You know, World War III is near and soon we won't be
able to buy food anymore. We'll have to eat maggots,
worms and beetles.

So I think its necessary to think about recipes now.

How would you cook maggots? How would you prepare
worms? How would you prepare beetles, cockroaches
and slugs???

I think maggots would be lovely sauteed in garlic butter
and served with a light cream sauce over white and wild
rice with snow peas.

first, you tell me how you're going to catch them. and how
you're going to tell the poisonous beetles from the edible
ones. if you can waste the time to catch enough grubs to
bother, why wouldn't you just snare a rabbit instead?

First, head over to Thailand. You will find lots of tasty recipies
for bugs there. After that it will be like cooking any other thing
you have experiance with. You will know what works and what doesn't.

The maggots _are_ the wild rice. ;-)

They are supposed to be especially good saute'd in oil until they pop
like popcorn.

And there are plenty of wild weeds. Prickly pear cactus apples are good
as are the young pads from the plant itself. Wild grains, thistles,
wildflowers, acorns (properly processed), nutgrass roots, dandilion
greens, purslane, etc.

Grasshoppers, aka "brush shrimp".

But if we're both wrong, we could spend eternity eating maggots as
prepared by Sandra Lee.

When saute'd should you use yellow or white onion?

I can give you a good recipe for squirrel. Much more appetising than
grubs

White.

It's a South American dish.

I've got a couple. <g> Tree Rat is very tasty.
So is sky rat (aka pigeon).

The last couple of squirrels I got were just cooked simply. They were
remarkably tender and tasty, probably because they are grain fed. They
eat a lot of the grain I put out for my sky rats (that I've not
harvested in years due to lack of nesting spots until I build more).

I just wet them down to prevent hair shedding on the meat, remove the
tail, paws and head, then skin, gut and rinse them well.

Cut into quarters with poultry shears then season with a little lemon
pepper and fry them on medium heat in the CI skillet with a little olive
oil.

Mom used to make a stew with them using the usual stew ingredients. I
remember that it was quite good.

The idea of eating squirrel bothers some people. ;-)
It's a bit of a staple growing up in many southern states.
Squirrel is rather prolific.

So is pigeon.

don't be a goofball. the current paradigm is that the islamofascists
are going to come over here and personally, individually, slit our
throats. getting meat won't be a problem.

get with the program!

heh. easier than milking a maggot
but seriously, he's talking collecting beetles or grubs to
eat. that's far more time & energy consuming than setting
snares for rabbit or squirrels.
fly maggots aren't too hard to find in quantity, i suppose, &
they do have more fats than beetles.

What on earth are you two nattering about now? This is the perfect
