Sit down in front of a whole lobster on a plate and tell me we don’t eat insects

[samatman]

Lobsters meet neither the colloquial nor the technical definition of an insect.

We do call them sea bugs, sure. Show me an insect per se with an edible white tissue the size of my palm and we'll talk about it.

Nitpick all you want, but sit down in front of lobster and tell me how insects are gross.

That would be rather easy for most people, but especially those who don't like lobster. Or shrimp. Or crab. Or fish. Or literally any kind of aquatic food whatsoever, whether salt or freshwater.

While you’re right…

Create an oxygen-rich atmosphere and you can engineer big-enough land insects.

See the carboniferous for more details.

Also note that if you’re allergic to shrimp or lobster, chances are pretty high that you’ll get a reaction from eating insects.

It was an advisory from last year’s cicadae boom in the US.

I have this love/hate thing with prawns and lobsters, prawns especially.

They taste so, so good, but if I'm presented with them unshelled/unprepared, I have to try hard to silence my revulsion as I pull off insect-like legs while it stares at me with its insect-like beady eyes :(

And scorpions apparently even taste like lobster.
