...well, arthropods. I'm not sure there's an official definition of "bug" but I think on the Venn diagram, there's lots of overlap with "insect" and "arachnid" and minor overlap with "crustacean" largely due to wood lice. Probably why we eat lobsters and shrimp but not these:
Moreton Bay Bugs are f'ing delicious. I had them fresh in Thailand and if they weren't $40/lb frozen before shipping, I'd eat them more often. I hear Mantis shrimp are also delicious. They're hell on reef tanks, too. You need a better picture, though. After all, we are talking about Genghis Khan bathed in sherbet.
Dang, that's expensive . . . Yeah, I saw that too (love The Oatmeal), I just figured I'd use a picture closer to how I first encountered them, which was basically these three drunk Vietnamese dudes we'd never seen before, pushing a plate of those things our way. Turns out, they were just being really friendly and offering us a delicacy! Deliciousness aside, those things are crazy.
I'd want someone else to eat it first. Dunno. Lobster doesn't exactly turn my crank, but I f'in love Spot Prawns which pretty much fill the same ecological niche. I see that much meat on the half shell that hasn't been chewed on and I presume there's a reason. Some critters just ain't good eatin' and I'm A-OK being the 2nd person to find that out.
Everybody knows somebody who'd take the first bite. My brother's friend Craig would do it.
