- inflatableDodo 7y agoMay I suggest 'worm', as it doesn't seem to stop tequila drinkers.
- JabavuAdams 7y agoNope, nope, nope. Not good enough.
- overcast 7y agoThe presence of a mezcal worm is a good indication of a shit product using marketing. No one drinks that stuff unless they are naive.

- benj111 7y agoGrubs? Fly calves? SFMHPP? (Soldier Fly Maggot High Protein Powder) I suspect some variation of the latter is how this will get into the food chain. Identifiable insects get in the news, but it'll probably be as an additive where it sees most use. After all what percentage of chicken is sold as actual whole pieces of chicken rather than reformed, breaded, sauced, otherwise processed meat?
- TopRattata 7y ago> Fly calves? Micro-veal! Bam, now it's fancy.
- jacobedawson 7y agoWee-veal?
- benj111 7y agoI think you're misunderstanding what we're trying to do here. We're trying to get away from the insectiness, not charge towards it.... Otherwise it would obviously be beeftle.... Until the horse fly meat scandal.
- rmilk 7y ago“Bug Bites” is the name of the fish food in my local pet store. Comes in goldfish formula and algae eater formula. The package says it is grown by Enterra Feed in Canada using unconsumed fruit and vegetable that would go to waste.
- NikolaeVarius 7y agoI'm pretty sure he would eat a maggot, its not anything that is different from what he has already eaten
- stirfrykitty 7y agoAndrew Zimmern would surely eat them and maybe has done. He's eaten everything else. I recall him saying the only things he will not eat are Durian and oatmeal (texture thing). Editing to say he did eat grubs on one episode and said something along the lines of it feeling like a massive pop of pus in his mouth. I swore then I would never follow suit.
- twic 7y agoSteve would eat them: http://www.thesneeze.com/steve-dont-eat-it/ http://www.thesneeze.com/steve-dont-eat-it/
- overcast 7y agoAll you need is a clever marketing name, like Chilean Sea Bass. Problem solved.
- JabavuAdams 7y agoReminds me of the pesticide spray bottle that had a magnified picture of a giant juicy grub right where you would have to put your hand to pick up the bottle. Um, great marketing there folks.
- stirfrykitty 7y agoThat episode when Bear killed and "ate" the skunk was hilarious. I recall him saying that cooking it "smelled like burning tires". Hilarious.
