after pouring over missing person records and studying underwater pig carcasses and regional tides, researchers think they have their answer to the mystery of the severed foot case.
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
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.
I understood that they were talking about arthropods because i looked at the picture. It's a meme, not a college essay, so the standards can be pretty fucking low and still get the point across
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.
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.
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.
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.
i actually find shrimp to be quite tolerable, but it's just something about the slight.. ocean-y flavour and knowing it's a crustacean that wins out after a few bites and i have to stop before i start retching..
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.🦞👈🏽🪳✋🏽
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.
Can't find your sea legs, eh? Classic landlubber.
Best I can do is sea feet.
Just your average 9 to 5! 😄
You need to find one of those reverse mermaids, and finding the regular kind is hard enough.
Depends on who you are

Especially when it's prepared correctly (smothered in amber gris).
"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.
There's cheaper, and easier systems for this.
A spoon?
Come to Italy and try some Spaghetti all'Astice. You'll change your mind.
Dying might change my mind, yes. I seem to be allergic to both kinds of bugs
It might be the chitin. Do mushrooms bother you?
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.
Some folks have never been to a proper crawfish boil either and it shows
Does "proper" include knowing how to eat it?
and mine for beef is "I just don't like leg whales"
Sizewise, more like land dolphins.
if only there was some sort of sea creature named after cows in many languages..
I thought about it but "land sea cows" sounded stupid. And they already have legs, of a sort. I guess you're right though, "land manatees" it is.
Poor things are endangered, they'd become a lot more numerous if they were raised for food, but their lives would be worse.
I mean, humans do eat the land ones tho, they're just not so popular with the cultures most represented here.
Arthropod
"Anthropod?"
CRAB PEOPLE
Shrimps is bugs?
Nooo. After further research, bugs is shrimps.
Sauce?
Marinara, please!
With horseradish!
This isn't universal "human" but very culturally different
I beleive Australian Aboriginal People have what they call
Bush GrubBush TuckerI 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.
noooooHave 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.
I checked and yep I'm wrong
Well the ones from the sea come pre-seasoned
Sea bugs come pre-seasoned
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.
Ná. It daznt métr. Ic džast a simpl mistejk, nat a vór krajm.
The mistake is fine, it’s the brushing it off that’s some real low-effort, lazy nonsense.

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.
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.

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 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!
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
To be fair, I'm not huge on lobster, shrimp and crab myself so... I guess I'm consistent 👍
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
Thailand too, also mexico and parts of south America.
Yes, to both.
I'm sure they're delicious. Imagine crab or shrimp but without the brininess of the sea. Completely different taste.
