Anyond tried black beatles?

No, most generally people over here don't eat bugs Your poor son, he's probably going to grow up and be strange with all of his bug incidents.

no, thanks goodness i haven't. yuck. poor hugo the bugs are after him. fIX THAT BOY SOME SOUL FOOD AS MY SON USE TO CALL MY SUPPER, LOL.

Not on purpose...yuck! Glad he survived another new variation of protein!

hi thea not I but this reminded me of the time when my kid was little and we lived in Tempe A rizona. We had a barrage of large green grasshoppers. we walked down town on one very warm spring evening to find a bunch of Korean people all catching these large green grasshoppers. the hoppers were so warm they just clung to the heated outsides of the buildings, and the Koreans were just scooping them into large containers. My husband asked this one man why were they catching these hoppers? He said, " Why to eat of course, do you want a pail full?" My hubby turned a delicate shade of green, gulped, and replied" No thanks, not this time" They told me that they were delicious fried, and offered me some, but I thanked them, and said,"NO Thanks"

no. fly flew into my mouth once but any beetle type things i have either not eaten or been unaware of. you know that while your son's diet may nutitionally sound i am not sure that this is the best way to feed a child - he may have problems when snacking on his favourite foods when he becomes an adult. social and otherwise...

Glutinous rice wrapped in banana leaves, seasoned with red ants. It's a Malaysian delicacy I tried, all unknowing. I thought the fried red things were chili peppers. Crunchy, tangy chili peppers. I was most unhappy when I found out otherwise. Another thing I tried was fried grasshoppers candied in honey. I was told the grasshoppers (which didn't look like grasshoppers) were fried nuts. Unhappy about that one, as well. Perhaps the yuckiest thing I've ever eaten were giant moth larvae. I was told they were a form of steamed nuts with a crunchy exterior and a soft, gooey interior. Downed an entire plateful of those in various dips before I was told what they really were. I was VERY unhappy about that. To be fair, everything I described was delicious. Unfortunately, I have a hard time disassociating my tastebuds from my imagination. Which is strange, when you consider the fact that I'm not a vegetarian. A Hindu, for example, would be mortified at the fact that I eat (rarely) beef. Which just goes to show how culturally biased we are with our definitions of what constitutes "yucky" food. Along with other things.

Other than substituting rice milk for milk, nope, can't think of a thing...

I wouldn't be eating any red pomegranate seeds after that. I would be disgusted. I'm sure it don't hurt to eat them though.

Beatles are rare out here where i live... and i am particularly careful as to what i eat (never eat in dark). so i didn't have any similar experience....not as yet. however i have heard that in some countries such things are considered a delicacy.....perhaps your son can become a natural citizen of any such country....

I've had the usual fly getting into my mouth when I'm running or on the cycle, but nothing really more than that. Next year, however, my friend and I are doing a sponsored walk, with intermittent "dares" which people will vote for us to do, and we're expecting them to want us to eat insects at some point, so I've already started to try to brace myself for it! I agree that it's psychological, and I don't think insects do any harm, but yuck! Lol!

I don't think I'll be trying any bugs any time soon. but it's perfectly ok for kids. children eat all kinds of weird things and it doesn't bother them because they don't know any better yet. My two year old won't eat any thing she hasn't dropped on the floor first.
