    I dunno I feel like most bugs would be pretty decent fried in Gaelic butter with salt.

        Well yeah but I don’t like unsalted unbutter shellfish either usually.

      I’ve tried crickets and ants before and they were decent with a ton of seasoning but it sure as hell wasn’t as good as lobster.

          It’s a big deal in Oaxaca and they’re not bad. They add a ton of lime and salt and other seasonings. I had them when drinking Mezcal. The ants are really big too. Apparently they have like a spawning period where they’re just everywhere so you can just scoop them up and put them in a skillet really easily.

          Sorry to any actual big scientists. I’m sure I butchered that.

            Can’t imagine if I were to eat ants. Grasshopper I can imagine. But ants… I come from Indonesia and there we have small ants that smell like shit…

            If I am to believe the tellings from It Came From The Desert, there could be ants as big as a house.
