Of course, there’s really nothing wrong with eating insects. They’re not naturally any dirtier than other animals. And thanks to loss of energy as you go up the food chain, insects are actually more nutritious proportional to their weight than other animals. Some insects actually have more protein, relatively speaking, than beef. It’s simply cultural bias to think there’s something wrong with eating them.

That and the fact that cockroach steaks are tiny.
Anyway, the Japanese are no strangers to bug eating either.

Guess these just weren’t the same kind of insects they’re used to then.
By the way, if the cockroach steaks are tiny, then just add more of them. Though I think I’d like silkworm better, myself.

I ate grasshopper and silkworms boiled in sweetened soy sauce the other day.(inago to kaiko no tsukudani). A woman in her 70’s gave it to
me, saying she used to eat them during the war. They were not bad.

Nah, but she bugged out for some reason immediately after she gave it to me.
