Peanutbutter on grilled cheese is my secret favorite :)

True about the phobias of eating certain things, in all cultures.  But there are 
some things I just can't get around, my mind, to even think about trying.  Like 
oysters.  To me, they look like nothing more than slimey snot on a shell.  Sorry 
to all you oyster lovers out there, I can't get it past my brain and guts 
reaction of, yuck.  Snails are another, not going to happen for me.

I am glad that there are some who like these things, you all can have my share.

I am sure there are things I like that others would say yuck to, like 
peanutbutter and dill pickle sandwiches..................

They're actually pretty good. Taste like... no, not chicken ;-) More
like roasted nuts. They were cooked and crunchy when I tasted them. I
wouldn't mind repeating the experience.

Crickets, on the other hand, have more shell than substance. Rather
like eating unshelled sunflower seeds. Meh.

If you want something with a little more meat, in my (very limted)
experience, what you want is scorpion.

The Montreal Insectarium did insect tastings every year; we must have
gone at least three years in a row. They had real food; seasoned
properly, cooked so they'd be at their best; not just reduced to a
powder and used to bake cookes, or dipped in thick chocolate so you'd
forget they were there.

I think we have a lot of cultural fears and dislikes about food, that
have absolutely no other reason to exist than the fact that nobody we
know eats those things.

But I admit insects are hard to imagine as a food item in... I was
going to say North America, but maybe I should say the Western
world...
