Eating Insects for Food

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING!

This file as others is not finished, so bare with me, meanwhile
much information still can be used for your pleasure. Thanks!

INSECTS AS FOOD YES! OUI, OUI!:

THERE IS SCARCELY ANY KIND OF INSECT WHICH A SURVIVOR COULD
NOT SAFELY EAT.

Starvation next to impossible!

INSECTS ARE WONDERFUL FOOD BEING MOSTLY FAT & FAR MORE
STRENGTHENING THAN EITHER FISH OR MEAT.

IT DOES NOT TAKE MANY INSECTS TO KEEP YOU FIT. (ASK A BEAR.)

Don't be squeamish about eating insects as it is
entirely uncalled for. In parts of Mexico the most
nutritious food is made from the eggs of small insects found
in the marshes.

In Japan #draning needles# or dragon flies are delicacy.
They have a delicious delicate taste so BE SURE to try them
after all millions of Japanese can't be all wrong.

MOTHS, MAYFLIES IN FACT ABOUT ALL THE INSECTS FOUND IN THE
WOODS ARE VERY EDIBLE = (GOOD.)

The only one which gives a bitter taste is the ants because
they contain formic acid.

Grasshoppers or locust are considered a delicacy in
many countries. It is best to remove wings and legs & toast
the body on a stick. So are cicadas*, termites, locusts
and crickets ARE EDIBLE.

REMEMBER that ALL Locusts, crickets, termites, ants, larva
etc. have double advantages; easy to catch & nourishing,
fried or roasted gives a better taste & they are an
EXCELLENT SOURCE OF PROTEINS.

However as for ALL the insects one MUST remember to cook
them all in order to get rid of any parasites. Just remove
the head, wings and legs & cook them in steam or fry them.

Also #chenille# are good food sources but AVOID to eat
the #chenille a poils# since numerous species of them are toxic.

INSECTS HUNTING: (It buggs me?)

An ancient method for securing already cooked insects,
reptiles & small animals is to fire large tracks of
grassland and then to comb them for whatever may have been
roasted by the fire. A small light at night is all that
you need to get you all the insects you need to keep you in
good conditions even Rambozoro or Jane.

If the weather is too cold for flying insects, kick open
some rotten logs or look under stones and get some grubs.
They keep bear fat & healthy and will do the same for you
dear. Insects can be used as bait to get birds or fishes
and that the best time to capture them is in the morning
when they are still numbed by the cold night.

ANT'S LEMONADE: (Anyone?)

Some aborigines have capitalized on the ants' acidity by
mashing them in water sweetened with berries or sap to
make a sort of lemonade. The eggs and the young of the ant
are also eaten.

INSECTS & WORMS:

Best boiled. Cook and mince them by crushing in a can.
More acceptable dried on hot rocks and then ground into a
powder with which to enrich soups and stews. The large
types of worms particularly are eaten in many countries.
So eat them before they eat you?!

GRUBS:

The white wood burrowing Larvae of Beetles is usually
found in rotten logs. Remove the head, thorax and legs and
eat. The eggs ARE EDIBLE but are dry and tasteless.
Maggots are good to eat too.

SNAILS:

Both aquatic or terrestrial snails are an excellent
source of food when obtainable.
