kinda disappointed that Colbert did not eat. Also i wonder what that one bug is that you have to fillet.
Yeah, Colbert's a weeny for not trying one. Maybe Gracer should've brought a cookie or cupcake with insect filling -- a bit more appetizing than "smoky and grassy" cicada!
i think the big one that you have to fillet is a waterbug? i hear it's a lot like the way you would eat a crab.
yeah, maybe some insect flour in a baked good would of helped, for example: Snack Time! post.
