How would you fancy going to dinner with friends one Sunday, but instead of a nice Roast dinner you are served with a plate of Insects, Cacti, Seaweed or even factory grown meat grown from a cell?
Well I won’t be asking you lot round for Sunday lunch then!
Only joking of course. I can’t imagine eating that sort of stuff myself either.
Maybe the kids of the future won’t know any different though, if they’ve grown up with it.
I don’t mind the idea of eating seaweed and cacti, but I would pass on the insects even if I wasn’t veggie. Not really interested inthe factory grown meat either.
I suspect most of us will find insects too awful to eat, but I have tried a few strange things abroad & they have tasted ok. Prickly pears are ok, but only if somebody removes the prickles & I once ate things that looked and tasted like shrimps… but they weren’t.
I am sure that many of us have eaten Mussels and they don’t look great
Well a lot of that I already eat. Seaweed, city farmed, sustainable fish, vegetable protein, quinoa, amaranth (and I sprout amaranth on the windowsill, the sprouts are really good in sandwiches and salad, especially the red ones)
I’d have a try of jellyfish, and edible packaging would be OK, A lot like rice paper really, and didn’t they used to make edible knickers?
But I don’t fancy GM or insects, even with sugar sprinkles like in this advert that always stuck in my mind. And I’ll eat most things with sugar sprinkles
Well what does it taste like and how healthy is it? is what I would need to know before I could answer that. If the answer were positive on both counts, why not?
