Survival has become a whole new meaningful word lately. No longer is it something I only ponder when I'm watching The Walking Dead. With a second lockdown looming over the city of Angels, I'm beginning to see everything with new eyes. What 10 bugs to eat?
There is always the classic chocolate-covered grasshopper. I was little and overheard my cousins talk about Mexico when I first learned this was a thing. This taste of Mexico's history is maybe our future.
Anytime I hear one of my friends tell me about their 2-year-old eating some kind of bug, I always respond at least it high in protein. Ants always seem to be the most common. Once again I think maybe everything is better covered in chocolate.
Bee, Grubs might be tricky to get, but with a little bit of smoke and the right plan, you might be able to skewer and roast some for a crunchy treat.
It's weird the more I am thinking about it ick factor is getting less. Another childhood favorite has to be earthworms. There is a story of my older sister eating an earthworm when she was around 2. But now it might be wise to boil them before I taste them.
Roly-Poly, was my favorite bug growing up. I would love how they turned into a ball. Now I'm reading about if you roast them they have a shrimp-like taste. Something to make a mental note on.
Time to invoke the Old Testament, lately it seems like the end of days. When God brings on the plagues, I'll be already his time with a net for the locust. I think I'm going have to keep a lot of chocolate in storage, to make it thru this new reality I found down the rabbit hole.
Speaking of end days I wonder about cockroaches. That might be a mental hurdle to overcome, but when the end times come, I'm sure I will be staring at them crawl under something as the sun rises.
Maybe I'm forgetting the bugs that fly, I wonder how Bees, Dragonfly, June Bugs, will do when they enter my new survival diet. Maybe this was the wisest thing to ponder just before breakfast, this is going to be interesting...
