Eggs-LESS, Going Vegan

[Roger B]

I recall this horrible infestation of ginormous jelly fish in the Sea of Japan, and the fishermen are going crazy trying to catch fish when all they would bring up is these dreadful and enormous jelly fish, they were so densely packed. And I'm thinking, someone just needs to find a use for these monstrous jelly fish and it would no longer be a problem. This infestation may still be happening. Hopefully someone has found a use for them.

When there was a recent plaque of locusts in Israel a couple of years ago people were eating them chocolate covered. They are kosher according to the bible!!

We are all limited, some more than others, in different ways.

In some ways our western civilization is so limited

Somewhere I read that the locust of the bible is a plant pod, not a bug.

Some people are more bug-phobic than other people. I have absolutely no problem with eating ants, which I have never actually done, but the thought doesn't bother me in the least. It is sort of like germ-phobia. Should my wife or son hear me suggesting that human beings could easily eat ants, they would both be unable to stifle their gag reflect and make a dreadful heaving sound. But I have my limits also. But should I be tossed into a Turkish jail, I would not hesitate to start right in on anything that moved.

Yep, not to my liking but then I wasn’t raised with that cuisine.

Bugs are a good source of protein and learned that years ago when looking at cultural anthropology

Carob is a locust (tree), and also used as a "fake chocolate".
But I would doubt that the same ambiguity (same name for the type of tree and the bug) is in the original language!

Yes, carob is a very long pod. The locust tree puts out these long pods. Are they the carob one?

Well it was the very orthodox Jews who were enjoying the locusts as I saw video clips on the news about it so I would have presumed they would have checked it out. As a more secular Jew I wouldn’t want to eat them !!! J

I think carob is a *type* of locust tree, and there are other types as well, where the pods are not edible.
At least that's my understanding.

Africans also have a tradition of eating locusts (yes the bugs), and I have read that they are very nutritious, and the people who eat them find them delicious! I'm with you Rochelle, would have to be pretty hungry to try one. But I find it easy to think that the Africans are not the only culture that would eat them.

Don't know if these particular jellyfish are edible, but the Koreans (and presumably the Japanese) have been eating jellyfish for eons -- along with just about everything else from the sea.
I've had them; can't say I was thrilled, but then I'm not fond of uni (sea urchin paste) either.
Peace,
Dale
