oh I'm sure, if I had a sudden protein craving and nothing else of that nature in the house, they might do nicely stir-fried with some veggies
but that's not what you meant, is it?

My older brother ate a spider when he was a kid- a daddy longlegs, i believe! My mother says she had to spend a good half hour picking the legs from between his teeth.............MMMMM!!!

But in many parts of the world, bugs are eaten quite regularly, and no one seems the worse for it, but I'm sure glad I live here!!

I'll eat anything from the animal kingdom. I might cook it first, but I'll eat it.

Sigh... me too. It's awful, really, because I love all animals dearly, and respect them greatly.... it's just that they taste so damn good.... LOL!!!!! Because I run a rescue, most people assume I'm a vegetarian. And I tried... I really did, I was a vegetarian for years after high school, all thru college and into about my third year of marriage. But I wasn't happy and I always, always craved meat.

So my compromise to the animal kingdom is, we now raise our own meat animals. This way I'm not eating factory farmed animals; our critters live lives free to graze, play, interact with their own kind, are fed well and plenty and treated with mucho kindness. Their lives end very quickly and humanely with our butcher only being 10 minutes up the road. It's not always easy, tho... like right now, it is past time to send our two pigs but I've been putting it off. They're so darn cute and happy. They roam free on the property and frequently sleep on the front porch!! Yeah-- I know, I know:

You might be a redneck if you have to step over your hogs on your way to the front yard....

i couldn't do what you do. if i raised an animal, i couldn't kill it even if it was life and death. i get way to attached to animals lol i would perfer to eat an animal that has been killed before i meet it on my plate lol.

I do really respect what you do though!
