Title: Eating insects.
Post by: paper_clips43 on November 17, 2013, 12:16:58 am

My new quest is to consume more bugs and insects. As long as I feel its nutritious for me I believe I am going to try it.

Not sure if this was already posted, but has anyone else seen this website? It has some very interesting information that I have only scratched the surface of...

Bruno Comby experimented with insects and wrote a book "Délicieux insectes" — in French.

No, I didn't read it but I talked with Comby a couple of times at the instincto center in Montramé. For me, the key takeaway is that he could find out which insects are edible and which ones are poisonous by tasting them raw. Anyone can do it too by being ready to spit if a bad taste appears.

For example, the other day I ate a piece of an unidentified mushroom. I have absolutely no knowledge about mushrooms but its smell was attractive and its taste was fine, until I felt a slight nausea, sign that I had eaten enough of it at the moment and eating more would probably cause some unpleasant reaction.
