    I mean, I think I tried one once, thought it was ok, definitely didn’t hate it… but yeah, yep. Going to be an interesting shock to the American diet.

    I’ve been saying unironically need to figure out how to do the bug pizzas from CyberPunk 77 for a while now… because … meat just is going to get more and more expensive…

      I’ll stop short of eating ze bugs, haha. Despite how min-maxed grubs are nutritionally, I’m too squeamish for that.

      It feels like it’s been the last decade or so that alternative products like the plant patty and things like hard seltzers have been formulated to taste significantly less awful than they used to. Or my tastebuds are changing, both can be true to some degree.

        The way I see it, a bunch of crickets or ants or something, ground up into a paste and then sifted to get the crunchier parts of the carapace out…

        How is that really different from the pink slime chicken nuggets?

        Other than it probably requires less chemical treatment?

        Just press those into the shape of a pepperoni slice, figure out how to cook em.
