Are You Ready To Eat Cricket Flour?

[dave1949]

Are fried cricket diped in chocolate considered a delicy by some.

Note: those flour products may also contain rodent droppings??

What a waste of chocolate. I wonder if the legs are crunchy? Do the antennae tickle?

I know that the FDA sets maximum allowable contaminant levels for food products. Rodent feces, hair, bugs, etc. That's why I said "Except for whatever makes into my peanut butter and cereal ..."

There might come a day when I am desperate enough to intentionally eat bugs. I am certainly not too good to. Until that day however, there are just too many other things that I praise The Lord for providing me to eat...Amen

I will try to go on the John the Baptist diet ( wild honey and locust) before the Cricket Flour !

What's a Locust?

What's a Locust?

That's a tricky biblical question:

Locust - Definition and Meaning, Bible Dictionary
2. Identifications:

(1), (2), (3) and (4) constitute the list of clean insects in Leviticus 11:21, characterized as "winged creeping things that go upon all fours, which have legs above their feet, wherewith to leap upon the earth." This manifestly refers to jumping insects of the order Orthoptera, such as locusts, grasshoppers and crickets, and is in contrast to the unclean "winged creeping things that go upon all fours," which may be taken to denote running Orthoptera, such as cockroaches, mole-crickets and ear-wigs, as well as insects of other orders.

'Arbeh (1) is uniformly translated "locust" in the Revised Version (British and American). the King James Version has usually "locust," but "grasshopper" in Judges 6:5; 7:12; Job 39:20; Jeremiah 46:23. Septuagint has usually akris, "locust"; but has brouchos, "wingless locust," in Leviticus 11:22; 1 Kings 8:37 (akris in the parallel passage, 2 Chronicles 6:28); Nahum 3:15; and attelebos, "wingless locust," in Nahum 3:17. 'Arbeh occurs (Exodus 10:4-19) in the account of the plague of locusts; in the phrase "as locusts for multitude" (Judges 6:5; 7:12); "more than the locusts .... innumerable" (Jeremiah 46:23);

Insects are some of the best protean I will eat. I have been all over the world, and have ate all kind of bugs, with spices, not too bad, and sometimes very good.
