Get rich cooking with beekeeping pests.

I'm not sure what to make of it, where to post it, or how far to projectile vomit.

:o

Wife has had to tavel to China on business, and some of the courses they served were insects cooked up in a variety of ways... I was sort of curious what they tasted like, if any were good, or if they all tasted bad.... but when I started to ask.. I got a cross between the LOOK, and a glare, with a little shock added in... so I guess she didn't try any of them :(

Us boys in the Seabees loved to go there to eat, it was cheap and filled you up, and tasted AMAZINGLY good... Their fried rice and eggrolls were AMAZING and make my mouth water some 20 + years later. (Never mind!)
The week before our battalion was due to ship back to California the place was shut down because of the "meat" they were using.. I never did learn what kind of meat it was, and truth be told, I wouldn't have cared!! If it tastes good, doesn't make me sick then I'm in!

The rabbi replied, "at your wedding".

The students and staff serve recipes and dishes made with bugs in them. I will admit I have had some pretty good food made with bugs but never wax moth.
