Not gonna happen...saving crickets for chameleons everywhere!

Dang... You know I get teased all the time by friends and family members about eating my feeders... Maybe I should make a small batch just to freak them out.

I'm gonna try it! or maybe buy some here https://www.edibleinsects.com/entomophagy/roasted-crickets/

I've bought packets of them before just to freak people out. One piece of advice: don't eat a bacon-cheeseburger within 24 hours: all you will taste is cricket.

@LittleVeiledExplorer maybe you should make some of these for your friends...

I think I had a slight laugh attack when I open the page. This may be the best April Fools idea I've seen in a while. I wonder if they'd taste immediately different or like regular cookies. I'd hope that they taste normal so that I could tell everyone AFTER they swallow them. Either way, the reaction would be amazing.

Crickets are lizard food! Not for people! Yuck!

That's the easier route than preparing your own, I like this easier route.

For convenience I bought from Amazon! If it's good enough for my chameleon buddy, it's good enough for me....lol

See what you did @kinyonga

I never thought I would be googling nutritional facts on crickets for anything other than reptiles and amphibians.

I had some seasoned crickets during my last Asia trip. Pretty common in that part of the world. Also had some grasshopper salsa in Mexico a few months back.

I had chocolate covered bees! Chocolate made them tasty!

@Fireborn ...where do you live so I can send you some chirpie cookies?? .

 

[Fireborn]

I'm not sure I could mentally eat it. I'm pretty picky and I ain't desperate enough to eat bugs.

 

[kinyonga]

But I wouldn't tell you they had bugs in them! (Evil grin)

Have you tried the Jelly Belly Bamboozled game yet?? It's not bugs bt...

It's rude to mention *cough* Beanboozled, the taste stays a long time!!!

 

[Fireborn]

I gave someone that for Christmas long time ago. I never did hear about how that turned out.

 

[kinyonga]

We had a great time playing it! The yucky flavors definitely are yucky...but the game is still fun! They had Advent calendars out like that too!
Once was enough for both though!
