Due to many and far-reaching requests, all conversations regarding the consumption of insects/arachnids, the drinking of putrescent substances or the peeling of scabs shall be relagated to this thread. Thank you.

Scabs? Mmmm...fettuccini and scabsauce with roasted ticks and grated hyena cheese. Comes with a side salad.

I don't think I want to know what you're having for dessert

I am quite frankly appalled by the lack of serious postings here about the stated topic. I see debates raging about the use of "smileys", but I see an unfortunate lack of insect-mastication stories. I may have to find another board, since this seems to be the case.

I was in Japan on business the other month, we were out to dinner with some big potential clients, and to "build strength & fortitude" before the meeting, we had to eat LIVE eels. A six inch eel sliding and undulating in your throat is something very, very strange to experience. Once it got down to my stomach it took nine minutes for my stomach acids to kill the thing, and until they did, it continued to sqirm and wriggle. I felt like I was pregnant: "Here feel it kick".

Bring on the Ticks Au Poivre!

Foul: ROFL

I'm sorry you had such an experience.

Even I never had eels alive in my life...

Yuk

It was a great experience. When I was in Parimaribu Surinam I ate live maggots, and one live Screaming c-o-c-kroach. Do you know what those are? They are about the size of your palm and rub their wings together when attacked to emit a piercing shriek (Wail of the Banshee). How you eat them is sort of like a crab crossed with an oyster, except they're alive. You pull the wings off and break the carapace in half, and suck out the contents of the chest cavity. The one I ate grabbed me by the fingers and drew blood. Food that fights back: the vegetarians in the crowd should like that one.

Absolutely. The best I could come up with was Sea Slug Sushi.

Suzy sells sea slug sushi by the sea shore.

Here's a horror story: I once drank an Old Milwaukee. Top that
