead of feeding ze bugs to ourselves directly. Doesn't seem like many homesteaders or farms do this but I could be wrong.

There was a study some years back about that. I've forgotten the actual purpose of the study and got fixated on one point made that chickens fed a big heavy diet tasted exactly the same as those that weren't and had only marginally different nutritional profiles so maybe it was that raising bugs for this purpose wasn't cost effective in the long run.
iirc, there was a world of difference, however, when it came to eggs. Bug fed chickens made better tasting, more nutritious eggs, I think.

Huh, seems like a good enough deal for me but I'm not too informed on the subject to make any conclusions. Still, farming bugs seems like it's literally free and the bug poop/frass is as good as manure too. Guess it must be too tedious or too much work or something.

>big heavy diet
should have read BUG heavy diet, if that wasn't clear.
Farming bugs might seem free but you've got to remember: bugs need to eat and someone needs to feed them IE to raise bugs to feed chickens, you'd need to still pay for feed and labour (and additional labour to feed the bugs you raised to the chickens). That's why I guessed it wasn't worth the effort.
