I've seen cans of silkworm pupa at my local Asian market and wasn't sure what to do with it. They look pretty tasty roasted though.Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964849431612656642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864549976791017872.post-44217949281025899022009-06-05T15:03:03.772-04:002009-06-05T15:03:03.772-04:00I consider myself an adventurous eater but I don&#...I consider myself an adventurous eater but I don't think I could eat crickets..though maybe I could.

And if you ever want to experiment with dishes at home, I'm investigating a source where you can buy bulk crickets fit for human consumption. I'll post the details once I've confirmed that they are safe for cooking and eating. <br /><br />Mononoke Kitchen: hello again! Yes I think it's sad that most people think that meat comes from a grocery store these days, I think we would be a lot more responsible with how we eat and how we treat animals if we were more aware of how food actually gets to our dinner table. <br /><br />Heavenly Housewife: LOL, it's not hard to be more bigboned than I if by bigboned you mean taller - I'm barely 5'3". And you must look super fabulous to be seated in the inner circle at the Wolseley! Now contrast that celebrity treatment with my cricket experience at Vij's - I don't think it was deliberate, but we were seated at the darkest dimmest table in the restaurant, behind a giant slab, a blogger's worst nightmare. Every other table had natural light but ours! <br /><br />But thank you for thinking that I'm thin, you've totally made my day, I guess I do a good job of hiding the 'muffin top'! And no milkshakes required to eat crickets, that would drown out the true flavor of the cricket and why would I want to do that?! :)Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964849431612656642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864549976791017872.post-19498455727975425612009-06-05T08:28:55.018-04:002009-06-05T08:28:55.018-04:00Hey Phyllis :) Thanks for your lovely comments, I ...Hey Phyllis :) Thanks for your lovely comments, I love reading them. Hey u know whats cool, I thought I was the only one who liked white chocolate better than regular chocolate. There is one I particularly like which has the tiniest hint of lemon in it. Its totally divine. I should totally mail you some! <br />We have so much in common. I think we may be two Cartmans separated at birth, but I think I might be more "big boneded" than u! Well I guess I would be really thin too if I ate crickets. U didn't even wash it down with a milk shake did u?<br />Super happy u r back (even if you do have cricket breath). :DHeavenly Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14283933713343453486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864549976791017872.post-79881953652081449732009-06-05T05:01:29.673-04:002009-06-05T05:01:29.673-04:00Hello!

There's a restaurant in DC that serves them along with other pretty authentic fixings, which at first is surprising, because its a white linen type of place. I could never get anyone I was with to try them, and I had the impression they would not like it if I ordered, but I definitely intend to give it ago at some point, in a dish a bit more authentic than candy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864549976791017872.post-73372782402081936052009-06-04T16:43:57.804-04:002009-06-04T16:43:57.804-04:00Justin: not so bad once you got past the wings and...Justin: not so bad once you got past the wings and the hairy legs. <br /><br />Cookin' Canuck: I think they're always on the menu, please let me know what you think!Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964849431612656642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864549976791017872.post-29800449029029774502009-06-04T08:20:25.490-04:002009-06-04T08:20:25.490-04:00Wow, I will have to look for this the next time I&...Wow, I will have to look for this the next time I'm at Vij's.Cookin' Canuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00495903173224103152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864549976791017872.post-5786179327156423792009-06-04T07:54:28.218-04:002009-06-04T07:54:28.218-04:00very bold...very bold...Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18109997692267088407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864549976791017872.post-80542010026714641292009-06-04T03:28:45.799-04:002009-06-04T03:28:45.799-04:00Heavenly Housewife: Will send some crickets your w...Heavenly Housewife: Will send some crickets your way to go with that milkshake :p<br /><br />Mononoke Kitchen: Thanks so much!! :)<br /><br />doggybloggy: I see you had a weird food Wednesday of your own with that gator hand - really creepy! <br /><br />Kenny: you love to see me eat bugs? LOL<br /><br />Jenn: you can do it! they're not that bad when you close your eyes. <br /><br />Eileen: funny, I didn't notice that your crickets were either petite or cute! :) I just did major closeups for dramatic effect. <br /><br />Chow and Chatter: I'm not brave, just Chinese. Hubby Kris is the brave one - he was surprisingly enthusiastic about trying them (this from a boy who just had his first sashimi a couple months ago) <br /><br />5 Star Foodie: The taste was really quite mild, nothing extraordinary so I probably wouldn't order them again the same way. I would like to try them deep fried or in a taco someday.<br /><br />Tangled Noodle: You can have the bucket of crickets, I'll take the sago worm over them anyday!Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11964849431612656642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864549976791017872.post-31412952793157054962009-06-03T18:11:20.176-04:002009-06-03T18:11:20.176-04:00I think that if I tell myself that these are just ...I think that if I tell myself that these are just land-shrimp, I could handle them!
