Would cockroaches taste good?

Think about it. Lobsters and crabs are considered delicacies. But what are lobsters and crabs?

They are closely related to insects and eat dead crap off the ocean floor. In other words, they are the cockroaches of the ocean.

Wouldn't it make sense for cockroaches to taste good too?

Try the cockroach pate' on rye with dill pickles. An excellent low fat, high protein lunch!

Cockroaches don't have enough meat to bother with, they just aren't big enough.

very positive about that, here in Tokyo we have brown and black one. The black one make a living by digesting feces. :)

Insects are extremely healthy and would be a very good replacement for meat.

They don't taste too bad either. At least they taste better than a pig or cow you slaughtered a few seconds ago ;)

You don't wanna eat fresh cow or pig cuz they too tough. You gotta age 'em several days and let them get all squishy.

(Ah love steak, so nyah!)

I don't consume "roaches" anymore. But years ago I consumed quite a few very good "roaches". The "roaches" from Columbia were best ;).

Humbolt country roaches are very good for you.


If you &quot;think&quot; that you wouldn't like to eat roaches, then keep in mind that there are federal regulations that regulate the amount of roach parts, mouse droppings and human hair is allowed in the food you eat.

You already eat plenty...
