Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

IF THEY WERE COOKED
Question Of The Week, 01-15-18
Would you be willing to eat a bowl of crickets for $50,000?
If I was a meat eater, probably. They are no weirder than a lot of other foods people consume regularly. And I believe you can buy chocolate covered crickets.
You bet! At least I think so. Hey-- think of the first person to eat snails. Or Lobsters. Lobsters aren't exactly pretty, and like the grasshoppers they're skeletons are on the outside. I think. :)
At first I thought maybe, then definitely not. Heads and brains and guts? no thanks. Unless they've been "deveined and beheaded" like prawns. That might be a different story. I could use $50,000
In a word - NO!
ReplyDeleteMy oldest grandson recently ate a cricket and said it wasn't too bad. Of course he is in the military and someone probably dared him.
DeleteHmmm. Probably not, or maybe. :)
ReplyDeleteCrickets are supposed to be a delicacy in some countries. And $50,000 is a lot of money...??
DeleteShort answer - NO!
ReplyDeleteI'm not that hard up lol
What if you added your favorite cereal to the bowl and some milk?
DeleteWhat would your answer be Annie??
DeleteMy answer is yes, if they are cooked. I could not eat them if they were alive and hopping around in the bowl.
DeleteNope.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't sound like you are confused about that Delores. LOL
DeleteNot.
ReplyDeleteWhat if they were sugar coated Sharon?
DeleteFor $50, 000? That’s two years of work for me so yes!
ReplyDeleteThat's the way I feel about it also Birdie. I'll sit next to you while we both chow down. LOL
DeleteNO!
ReplyDeleteWow Olga, it didn't take long for you to come up with that answer. LOL
DeleteIf I was a meat eater, probably. They are no weirder than a lot of other foods people consume regularly. And I believe you can buy chocolate covered crickets.
ReplyDeleteOkay E.C., you have hit on the perfect solution. Cover them in chocolate and I'm all for it.
DeleteYou bet! At least I think so. Hey-- think of the first person to eat snails. Or Lobsters. Lobsters aren't exactly pretty, and like the grasshoppers they're skeletons are on the outside. I think. :)
ReplyDeleteWith $50,000 at stake we can think up all kinds of reasons to dig in. I could easily think of them as tiny lobsters:-)
DeleteWell, I'm mostly vegan but for that cash, I'd have to put my bib on and start chewing!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I just see you with your bib and a bowl full of crickets in front of you.
DeleteFor 50,000 I'm not proud I have probably eaten worse...in other words bring them on.
ReplyDeleteI am not proud either Jimmy. That amount of money could tempt anyone. What do you think you may have eaten that's worse than crickets?
DeleteNO!
ReplyDeleteLet me see Chatty, is that a no? LOL
DeleteNot even for 50p.
ReplyDeleteOh come on Ivy, not even if they were cooked in your air fryer?
DeleteAt first I thought maybe, then definitely not. Heads and brains and guts? no thanks. Unless they've been "deveined and beheaded" like prawns. That might be a different story. I could use $50,000
ReplyDeleteI am guessing if someone walked in the door with a bowl of crickets in one hand and $50,000 in the other, we could all find a way.
DeleteNO.
ReplyDeleteI had to really think this through. Can I grind it up into powder and add it to something? Cause that's the only way.
