Lobster was once thought of as gross poor people food. Same with escargot in France

I mean - to be fair lobster is basically a giant sea cockroach.

------

Although these organisms appear to be very different, plenty of evidence suggests that the lobster and the cockroach are more similar than many people might think! They are both arthropods with segmented bodies, exoskeletons made of chitin, and a need to molt as they grow. Both groups have compound eyes, jointed legs, and muscle fibers gathered into bands. (Is that why they taste good?) On a more superficial level, lobsters and cockroaches are both active at night and omnivorous, consuming a wide variety of foods. And while the arthropod phylum contains lots of other creatures, such spiders and centipedes, anatomical and DNA evidence all support the idea that insects and crustaceans are more closely related to one another than to the other arthropods.

I'm weirdly intrigued by the idea of tasting a Giant Isopod. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_isopod

I’m canceling our lunch appointment. When you said “This is going to be something you’ll never forget” I should have followed up with a question or two

> giant sea cockroach

I realized this once while eating one, but to my surprise I was not nauseated. Quite the opposite. I had been enjoying the lobster so much that I wondered how cockroaches taste.

Using the same reasoning cows would be indistinguisable than rats. I wouldn't drink rat milk.

Maybe we should try cockroaches next!

Can't edit, but after looking it up it turns out this is already common in some parts of the world!

So? How does the cockroach taste?

Some cultures always appreciated it. For those that not, there are different cultures and different people out of their small village.

Green crabs are perfectly good to eat -if, and only if- they are caught in a non contaminated area.

I still do actually.
