This is true, I ate fried grasshoppers once and it tasted so much like shrimps I ate handfuls of them.

Delicious, delicious bugs.
What’s the original context for this image?
Thank you for asking
Huh, neat. TBH I hope they don't get any more than a slap on the wrist. But knowing this country that ain't happening.
Influencers who love power.
You're telling me a bug fried this rice?
It wasn't Edgar. It was wearing Edgar. Like an Edgar suit.
The only good bug, is a dead big.
steps on cockroach
Oh, I'm sorry. Was that your auntie?
I'm doing my part!
... Oh, sorry, wrong movie.
Yes, but does it really matter if they're delicious?
Red Lobster had you one step closer to living in the pod. We needed to kill it.
If ground bugs were just as tasty I’d eat them too.
The main problem is that they can’t get as big on land so there’s not much meat on the exoskeleton.
They are, you're just not out trying them.
What about da crawfish?
They mudbugs.
Very tiny lobsters
What about da lobsters?
Also bugs
What about weevils?
Same. Lots of legs, detritus feeders, and an exoskeleton? Bugs. Shrimp, lobster, crayfish, crabs; all bugs.
Holy RF burns, Batman. You'll never see me touching an antenna I'm not familiar with.
Been saying this for years. I don't eat bugs just because they came from the sea and are expensive.
This thumbnail didn't load on my feed and for a second I thought you were the canal guy based on the title.
“bug” is a folksonomy that generally means anything that ought to be a bug, including insects, spiders and lobsters. It has no meaning other than vibes, so whether a shrimp is a bug depends on whether it feels like one to whoever’s making the call.
This suddenly became relevant again
