I can’t eat them due to allergies. I’ve tried lobster and thought it was nothing to write home about. Luckily didn’t really react.
But you don’t find them utterly disguising?
Clearly evolution has distinguished ’insects’ from ‘Aquatic Crustaceans’.
Maybe calling them Land Crustaceans might help sell them a bit more? How about shellveal or ground kippers?
Maybe “yummy cockroaches”?
Spiders aren’t insects. I think they all come under “arthropods”.
It’s actually covered in the article:
Yes I know. I was awkwardly separating them in my sentence knowing that some cultures (mistakenly) eat insects, and some (also mistakenly) eat spiders.
That is no excuse for either.
