So what does one do with shrimp paste?

I hope I didn't "kill" the thread with Giant bug paste. We stalled out at 79. Come on IHB...I predicted 100 posts!



edit: make that 80 :cheese:
 
[quote author="skek" date=1208490214]So, are there any good restaurants in OC where one can order bugs on/off menu? I've eaten bugs in other countries from time to time, but I can't find a good local restaurant that serves them. Although I'm sure that's just because I don't know where to look...</blockquote>


Oh that's easy. Go into any restaurant and be a complete a-hole to the staff from moment one. You will get to eat bugs, you just won't know they're there. :coolgrin:

Meanwhile, in the service station in the centre of town, the ebb and flow of Skuon life continues as more minibuses full of spider-starved Phnom Penh residents pull up, to be besieged by a cluster of excited spider-sellers.



Spiders make a lovely beach snack

REASONS TO EAT BUGS (i pulled this from a google search)



Many species of insects are lower in fat, higher in protein, and have a better feed to meat ratio than beef, lamb, pork, or chicken.



Insects are tasty. Really! Even if you are too squeamish to have them as a main dish, you can make insect flour and add it to bread and other dishes for an added protein boost.



Insects are easy to raise. There is no manure forking. No hay bale lifting. No veterinary bills. You can raise them in an apartment without getting complaints.



Most people do not mind butchering insects. The butchery of insects is very simple compared with that of cattle or poultry, and nowhere near as gory.



Raising insects is environmentally friendly. They require minimal space per pound of protein produced, have a better feed to meat ratio than any other animal you can raise, and are very low on the food chain. They are healthy, tasty, and have been utilized for the entire history of mankind (after all, it is easier to catch a grub than a mammoth).



Also, as far as I know, no animal rights activists object to the eating of insects. You don't need to destroy any wildlife habitat to eat insects, and you can incorporate insects and earthworms into a recycling program......vegetable waste in, yummy insect protein out.

Um...sure...I'll be sure to pick up a bag of insect flour the next time I make cookies.



I am suddenly suspicious of the protein cookies at 24 Hour Fitness. :zip:
