I love scorpion and cricket. I have a rule where I'll try anything at least once, I've found so many wonderful foods that just seem bizarre to most people I talk to.
Yep. And basically all he got pissyed with was the presentation. Leave off the bacon and I'm kind of jealous of how good shrimp and grits sounds. Me thinks I'll make some soon. With a good tomato sandwich.
Every single time they do these cooking shows and they get the host to do something, they run out of time before the food is finished. I think he just really wanted Stephen to be able to eat the final product. They never give these cooking segments enough time
Yep, shrimp and lobster are giant sea-bugs and crab are like ginormous sea-spiders. You'd know if you've ever removed a crab's shell. Pure *bug* inside.
ForestRaptor we can engineer our livestock bugs to only be fed by the food we give them, or some other control measure. And since bugs aren't cute and furry and cuddly no one will complain about it.
Actually, the sustainable and safest method of raising insect livestock is by providing permaculture systems of agriculture (google it) for them to thrive in naturally, and then periodically harvest genetics from the wild populations as a means to raise captive livestock. There will never be a need to "modify" them. There will never be a need to centralize production of them. Consumerism (as familiar as this concept is to you) is cancer. If you were a decent human being with sound reasoning skills and a proper evolving education, you would realize that consumerism and the criminally insane wealthy elite class that is attempting to sustain this consumerist society, is killing the planet, killing you, and sentencing your children to a lifetime of suffering. And you are selling away your children's future for convenience. That same mechanism called "planned obsolescence" has been applied to all consumer manufacturing since the 1920s when the lightbulb industry was consolidated by psychopaths to a point where they could manipulate the entire industry into adopting a standard 1000 hour life expectancy for all mass produced lightbulbs. Even though the technology existed to make lightbulbs that last for more than a Century of continuous use. There was no money in a lightbulb that lasts more than 100 years. There was a pile of money in lightbulbs that burn out in 1000 hours though. Everyone needs lights in the modern world... even the poor folks will spend their last cent on a new bulb before getting that next loaf of bread. Agriculture is no different. You have all been seduced by convenience to believe milk costs up to 5$ a gallon to produce and expires on the shelf in less time than you should probably consume it. When in fact milk is safe to consume for weeks after it's expiration date, and we know for a fact that Canadian Milk producers can put out Milk for around 12 "CANADIAN" cents per gallon. So you know how the dairy industry is ruining the planet because we "need" so much milk? We also only "want" about 1/4 of the milk being produced. The rest of it is all wasted by you, so a corporation can make that profit. And you pay more money for a lower quality product, just because it is fresh. Like all other industries you are trapped by your own delusions into a cycle of consumer self destruction. Insects have always been part of the human diet. It is only recently that industrial agriculture has suppressed the value of insects as protein in favor of their less efficient alternatives. They even press fear and disgust for insects in the media, while financing advertising campaigns to make industries they can more easily control with a centralized system. Anyone can grow edible insects in a dozen sq feet in their living space, or on a back patio with nothing but a bin and some plant waste. That's bad for the beef, chicken, and pork industry which are protected by the size of the animals and the cost of initial production. But that is the point. You can be taught to "have a taste" for anything. Demand has absolutely nothing to do with industrial farming. If you want to stop being a fukpotato, you need to stop buying convenience and considering "Wealth and Toys" to be some kind of social status. The only thing you "need" in life is nutritious food, clean air, and shelter from the elements. Everything else is in your dumb fukpotato imagination. And yes this should make you hate yourself. If it doesn't you're a psychopath. But you were duped by Psychopathic Wealth Consolidators into taking part in this Consumerist Extinction Event. So instead of being a bitch, join in with the psychopaths who are already pissed off, and get mad as all hell at your true enemies in this world. Stop buying consumerist trash. Start eating bugs. And demand income inequality and the strict and immediate regulation of capitalism. Before it is too late for your children. We are already fukt.
That helps a lot but not everything can go Ina dishwasher, for example some pots and pans. Depending what you're making you still end up washing dishes by hand.
Jessica Cornejo it's not 'future' food, people have been eating bugs since the beginning of man. It's only in Western countries that we stopped eating bugs for, well, absolutely no reason at all.
I mean, everyones probably eaten worse to be honest. US food laws have an allowance for rodent droppings and bugs so now you actually KNOW you're gonna be eating bugs at least. "The handbook allows for up to 13 “fragments” of rodent excreta in a 24-ounce container. The government permits three maggots in your 28-ounce can of tomatoes. In a regular-sized 16-ounce jar of peanut butter, the FDA will allow up to 136 insect fragments and four rodent hairs." And since I'm a chef it's not like the bugs aren't going to be processed into a more usable and flexible ingredient, we know people think it's gross so it's going to be up to us and our industry like what Chef Marcus Sameulsson is doing in this video. But that doesn't mean it's impossible to trick your brain / make something your taste buds think is delicious
It’s so great to see Colbert helping to normalize eating crickets! I bake and cook with Cricket Powder all the time, it’s a staple in my pantry, not only is it so easy to use, it’s super healthy, good for the environment, and tastes great! Thanks Stephen Colbert!
Cricket flour is actually attempting to replace regular flour since the world's bread baskets are having such horrible harvests of grain that has less and less protein content..
Yep... which is why I stocked up on flour, rice and cornmeal 6mos ago.. With all the monsoons, floods, freezes on both winter wheat and early wheat.. then drought and severe UVC... food prices are already climbing in other countries and have started here as well.
Having my husband help in the kitchen is like having a toddler "help" in the kitchen. I now have a habit that if anyone offers help, I tell them, "yeah, make sure the TV stays in the living room".
I really wish that they would have taken a bit more time with this segment, so that I could hear more details about what was going on here. I kinda…..got the gist...but, would've liked to have heard more details. Especially, what kind of hot sauce are they dipping in?? Bummer... :/
Vietnamese is the best in New Orleans? I never would've thought. I always think of NO as French, Native, Black, or Caribbean culture lol Most Asian cultures I can't help but think of California or in my area of central NY, Henrietta lol
You probably have eaten many crickets and never knew. There's a product called cocheneal that is a coloring and thickening agent in juices, and other products. Organic, natural. Powdered crickets. Thank you, Ocean Spray!
New Orleans has the best Vietnamese food said no one ever. San Jose has the best Vietnamese food in the country bar none! It is the home of the largest Vietnamese community overseas and is the Mecca of Vietnamese food.
People can only base their opinions on the best they have had where they have eaten, if he hasn't been to San Jose and had it there then in his mind he is right that the best place he has had it is New Orleans. Likewise unless you have had it in New Orleans then you are just going off your own experience in San Jose and you might change your mind if had it somewhere else.
hell nah south east asia dont eat that im from pakistan i know bout my neighbour india they wont eat bugs either dont know about chinese they'll eat anything ....
This is a very interesting segment, because Marcus sounds really weird. Like, his voice is normally much lower, and much smoother. His s sounds are lisping, and he's cracking all over the place, vocally. It sounds like he blew it out, but couldn't reschedule the appearance.
I should have been clearer, sorry, it was late. I've watched several things with Marcus, and quite like his energy and insight into foods; I was just startled by his vocal quality on this video. He's a cool chef, and he's got a very unique insight into cooking, I just wondered why he sounded different.
I saw a lady buying some crickets at a store once and asked her what they tasted like... she said they taste just like sunflower seeds... I said “well then why don’t you just eat sunflower seeds?..” she didn’t have a good answer.
Bree F. I think they rather taste like popcorn. Tried them in summer camp, fried with honey. Remove the legs before eating though, you can't really chew them. But honestly, it was rather delicious.
