billymg: i took a few days off this week on the crawler / site. checked out a few land purchase opportunities (want to be able to raise my own beef for when the supermarkets are only selling bugs)
billymg: back into it today though writing the www for the crawler output
thimbronion: There is so much bug shit on the shelves now here.
billymg: thimbronion: wait, honestly?
thimbronion: well, I mean soy/vegitable based meat substitutes
billymg: ah, right
thimbronion: Not literally bugs
billymg: yeah, was wondering if they had advanced from that to the actual bugs yet
billymg: i'm sure those are the products in which it will first appear
thimbronion: Honestly sometimes those big fat roasted grubs they eat in laos look tasty.
billymg: hey, during part of my childhood in africa i remember eating salted fried flying ants, and they were delicious
billymg: but as snack, and by choice
thimbronion: Yeah I mean you knew it was a bug and it wasn't some weird chemical experiment.
billymg: yeah
billymg: and not primary source of protein, etc.
dorion never knowingly/willingly ate an insect.
billymg: dorion: actually, come to think of it, there was this hipster oaxacan restaurant in park slope that offered fried grasshoppers as a side/garnish to guacamole and chips. i remember it adding a nice bit of extra saltiness and texture to the bite
dorion: billymg, I'm not exactly saying I wouldn't, would need to be guided by a connoisseur though... i've heard good reports of fried frog legs after a night of gigging too, but haven't tasted myself. I've tended to go the other way, e.g. helping jfw break his couple decade abstinence from meat, lol.
