I just can't bring myself to actually eat bugs. For a girl I'm actually not too squeamish about bugs - I garden with my bare hands at times and dig up some weird looking creatures - but I just can't fathom eating them unless I were totally desperate. I would rather eat weeds (many of which do have great nutritional value, like dandelions!) I get what you mean Roy, and totally agree with that… I just can’t bring myself to actually eat bugs.

Omnivorism is so simple. I eat food. I have a try-it-once strategy to food. If it's terrible, I don't eat it again. So far the failures include raw oyster and portobello mushrooms (vegetarian steak my pale behind!). Surprise winners are shitake mushrooms and fish sauce. Same applies here. Besides, stir fried in sesame oil or such, I bet most small arthropods make a delightfully crunchy snack. He he he! Omnivorism is so simple. I eat food. I have a try-it-once strategy to food.

Shrimp is one of the things that drove me to be vegetarian when I was 12 - watching people eat that little line of poop or whatever it is that goes down its back! Gag! I come from a family of New York/Massachusetts seafood eaters, and it's hard to watch sometimes. Yeah I know, I think of shrimp & lobster as water bugs.

I know there are cultures that eat those critters, but leave me out of it. But seriously, what's the difference between crayfish and this? Or even Shrimp? They are just water-based creepy crawly things. Nasty!! I know there are cultures that eat those critters, but leave me out of it.
