PaulR Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 If y'all wanna talk about eating bugs? How about the Australian favorite: Witchetty Grub: Can't say that I've tried it..... but Dennis be my guest when you visit Down Under!!
Curly Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 If I had to eat a pot of them or a pot of roaches or I'd die...hmmmmm. Would I suffer or would it be a painless death? Okay, with some dizzy pig spices, Raising the Steaks maybe, I'd choose the Witchetty Grub
PaulR Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Somebody mentioned it already but I have to admit I have eaten bugs... SNAILS!! Not bad with garlic!!
Firemonkey Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Paul, I wont even eat something that looks like that when its atthe bottom of a tequila bottle ...not even if i have just finished consuming the tequila!
PaulR Posted May 2, 2007 Report Posted May 2, 2007 Firemonkey, they're chewey little suckers... I found out a couple of years ago that amazingly enough I seem to be allergic to snails (massive swelling etc.; doctors get involved with shots!) So I don't eat them anymore, have to say that they taste like....GARLIC with cheese sprinkled on top. So I haven't had them plain (I reckon they have a subtle non-descript flavour). Isn't the thingy in a bottle of Tequila a worm; looks like a cousin of a witchetty grub to me! Are Sea Urchins considered to be bugs (more like crab I reckon) I had those as well (don't ask I was in a Club Med in Africa and the French love them). Wouldn't have those again either fairly gross when you think about it (and especially how they eat them........) I still think that Dennis delicacies are in a different league!
jehlinger Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 I love snails. They do pretty much taste like garlic and butter, but are great on crusty bread!!! Then again, I'm from Texas where we eat rattlesnakes, frogs legs and the other white meat.......chicken!
jehlinger Posted June 8, 2007 Report Posted June 8, 2007 I do not root for the cowboys, I can't stand Jerry Jones
DennisLinkletter Posted June 10, 2007 Author Report Posted June 10, 2007 She's only 19 months old, she doesn't know any better! My lil lady brought home a bigger bag of them critters.. Isla snacking Deep fried...
paul1927 Posted June 10, 2007 Report Posted June 10, 2007 Your daughter is adorable, but I don't like to see her next to those things. It makes the Haitian food look good.
Guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Posted June 10, 2007 What is on that other plate? Grasshoppers? The only grasshopper I ever had was a green minty drink, some thirty years ago. I tried the canned sweat stuff, but I'll have to pass on these critters!
ThreeDJ16 Posted June 10, 2007 Report Posted June 10, 2007 Ah man, that is just wrong on so many different levels - hehehe. Well, one thing for sure, she will make an excellent contestant on the Survivor series where they make you eat bugs - hehe. Cute kid dude, glad she takes after mom! -=Jasen=-
Sanny Posted June 10, 2007 Report Posted June 10, 2007 Ugh. At that age, they'll put anything in their mouths. Daddies are supposed to protect them! Take it out of their hand, say "dirty," and wipe the handy. Ugh. Looks almost like they're swarming to attack the little bunny... Oh well. I guess they're better for her than fried chips and burgers, but that's just hard to look at. lol.
Curly Posted June 10, 2007 Report Posted June 10, 2007 Poor little thing, I just hope it ain't true, "You are what you eat".
Stewsan Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 "Dang Mah"!!! How'd they get in there???? Dennis was right once again. They do taste like crab The wife slipped these tasty little tidbits on the back end of a 5 hour session.... I wasn't expecting surf and turf and of course didn't get it.
Sanny Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 Looks like they swarmed the KK and got stuck on the grill, kinda like gnats in a glass of wine, or moths on the zapper. Doesn't mean you have to eat them! :::shudder::: Just brush em off. Or rinse, if they're stuck there. Nothing a wire grill brush couldn't get rid of. Or really high heat.
Stewsan Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 Fortunately we have...... let's see... I'm probably not supposed to use the word "maid" but our "domestic engineer" keeps the grill pretty clean and she has the added "union" benefit of tasty little snacks...
Firemonkey Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 That is indeed an outrageously clean grill grate! My grate matches the inside of my grill - which is black like yours. That grate is so clean I have to ask if the inside coating is now black instead of white when the grill is built?
