I was eating my freshly made salad -- halfway through a really big bug crawled out! He had antennas!! and legs and wings and he was in my salad...

For that? I deserve a whopper and fries for lunch. LOL all the preservatives and cooked and processed!!! no live bugs!

so grossed out!

    I guess the only bug that would have deterred me from finishing the salad would have been a roach...cicadas are not so bad. I know some landscapers that play a game called, "close your eyes and eat what I shove in your mouth." Mostly a worm/grub diet for them.

    Oh my! Please tell me it wasn't lettuce from a bag? I eat that stuff all the time. A couple of years ago, I saw a picture of a bag of lettuce with a frog in it.

    Hate to tell you guys, but the FDA allows a pretty large amount of bugs into salad greens... more so if its organic. Don't think you're safe if you go for processed food... it just means the bugs (and sometimes worse) are cut up small enough that you can't see it. Red food colouring is generally made from insects as well :laugh:

    Just don't think about it too hard, and remember that they don't hurt you. You're better off eating a grasshopper than a whopper :flowerforyou:

    that would upset me, because it is not related in any way. in a vagetable, you think, ok, this came from the earth, bugs are sharing the veggies with me, not such a big deal. but dragonfly in mayo...mayo is supposed to be eggs and oil. so where did the dragonfly come from? ewww.
    plus all the mayo had been marinating in dragonfly juices....:sick:

    alive and well...
    organic, so i guess its not soooo bad.

    If i grew it in my own back yard, again, not so bad. But where did it come from and what the heck was it??????????

    a lizard in an oriental salad would put me over the edge!

    Oh wow! I would have to laugh at that, after I screamed hysterically and possibly pootied my pants!!

    It's just nature, sweetheart. Bugs live in the plants that we eat! Sometimes they hitch a ride. Did you ask the waiter if the chef could maybe deep fry the little bugger (teehee, get it, "little bugger?" Laugh, dammit! It's funny! :laugh:) Or dip it in some chocolate? Everything's good in chocolate, especially if you are drunk enough. :drinker:

    Of course I'm kidding!!! :flowerforyou:

    My dad had chocolate covered spiders in Laos - he loved them. Its only really western cultures that have an issue eating insects.

    Also... any of you eat lobster? Shrimp? They're both arthropods. Just like insects.
