    I'm a lifelong motorcyclist,,, I eat enough bugs that I really should log them on my food diary on MFP.

    It won't hurt you. As someone said,,, free protein. Fruit salad is made from fruit, which grows on trees, outdoors. There are bugs outdoors. We mostly try to wash our food and do a careful prep, but stuff gets missed. Personally I'd be thrilled to know that the stuff was so lightly handled that a live bug made it to my plate - that tells me it was never treated with any death-soaps or anything.

    Mmmm,,, roly poly. It's what's for dinner! :drinker: :bigsmile: :laugh:

    I was eating corn on th cob one summer and I looked at the cob to take my next bite and guess what - yup, a 1/2 of a worm. I always wondered what happened to the other half.....hmmm.......

    I likely wouldve thrown out the bug and continued eating it. I have no issues with insects. Ive eaten them before. Spiders can taste quite garlicky :)

    Well I concur, that's just nasty. Crickets do not taste good (without chocolate :laugh: ).

    It was a great day for her and a gross day for you - but it was a really really tough day for the cricket!

    We were in my party room (we = guys I ride with and their families). My buddy's teenaged daughter shrieked and point to a spider that was dropping from the ceiling. It was about head high and dropping slowly. I stepped over to it, opened my mouth and snapped it up. I have to point out that this was after a BBQ in which I might have imbibed a JD or two. Can't say it tasted like much.

    It is now legend every time that particular teenager comes to a gathering at my house.

    When I was little I'd suck up ants through a straw. They are quite bitter tasting. Happened accidently at first, but since I liked the taste, I continued being an anteater.

    I am very involved in Martial Arts and have been for 36 years. In 1984, when my Master got married, every Master within 100 miles attended. About 8. After the ceremony, there was a reception at a local hall. Towards the end of the reception, all the Masters left and headed for a local Korean Bar. Some tradition I was not aware of. Being Master Moon Kyu Im's number #1 student, I was invited. It was crazy. We sat down and one of the Master's ordered "Drinks." No specific's just "Drinks". No one would allow your drink to get even half drained before more drinks were solicited. Each person had to get up during the evening and sing a song to Master Im.

    Here's the gross part. Every time the drinks were brought to the table, a bowl of "something moving" was brought as an appetizer. It was very dimly lit, but it appeared to be some king of hard-shelled bug. Being the lowest ranking Black Belt and the only non-Korean and to not bring shame to Master Im, I could not pass on the appetizers. They did, however, seem to get better with the passing of the night and the additional drinks.

    this probably won't make anyone feel much better about a bug in their food but the FDA does have standards for the amounts of bug, bug parts and other contaminants allowed in food products. it's impossible to remove all of them, people are really a minority on this planet, so there are maximum allowances. kinda gross but bugs probably aren't even close to being the yuckiest thing we consume.

    Yep, they also have tolerances for fecal matter...

    I may be wrong.
