Not quite. Raw fish wasn't a big leap because we've been eating cooked fish for thousands of years. You can start with tuna "steaks," which look like a rare beef steak, and go from there. There is nothing like insect "meat" in our diet. The closest thing we have to a bunch of small crickets is a bowl of cereal in terms of shape and form.
- ImprovedSilence 13y ago>> There is nothing like insect "meat" in our diet. Shrimp are pretty disgusting to look at. Live shrimp are pretty "insect like" I'd say. as mentioned elsewhere, lobsters too. When you take a step back though, lots of our current food practices are pretty "weird" too. Like, milking mammals for their mothers milk, and then letting it turn sour and harden, calling it cheese, and eating it? Just because "it's been done for thousands of years" doesn't mean holistically it isnt a pretty weird thing to do...

It's not been long since cockchafer were eaten by your (grand-) grandparents. This is a start for you: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entomophagy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entomophagy Insects are part of my diet pretty much since I started making Sushi regularly. And I'm planning to have a farm in August with a friend who is a farmer.
